Now Brewing – designer, Digital UX & Design   

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

At Starbucks, we believe that great design fuels meaningful connections—between customers, partners, and our brand. As part of the UX & Design team within our Digital organization, you will design and deliver world-class experiences across mobile, web, and in-store platforms.  Your work will influence how millions of customers interact with Starbucks each day—designing both the customer‑facing experiences in coffeehouses, such as digital menus, ordering, and payment, and the underlying systems and platforms that enable them. You’ll collaborate with cross‑functional partners, contribute to end‑to‑end design projects, and help create digital experiences that are intuitive, scalable, and visually engaging.

  As a designer, you will...

• Help design features and experiences that reach millions of users every day, contributing to well-defined problems and feature areas while learning from and partnering with senior designers.
• Support the creation of clean, intuitive user interfaces across platforms, using a full design process—from research and planning to wireframing and prototyping.
• Collaborate closely with researchers, product managers, engineers, data analysts, and other designers to bring ideas to life across app and web.
• Support the design file handoff process, ensuring all design specifications, assets, and interaction details are clearly documented and communicated to engineering and QA teams to support smooth implementation and high-quality delivery.  
• Help maintain and evolve our design system by applying patterns consistently, identifying gaps, and contributing improvements as the system grows.
• Present design solutions and storytelling artifacts to a wide variety of teams and departments.
