About Dispatch The product

Dispatch protects your attention from the flood of digital noise throughout the day so that you can focus on your most important work. We're building a unified priority inbox for all notifications — starting with the worst offender: Slack .

Once we solve this burning need for Slack power users, we’ll expand to other notification streams: Jira, GitHub, Confluence, Notion, Asana, Google Docs, and more.

Ask yourself — how much information do you parse through everyday? How many messages, emails, notifications? We have the same hardware as our ancestors ( ), yet we have to process orders of magnitude more information than they did.

You'll be joining a small team backed by top Silicon Valley investors to tackle the problem of distraction at a transformative stage of the company. We're working with early users to iterate on the product. There are many design challenges ahead of us, and we're excited to build a team of talented and thoughtful people to tackle them.

The role

If you're excited about tools for collaboration and productivity, and have experience designing early-stage products, we'd be delighted to meet you You'll be working directly with the founders and will own critical product/UX decisions that will shape Dispatch for decades to come.

What you'll achieve

Be on the founding team of a company creating a new category of workplace software.

Own major design decisions shaping the core product.

Define our company’s design system from scratch.

Who we’re looking for

Ownership mentality

As a founding product designer on our team (employee #2), you will fully own critical product/UX decisions.

You’ll be owning the end-to-end product experience from initial concepts through low-fidelity and prototyping all the way to beautiful visual designs and a foundation design system.

Exceptional systems thinking

You’ll balance many user stories and requirements in your head at once, and weave them together into a cohesive UX. As such, you’ll need to be able to reason about complex systems.

Strong understanding of information architecture

You’ll develop UI to present the most important information to the user in a digestible format: with clear hierarchy, intuitive navigation, and easy discoverability.

Ability to communicate with curiosity, clarity, and low ego

We are a team of curious minds. If we disagree on something, that’s an opportunity to become curious about what information we might be missing — not to dig in on our position. We believe that communicating in this way allows the best ideas to flourish.

Comfort with early-stage startups

Given our early stage, this role offers the opportunity for outsized influence. Your impact will shape our company — from the core of the product, to our team culture, to our design philosophy — for years to come.

Portfolio demonstrating exceptional quality in UX, design systems, and visual design

Responsibilities

More on the day-to-day

Collaborate with the founders to plan longer-term product roadmaps

Interview users to build user empathy and hone user stories

Translate user stories and user feedback into design requirements

Turn requirements into pixel-perfect mockups

Create prototypes/interactive mock-ups for user testing

Partner with engineering to implement new features with a high standard of excellence

Wear multiple hats related to product and user experience

Working at Dispatch

️ Protected focus time — We operate on the maker's schedule . The few meetings we have are planned around focus blocks and efficiently run.

Flexible work schedule — Fancy a midday bike ride or prefer working nights? We take advantage of our small team and few meetings by working hours when we can be at our best.

Writing and documentation — From planning/proposing (specs), executing (work logs), to evaluating (post-mortems, analytics), we write everything down. Documenting decisions not only creates a shared reality for the company, but allows more people to participate in the conversation and give their opinions asynchronously.

️ Do less, well — There are infinite things to build and do, so it's important that we ruthlessly prioritize projects with the most impact. This means doing fewer things, but doing them well.

Disagree and commit — There isn't always a correct choice when it comes to product or technical decisions. Even when discussions get heated we always move forward (and fast) together.

️ Rigor — How you do one thing is how you do everything. Whether it's a code review or writing up an agenda for a meeting, we take pride in being thorough and bringing energy to every task.

Direct feedback — We make space to talk about problems and improve working relationships during regular 1:1s. We assume good intentions and treat feedback as a gift.

Competitive salary and stock options package — We are competitive with salary and generous with equity as we want our teammates to feel meaningful ownership.

Why Dispatch?

This is the most uniquely challenging product design role that you will find.

Yes, that’s a bold claim. But the reason is simple: we are creating a new category .

This requires that you, the founding product designer, re-imagine core UX patterns from first principles.

Creating a new category

We’re bringing about a generational shift on the way humans communicate. As fax machines gave way to email, which gave way to Slack — Dispatch will become the new standard for workplace communication.

In a world with Dispatch, our time and attention are protected from distractions — allowing us to focus on our most important work. This unlocks a new level of productivity between teammates, which in turn allows those teams to solve ever greater problems. We are thus building a tool that will be the foundation for a more cooperative world.

This is a rare opportunity to help bring about a radically better future.
