In a nutshell:
Alva combines established psychology with the latest technology to build more dynamic and diverse teams today. We work to create the ultimate hiring tool in order to reduce unconscious bias and save effort from those running hiring processess.

We are looking for a product designer who is passionate about building tools to allow people make the best hiring decisions.

This is a full-time position based in Stockholm, so please add a link to your portfolio and CV. We review applications continuously, and accept applications from all over the world.

Why is this role important to us:
Design is not just a part of Alva, but baked into every step of the way how we build our products and services.

As a Product Designer at Alva, you will be involved in every aspect of the product development process: from definition and ideation to a last-minute-check and iteration.

You will be expected to work across the whole product design process: from interaction design, and visual design skills. You will own the experience for a wide area of the Alva's products.

Here, product designers bridge science and engineering into elegant solutions and easy-to-use products.

For us, designers are able to identify the right problems, evaluate and come up with the right solutions and articulate ways to build the right thing.

Responsabilities:
Generate new concepts quickly based on stakeholder direction, self-driven research or emerging customer needs.

Take broad, conceptual ideas and turn them into sketches, wireframes and detailed prototypes.

Partner with other designers and engineers to oversee the user experience of new features and products from conception until launch (and then some).

You can think at a high level about creative strategy and vision (not just 'how it should look' but 'what we should build').

Qualifications:
A link to an online portfolio showcasing your work (include link on your resume).

You have a great understanding of layout, visual hierarchy and visual language. You know how to apply a design language into different platforms: from emails to native apps.

You know how to listen and engage with customers in the real world. You know how to turn research into action.

You are proficient in mapping experiences, journeys and organising information. You know how to investigate and evaluate different tools to map an experience.

Preferred qualifications:
Ability to adapt your designs across platforms and form factors with an understanding of the opportunities with and limitations of different platforms and form factors.

Experience in building and shipping applications or software.

Experience in service design methods and design research.

Demonstrated communication skills and you can articulate your design decisions.
