The Product

Peony aims to reimagine the future of productivity, starting with file management. Unlike Notion or Dropbox, we are not here just to solve problems within the existing web or native boundaries but to create a paradigm-shifting file browsing interface for web-native-hybrid workflows.

Our first goal is to revolutionise the file experience for teams and creatives, whose work demands frequent iterations and collaborations. Imagine a remote-desktop-like experience that allows you to work with any file types immersively and collaborate with context. It's one window for all your work, quite literally.

It's a lofty task we've given ourselves, but we will be lying if we don't tell you - what we are building will probably be the most exciting product in the consumer software space for the last five years.

So, what will you do as a Product Designer at Peony?

You will work directly with our founders to transpose Peony's vision to engaging and emotive user designs while collaborating closely with the engineering team throughout the design and development process.

As Product Designer, you'll appreciate the massive opportunity that human-centred design poses for optimising productivity and driving increased product engagement. In your role, you will have great autonomy over your work and receive ongoing support and coaching to progress your career.

If you get energy from learning, collaborating, creating clever user experiences, building design workflows, and developing adaptable design systems, then Peony is the place for you!
