Super’s design team faces the exhilarating task of harmonizing the data from user research, analytics and the strategic opportunities from the product management team into a world-class design.

Our designers enable immediate experiments while also pushing the vision of what Super will be, and our UXR team derives key insights from customer research and creates access for anyone to talk directly to our customers. If you are looking for a fast paced team focused on solving really big challenges with a passion for the customer, data-driven decisions, and magic, then this is the place for you.
