For millions of teams working in dozens of industries, day-to-day business gets done on the phone. So why — despite the huge leaps we've taken in design and usability — does most business phone software still look, feel, and act like it was born in the 90s? OpenPhone is changing that.
We’re a new type of business phone with a mission to help people communicate better and be more productive.
We’re backed by Y Combinator and some of the best venture firms around including Tiger Global, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and others. We take pride in providing an exceptional customer experience and a product people love, which is why we’re excited that our customers have rated us the #1 VoIP Provider on G2.
OpenPhone is the modern, sophisticated answer to the clunky, outdated phone systems that have been slowing down businesses for years. With thousands of happy customers and several rounds of funding in just five years, it's safe to say we're onto something big.

Some of the things you’ll do:
- Lead a broad range of design projects across our desktop and mobile apps, end-to-end from ideation to implementation.
- Prototype and test out concepts and flows to help validate hypotheses and arrive at the best outcomes.
- Sweat the details in everything you design with pixel perfection, leaving nothing up for ambiguity.
- Collaborate with our Product and Research teams and other stakeholders to create beautiful and valuable product experiences that truly delight our customers and help them grow.
- Self-identify areas of improvement and opportunities for delight in our product, leading your own design initiatives that can be shipped quickly.
- Communicate features, UI details, and user flows to the Engineering team to ensure a smooth handover and pixel-perfect end results.
- Help maintain, improve, and evolve our design system, component libraries, and product aesthetics.
- Roll up your sleeves, get involved, collaborate, and help us deliver something truly extraordinary!

- You’re super passionate about what you do, have an incredible attention to detail, and are dedicated to delivering the highest quality in everything you create.

- You're a self-starter and exceptional communicator, able to thrive in a fast-paced, remote, and distributed working environment.
- You can be scrappy and versatile when needed, able to wear many hats, and work outside of your comfort zone.
