Knowde Design Challenge
Snr. Product Mgr.
For select candidates, we offer you the chance to take a design challenge. We’ll give you a $100 Amazon gift card as a thank you which you will receive whether we offer you a contract or not. Only candidates who are invited to take this challenge will receive the gift card.
Below, you can select from one of the challenges. Keep in mind that this allows us to see how you work, how you think and how quickly you can design. Please don’t exceed the constraints listed for each.
By the way, these are intentionally light on detail! Have fun!

Collaborative recipe app
The Product
Chefs and people who love to cook need to invent new recipes to fill all those online and printed recipe books we all know and love and buy. What if there was a recipe-design app that helped people collaboratively design new recipes? We have a concept sketch of this new product. Let’s build it!

Find clarity
Overview
You’re building a Eyewear marketplace! Eyeglasses come in many shapes and sizes, looks and colors, lens types, frame materials and finishes. Imagine a product that lets a user find the glasses they want in the fewest number of clicks/taps but while still considering the largest corpus of eyeglass data available. For a sample data set, you can use https://www.glassesusa.com/. Consider all the decisions a user needs to make: size, style, shape, color, clear/sun, purpose (reading, driving, etc), brand. We have a concept sketch of this product. Let’s build it!

Six Degrees of Gmail
Overview
Imagine you’re working with Google on a new Gmail feature that helps users visualize the connections between the people who they email (send or receive). This feature displays a diagram of all the people the user has received email from and has sent email to so they can visualize the degrees of separation between them and make discoveries. We have a concept sketch of this product. Let’s build it!
