Product Designer, Ecommerce

• **Reports To:**
• VP of Ecommerce
• **Location:**
• On site, Durham, NC
• **To Apply**
• Email jess@mycarpe.com with three things: a paragraph in your own words, not written by AI, on why you are the right person for this; a PDF of your resume; and a link to your portfolio. Point us to one page you designed and built yourself, and tell us the number it moved. Email is the only way to apply.
• **About Carpe**
• Carpe is the fastest growing deodorant brand in the US. Our team is composed of about 30 insanely smart people working together in person in downtown Durham, NC. Our office is rather open with many private niches, and our energy level is

High

• **About the Role**
• Our website is where people decide whether they believe us. You are going to make it better every single week.
• You are a designer first. You understand why someone scrolls past one page and buys from the next, and you can put that understanding into a layout, a headline, a button. Most of our traffic is on a phone, so that is where you start.
• You will also get your designs into the browser yourself. You do not need to be a developer. You do need to be willing to learn enough HTML, CSS and Liquid to ship your own work, and you need to be excited about using AI tools to get there. Cursor, Claude Code, whatever gets a mockup live fastest. We will teach you the stack. We cannot teach you taste or curiosity.
• Everything you ship gets measured. You will learn what conversion rate optimization actually means in practice: forming a hypothesis, building the test, reading the result, and shipping the winner. If you already know CRO, great. If you don’t yet but want to be exceptional at it, this is the place to learn.
• **What You Will Do**
• Design landing pages, funnels and on-site experiences that make more people buy
• Build and ship your own designs on our Shopify storefront, with AI tools and our help, and get better at it every month
• Run the testing program with us. Frame the test, build it, launch it, read it, ship the winner
• Watch session recordings and let what people actually do decide what you design next
• Make every page pixel clean on every screen size, phone first
• Keep the design system tight so the site stays consistent as it grows
• Catch your own broken states, slow loads and crooked copy before a customer does
• **What We Are Looking For**
• You have a portfolio of web or product design work, and you can explain the thinking behind it
• You have taste, and you can explain why something works
• You understand what drives a purchase decision, or you are hungry to learn
• You are comfortable in Figma and want to be comfortable in the browser
• You have used AI tools to build something, or you can’t wait to
• You design for the phone first and it shows
• You want to own the result, not just the design
• You take input well and still make the call
• You want to be exceptional at this, not just good at it
• **What Makes You Stand Out**
• You have shipped your own designs in HTML and CSS, even if they were rough
• You have run or contributed to A/B tests and can tell us what you learned
• You come from a DTC brand or a team that lives and dies by conversion
• You have worked in Shopify themes before
• You care about page speed and accessibility without being asked
• **Why This Role**
• This is the surface where design meets revenue. Every customer we have will touch what you build. You get to ship fast, test everything, and watch the number move. Not many designers get a scoreboard. You will.
• **What You Will Get**
• Health, vision and dental
• Flexible PTO
• A front row seat to the growth of one of the most disruptive brands in body care
