At MetaLab, we design pretty exciting products, but the building is where you come in. Our engineering team needs your help in setting up projects and bringing our products across the finish line for our clients to enjoy in the wild. To thrive in this role, you’ll provide technical support and guidance on projects, tackle new skills, and show up ready for anything. We believe the magic happens when you combine thoughtful collaboration, strong processes, and the freedom for people to be themselves. When you’re comfortable being yourself, you do your best work and inspire others to do the same.

As a UX Researcher at MetaLab you will be responsible for making sure that the product team is set up for success. You will act as a compass, pointing teams toward the most impactful product designs. You’ll spend your time listening to and understanding the needs and goals of both clients and users, unlocking answers that will set product teams up to create world-class products. Your research readouts will frame up and define user needs and priorities, and identify product recommendations to address pain points. Reports, personas, workflow diagrams, and user stories are just a few of your outputs in order to fully arm our product teams.

For this role, we’re on the lookout for someone with a vested interest in helping other designers find their own groove. We named it “Design Lead” for a reason, and we invite you to take that literally. We do product design, so your comprehension of what it takes to get digital products out the door is our first non-negotiable. Beyond that, you’ve established yourself as someone people look up to, and you don’t take that privilege lightly. You’ll still deal in pixels, but you’ll also play an integral role in a project’s success with clear direction, leadership, guidance, and encouragement. You believe that good ideas can come from anywhere, and you actively support your team in making sure everyone is heard.

For the MetaLab hiring squad, our culture of distributed teams means that the world is our acquisition oyster. We’re always looking to grow our global team, and we need your help bringing the best of the best onboard. As an ambassador to the MetaLab brand, you’ll develop a keen eye for what makes our aesthetic so special, and be able to articulate that differentiation to prospective candidates. Success in this role isn’t measured by call volume or scheduled interviews, because we choose quality over quantity in everything we do, every damn time. This means you’ll bring creative sourcing strategies to the table without compromising on the calibre of candidate skill set or character.

At MetaLab, we design, build, and ship some pretty exciting products. The building and shipping are where you come in. Our engineering team is looking for someone to help them steer client projects confidently across the finish line.

As the VP, Engineering, your overarching responsibility will be to own and evolve engineering at MetaLab. At any given moment, your day-to-day will include a combination of the following: setting the engineering team up for success, being a thought partner on the Exec team, landing new business opportunities, and ensuring the overall quality of our work. You know what it takes to both keep up with and get ahead of the ever-changing technological landscape, so it goes without saying that adaptability is paramount. A deep appreciation for collaboration will also be key, as you’ll work with other Exec team members, Engineering Directors, Management, as well as, Design, Partnerships, and Ops departments on defining the trajectory of our Engineering department. Externally, you’ll represent the engineering team in front of clients, which means listening well, communicating a clear point-of-view, and bringing quiet confidence to the room. Above all else, you care deeply about building teams and shipping exceptional products.

At MetaLab, our Design Directors strike a balance among project oversight, learning, and development. This role is for the kind of person who can see the forest for the trees from any vantage point, be it from a client meeting or a design file. On any given day, you’re able to step up and lead or step back and evaluate how to best support your team. Adaptability, humility, and resourcefulness are table stakes, as no two projects (or clients) are alike.

Principal Designers elevate the quality of our work and, as seasoned craft-focused designers, bring a passion for product design thinking and execution on a variety of project types and product platforms. Principal Designers at MetaLab are consistently relied upon to deliver on more complex tracks of work on their projects, and are often consulted on additional projects to improve the quality of work across the company.
