THE ROLE
We are not looking for one, but two awesome designers, to join us on the exciting growth journey we embarked on 🚀
You're a talented UI/UX Designer ready to conceptualize ideas, define intuitive user experiences, and design appealing interfaces. We're an award-winning digital product agency, crafting native products used by millions of people worldwide. Perhaps we're a match made in heaven?
You are a passionate team player with a healthy obsession with details. You roll up your sleeves, get out the magnifying glass, and find a solution to the problem, and you don’t sit on your hands waiting for someone to tell you what to do next. You know the difference between what looks good and what works, and you don’t mind presenting your work to others. Feedback is your friend, and you enjoy the added bonus of working directly with our clients.
So, if you are at the start of your career, or have a bit more experience (more than 2 years), we're looking for you!
