Job Description

MarginEdge is seeking a Junior Product Designer to join our growing team. We’re on a mission to help restaurant owners and operators streamline operations and save valuable time and money so they can focus their energy on food and hospitality (i.e. why they got in the biz). Our commitment extends beyond incremental improvements; we aspire to make a meaningful impact.

As a Junior Product Designer, you’ll help craft solutions that address real user problems. Working closely with product managers, developers, and designers, you’ll translate user needs and business goals into intuitive experiences. You’ll participate in everything from user research to wireframing, prototyping, and contributing to our design system. This role is perfect for a detail-oriented problem solver eager to grow their UX skills in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

This position is hybrid, located in Arlington, VA, and offers a blend of remote work and in-office collaboration. While much of the work can be done from home, candidates should be able to join us on-site as needed to support team collaboration and strategic planning.

MarginEdge: Where hospitality meets technology

As a team built by former (and current!) restaurant operators, our mission is to bring operators the same energy, attention to detail, and passion that they bring to their guests. Our culture is deeply rooted in service, partially because that’s where so many of our team come from (including everyone on our Business Development team), but also because we believe it is just the right way to run a business. We design our software with profound empathy for the complexity of running a restaurant, and the goal of making the magic just a little easier for operators by taking the complex (read: very annoying) back office tasks off their plate, while empowering them with real-time data.

Our founders share a deep history in both owning and operating restaurants and in building successful tech companies. We are venture-backed and serve 8,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada.

We enable restaurants to make magic while knowing we are doing the same for them.

We have the utmost respect for our clients and because of this, we are unable to hire their current employees.

What type of responsibilities will I have?

  • Work with the design team to develop wireframes, high-fidelity screens, prototypes, and assist with the expansion of our Design System / component library

  • Support the creation of documentation, including personas, journey maps, and design specifications

  • Collaborate with product managers and developers to ensure accurate implementation of designs

  • Assist in user research and usability testing to gather insights on user needs and behaviors

  • Ensure screens follow our design system, brand guidelines, and accessibility standards

What qualifications or skills are required?

  • 1+ years in a design or product role, demonstrating relevant skills and contributions

  • Bachelor’s Degree in a design field, or relevant experience

  • Experience designing and prototyping in Figma

  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a strong attention to detail

  • Ability to both work independently and collaborate effectively with remote colleagues in a dynamic, fast-paced environment

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

  • Portfolio showcasing your design work (please include a link with your application)

Nice to Haves:

  • Basic understanding of user-centered design principles and responsive design

  • Familiarity with user research methodologies and usability testing processes

  • Experience with front-end technologies, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Storybook, Tailwind, and Jira

  • Experience in a startup environment

  • Experience working in or around the restaurant industry


What’s it like to work for MarginEdge?

Imagine the fun of a great restaurant - surrounded by a team of people (including some that you help to manage!) who care about hospitality, care about quality, and care about each other - then subtract the long nights, weekends, drunk customers at the bar...et voila, MarginEdge!

We work hard, we work fast and we fuel our work with a commitment of transparency from leadership, straight talk and trust between teams. We believe that the best people do their best work when they feel empowered - so whether you are remote or in our office (likely eating a catered lunch from our clients in our baller, brand new penthouse HQ in Ballston) you get to work with your manager to call your shot on what works best for you. Did we mention it has a full commercial kitchen and is walking distance (covered walking, that is) from the metro?

Benefits (Shut the Front Door, They are Amazing)
In order to fuel this rocket ship, we need to build a team as passionate about our work and product as we are. We believe that top talent (that’s you!) should feel deeply connected to their work, appreciated for the time they give to building our organization and have the balance necessary to give their best during work hours and all those after-hours too. We do this by offering a suite of kick ass benefits not only to be competitive and catch the eye of super smart people (that’s you again!) but also provide the foundation for a career you love and a life outside of work you love just as much.

  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (and we mean it, we encourage your healthy work life balance!)
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, and Short/Long-Term Disability Insurance (preventative care for the win)
  • Health Savings Account with employer match (dependent upon your medical plan selection)
  • Commuter benefits with employer contribution (excluding limos and helos - for now)
  • Generous Life Insurance Plan
  • Short- and Long-term Disability
  • Company-Paid Holidays
  • 401(k) and matching
  • Stock Options to buy into everything we are doing to support this industry
  • 12-week fully Paid Parental Leave
  • Lunch catered twice a week at our HQ in Arlington (we exclusively cater from our clients, too!
  • A wellness program that sponsors healthy activities such as step challenges and provides discounts to gyms and fitness classes.

Oh, and our recognition in the Washington Post as a top small businesses to work for in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024!

And most important, what our customers think about our work on Capterra and G2 Crowd.

Our Fine Print is Bold: We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran, marital, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law. You be you. While we are proudest of our commitment to exceptional culture and creating a truly excellent work environment, we see our benefits as an extension of that belief. Our benefits package is designed to be exceptionally competitive and a reflection of our commitment to a best-in-class workplace for all.
