Before you apply

Eight Sleep is an intense environment: we’re demanding and ambitious, which means we ask a lot of ourselves and one another. This means fantastic learning, achievements, and career growth, but it also requires a significant commitment. Our dedication, drive, and intensity rivals those of Olympic athletes. At Eight Sleep, we have Kobe Bryant’s mamba mentality—we always aim to be at the best 1% of what we do.

This is not a typical 9‑5 role; some employees report working up to 60 hours per week. If you want to be challenged and pushed harder than ever before, you’re invited to apply.

The role

We’re looking for a product designer who thinks beyond aesthetics. Someone who is as passionate about crafting seamless user experiences as they are about beautiful interfaces. You care deeply about building, shipping, and iterating on real products, not just making polished mockups that never see the light of day.

As a Product Designer on our mobile team, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the Eight Sleep app, driving the design of engaging, intuitive, and seamless experiences that help users optimize their sleep and health.

• Iterate:

• You’ll align with Product and Brand stakeholders and clearly present design updates to C‑suite leadership for feedback and approval.
• You’ll serve as the subject‑matter expert responsible for app design patterns and interactions—including researching and staying up‑to‑date on emerging mobile design trends and best practices.
• You’ll collaborate closely with the Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams to ship world‑class products and features.
