Product Design at Playground
At Playground, we're all about helping child care owners run & grow their businesses. As product designers, it's our job to make that experience simple and intuitive for all. It takes creative thinking, experience, and collaboration to make that work. Sound like fun? Join us!
How we work
Be opinionated by default, and flexible under the hood. We optimize our designs to feel simple and opinionated by default, but progressively reveal power and flexibility.
Craft is important
What you ship is what matters. Our deliverable is not the design file. We take pride and ownership in what we ship.
Design is at the heart of Playground
We love design. One of our co-founders is a designer, so we’ve always understood just how completely and utterly indispensable design is.
This work matters
We solve real problems for real businesses by helping our customers connect to their customers. Our work is used by hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
Speed
You’ll have the right setup to get things done, fast. No big process, just making progress. Check out our manifesto about shipping.
The design team
We ship more in a week than our competitors do in a quarter
