- We’re 100% remote and you’ll have the freedom to work from where you want within CET +2/-2 timezones (Central European Time).
- Competitive compensation (a negotiable package of salary and equity), benefits, paid vacation, and other perks.
We require that you:
- Have 5+ years of design experience, working on online applications with real-world users
- Are able to provide samples of work that show complex and creative UX solutions, strong visual design, and solid information architecture
- Have experience working collaboratively with product, engineering, and creative teams throughout the product development life-cycle to iterate on and deliver a user experience that is of the highest standard
- Love communicating complex design solutions across uses cases by creating process flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high fidelity mock-ups

- Have a positive attitude, a sense of humor, and a desire to build accessible products for all users
- Are a fluent English speaker and writer with excellent communication skills, to be able to set clear goals, and bring people along to them
