Shoplift: Senior Product Designer
Loeb.nyc, United States
Job Description
Shoplift is a new, venture-backed startup building software that helps Shopify merchants make more money by improving their site without a designer or developer. With contextually intelligent recommendations based on millions of data points, as well as Shoplift's proprietary template engine that creates page components using the merchant's existing existing brand assets, merchants can use Shoplift's page-building and A/B testing tools to test and deploy new versions of their pages. With each test and improvement, merchants can significantly change the growth trajectory of their business. Pretty cool, right?
