Senior Product Designer

About the company

Boxed was launched in our CEO’s garage in 2013 by our four founders; an eclectic group of experienced tech pioneers. They had a simple idea: to make shopping for bulk-sized products easy, convenient and fun. Today, we deliver a first class e-commerce experience for everyday essentials across the country. We work out of our corporate headquarters in New York City, another corporate office in San Mateo, and our three fulfillment centers serving the country from New Jersey, Nevada and Texas.

We’re a late stage start-up that places technology and innovation at the heart of all that we do. Our technology platform and automated, state-of-the-art fulfillment centers make headlines and our systems utilize machine learning, predictive analytics and other technologies to ensure a delightful B2C and B2B online shopping experience. While technology is at the core of what we do, providing a personalized, thoughtful and seamless shopping experience is at the core of who we are. We value each and every customer and every single order receives a hand-written thank you note.

 

We’re a vibrant group of thinkers, dreamers and doers that engineer, design, market and execute with a passion for delivering amazing experiences to our customers. We’re driven by each other to fulfill our greatest potential and we’re driven by excellence in everything we touch.

Throughout Covid-19 pandemic, our team has stayed close-knit with daily standups and weekly design check-ins in a remote working environment.
