Padlet is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.
There are some products that are so good, you feel delight using them. You wish you had more problems just so could use the products more. Think Dyson vacuum cleaner, a faucet with the perfect laminar flow, a sharp knife, WD40.
We aspire to build such products at Padlet, and are looking for a Product Designer to help us fulfill our aspirations. This is an in-person role in Singapore.
Design of beautiful new products and features across mobile and web.
Coach less experienced designers in the design team.
Help hire more designers, if necessary.

You are honest.
You've designed beautiful software products.
Bonus: you have a good sense of humor.

Product: We are making the default way of collecting and sharing thoughts on the Internet. People love the product.
Impact: We have 40 million users, making Padlet one of the most used apps on the planet.
Money: We are venture backed AND fiscally responsible. We are built to last one hundred years.
Badassery: We are only 60 odd people. That's over half a million active users per person.
We don't design with data or A/B tests unless we really don't know what the right answer is.

CEO has very strong opinions about design and can often be incorrigible.
Work can be chaotic. "Change of plans. Let's do this instead." is not uncommon.
You will get hate mail whenever you redesign something. Many users feel very strongly about the product.
Brian Koh: Only human we know who has impulsive urges to exercise. When he does, he doesn't care about outfits. We've seen him running in boots, tight jeans, and leather jackets. Exceptional engineer and even better mentor.
Gerard Searchfield: Insists that wallabies and kangaroos are different animals, artificially inflating the biodiversity of his homeland. Will notice a 1px misalignment from 18 feet away.

Because we're small, we move fast. And because we have tremendous traction, your designs will go in the hands of millions. This combination of speed and impact is rare and quite satisfying.
