Description

Principal Product Designer (Hybrid) Overview: Weedmaps is seeking a highly creative, visionary Product Designer to help define the future of our mobile experience. As a Lead, Staff, or Principal Product Designer, you’ll play a pivotal role in modernizing and reimagining the Weedmaps app — bringing it into the next generation of mobile design and social commerce. You’ll craft experiences that bridge utility and culture, blending marketplace, e-commerce, and social interaction models in ways that inspire discovery, trust, and engagement. From helping people find local retailers and deals, to shaping how consumers and brands connect in a vibrant community — your work will directly influence how millions experience cannabis digitally. The impact you'll make: Lead end-to-end mobile design across iOS and Android — from insight to execution — with a focus on performance, delight, and forward-looking interaction design. Drive the modernization of the Weedmaps app by introducing cutting-edge mobile design paradigms and interaction models rooted in today’s top consumer products. Translate strategy into deeply engaging experiences across discovery, browsing, ordering, personalization, and social connection. Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Brand leadership to define a cohesive design language and elevate our visual and interaction standards. Use motion, micro-interactions, and system-level design thinking to bring our mobile ecosystem to life. Build, refine, and expand our mobile design system to ensure scalability and craft excellence. Mentor designers, shape creative direction, and elevate the quality of design across the organization. What you've accomplished: 10+ years of product design experience, with significant focus on native mobile applications. Proven success designing and shipping large-scale experiences in marketplace, e-commerce, or social network products — ideally from companies like TikTok, TikTok Shop, DoorDash, Uber, UberEats, Instacart, Pinterest, or similar. Mastery of modern mobile interaction patterns — from gestural navigation, feed-based discovery, and personalized surfaces to seamless transactional flows. Strong sense of visual craft, motion, and interaction design — with an instinct for creating fresh, intuitive, and emotionally resonant user experiences. Ability to drive ambiguous initiatives, set design direction, and influence product strategy at the executive level. Deep understanding of consumer psychology, trust design, and behavioral patterns in mobile commerce ecosystems. A collaborative mindset and passion for building products that feel alive, social, and future-forward. Bonus points: Experience designing creator or influencer tools, social feeds, or content discovery experiences that connect communities and brands. Familiarity with personalization algorithms, AI-assisted recommendations, or content-driven marketplaces. Passion for the evolving cannabis consumer landscape and curiosity for how design can help normalize and elevate the category. What success Looks Like: You redefine the Weedmaps mobile experience as the standard for next-generation commerce and culture. You elevate the craft of interaction design across every team touchpoint. You inspire creativity across the org and set a new benchmark for how mobile design can feel alive, social, and intuitive.
