OVERVIEW

DESIGN AT INSTACART

Every year, people across the world spend nearly one trillion dollars on groceries. It’s an industry that’s been around for centuries. Food itself, however, has been a constant in people’s lives since the beginning of time. Yes, sustenance is essential, but it’s also much more than that. Food can be a part of a daily ritual or a special moment that resonates with people on a meaningful and emotional level. It can be a much-needed break in a long day, a taste that brings back memories, a creative experiment, a shared meal with loved ones, or even comfort during a hard time. Whether it’s a special occasion or an everyday occurrence, it should always be easy for people to get the ingredients they need.
The Instacart Design Team is dedicated to making grocery shopping effortless for everyone and finding solutions to large-scale challenges that will forever change the way people feed themselves and their loved ones.

Our Growth team has been one of Instacart’s highest-profile teams recently, and will continue to be in the coming year. As opposed to typical surface teams that will focus on one area/feature (i.e. Search, Checkout, etc.), we focus on periods of the user’s journey to figure out how to improve and optimize the overall experience. How are we treating a first-time user? What about their second, or third time around?
Our organization is currently built into three teams across that journey: Acquisition, Conversion, and Retention. We prize designers that push for quality in a fast-paced, analytical environment, and know the balance between user and business value.

Our Retention team is tasked with improving the user experience after their first order with Instacart. They examine ways or reasons that people may stop ordering with Instacart, and continuously iterate on? the product to reflect the value and quality that Instacart provides. Currently, this is through focusing on product areas including (but not limited to) recurring orders, our Express program and notifications, and we’re looking for a designer that can embody these customers’ needs.
