We are hiring a visionary Principal designer to join our AppExchange UX team.  AppExchange is the world’s largest B2B marketplace, powering the Salesforce ecosystem with thousands of apps, components, data solutions, and consulting services.

You’ll immerse yourself in all aspects of end-to-end experience design, including using storyboards, journey maps, flow diagrams, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups to communicate design ideas and direction.

Behind each product is a team of talented UX designers and engineers, driven by the power of design to build integrated and ethical experiences that support strong relationships for our users and their customers. Bring your skills, inspire your team, and create amazing experiences as you help us transform the way business gets done.
