As a UX/UI Designer, your primary focus will be on designing user flows and interfaces that simplify complex interactions between businesses and consumers. You’ll be the go-to person for ensuring that both sides of the marketplace have a seamless and intuitive experience.

- Responsive design: Ensure that the platform’s design is fully responsive, delivering a consistent experience across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.
- B2B and B2C alignment: Design solutions that cater to both B2B and B2C users, understanding the different needs of each user group and balancing their requirements in the design process.
- Design system development: Help establish and maintain a design system that ensures consistency across all parts of the platform, from typography to components and interactions.
- Cross-team collaboration: Work closely with the founders, a product manager and couple of developers, participating in sprints and reviews to ensure your designs are implemented accurately and efficiently.
Who you are:
- Experienced: 3-5 years of experience in UX/UI design, with a strong emphasis on interaction design and user flows.
- User-centered: Expert in user-centered design, with a proven ability to translate user research and feedback into actionable design decisions.
- Tool-proficient: Skilled in Figma and other design tools, with experience in creating high-fidelity prototypes and design systems.
- Detail-oriented: Keen eye for detail, especially in ensuring that designs are both functional and visually polished.
- Collaborative: Comfortable working in a cross-functional, remote-first team, with excellent communication skills to articulate design decisions.
- Self-driven: Thrives in a startup environment where you can take ownership of your projects and drive them to completion.
Why join?
- Remote-first: Work from anywhere with the flexibility to manage your own schedule.
- Direct impact: Your designs will directly influence the user experience and success of the platform.
- Small team: Join a tight-knit team where your contributions are valued and can directly affect the company’s trajectory.
