About Us
Rare Days is a multi-disciplinary digital product studio obsessed with helping creators and community-led organizations build lasting legacies. Since 2020, we’ve designed and built products at the intersection of content, community, and commerce — empowering creators and content-led businesses to turn their passion into sustainable platforms.
Our clients range from world-renowned creators like Esther Perel, Colin & Samir, and Sophia Amoruso to global companies like Airbnb and Notion. We specialize in membership platforms, creator tools, and community-driven products — and our edge comes from knowing these audiences as well as we know product design.
We’re a distributed team, based in Canada, and are open to candidates who can work within 4 hours of the PST timezone.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Product Designer to join our growing team and support ongoing design work across several long-term client engagements. These are platforms we’ve helped launch — and continue to help evolve.
This role is ideal for a thoughtful, detail-oriented designer who can work independently within a cross-functional team. You’ll be the primary designer on your projects, collaborating closely with product managers and engineers to design new features, refine user flows, and improve the overall experience.
While you’ll have support and guidance from senior members of the design team, most of your day-to-day work will happen inside client-facing teams — making design decisions, shipping high-quality work, and contributing to products used by thousands of creators and fans.
Core Responsibilities
Design Execution
- Design new features and refine existing functionality within live digital products
- Translate wireframes, product briefs, and user feedback into clear, production-ready UI
- Help identify and address friction points across the user journey
- Contribute to polished, high-quality designs that meet both user needs and business goals
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with product managers and engineers to scope, iterate, and ship work efficiently
- Align designs with existing product direction and design systems, with opportunities to suggest thoughtful refinements
- Maintain well-organized Figma files and clear documentation for handoff and implementation
- Participate in team rituals like stand-ups, reviews, and async critiques
Independent Contribution
- Operate as a reliable, self-directed contributor within a supportive design team
- Seek feedback and guidance from Lead and Senior Designers to improve design quality and unblock decisions
- Contribute ideas to product conversations, especially around usability, clarity, and feature enhancements
- Stay curious and proactive about growing your skills and leveling up your craft
What We’re Looking For
- 3–5 years of product design experience (preferably in a studio, agency, or startup environment)
- A portfolio that shows strong UX thinking, UI design, and attention to detail
- Proficiency in Figma
- Solid understanding of user-centered design and responsive web principles
- Strong communication and collaboration skills — especially when working with cross-functional teams
- A growth mindset — open to feedback, eager to learn, and comfortable in a supporting role
- Bonus: Experience working on content platforms, creator tools, or membership products
Compensation and benefits
- The opportunity to shape products used by some of the most recognizable creators and online communities
- A collaborative, respectful team that values autonomy and craft
- Competitive compensation (Salary Range: $65–75k CAD depending on experience)
- Unlimited paid time off for vacation, sick days, and personal time
- Flexible working hours and a remote-first culture
- Extended health care benefits for Canadian employees
