What We’re Looking For:
The Robin Design team is working hard to explore, define, and build the experience that powers the next generation of the workplace. We want system thinkers who can identify patterns to the root cause. Then, apply that thinking to build systems that span the virtual and physical workplaces.

- Collaborate with product managers and engineers to shape large-scale visions for product areas
