About Zello
Zello is a voice-first communication platform, powered by our industry-leading push-to-talk technology, to improve collaboration and productivity for desk-less workers. With over 175+ million users, we’re the #1 rated push-to-talk app in the world, delivering 9 billion (yes, with a B) messages a month.
At Zello, our company values are at the heart of what we do everyday. We’re proud to serve the frontline, we’re privileged to connect people in times of crisis across the globe, and we’re honored to support first responders.
And this is where you come in.
As a Senior Product Designer at Zello, you will work with your team to design new features from the ground up for our iOS and Android apps, and secondarily web and desktop platforms. From foundational exploration and research through prototyping and testing, you’ll help your (and our) vision come to life. Whereas many designers approach their work with a heuristic analysis, you balance heuristics with research. Our 175+ million users span all levels of technical prowess and ability, and we’ve learned that what’s best for many users isn’t what’s best for others. You'll see projects through in all their forms by analyzing a problem space, researching competitors, proposing solutions, usability testing your designs, revising, revising more, and finally handing off for development.
What you'll do
-
Design primarily for mobile iOS and Android apps, with a secondary focus on web and desktop.
-
Express your ideas in the most efficient low-fidelity format, and deliver them in pixel-perfect high fidelity.

-
You have a background in digital products with complex, diverse user bases. Our app serves a variety of users, from frontline workers to HAM radio enthusiasts to Latin American teens.
