Senior UI Designer

🔧 The position

• We love great design. This is a position that doesn't have to fight for "a seat on table".
• You'll be the first designer and work together with the Hermann, Justin & Sebastian. Over time you'll take over more and more parts. You'll bounce off ideas each other and with the entire team too.
• You'll design across Web app, iOS, Android, website and the brand.
• Over the next years we'll build up a product design team around you.
• Potentially you've been a software engineer before and can develop software on a prototype level. We value deep understanding for nuances in the design-development handover. (E.g. SwiftUI, Framer, JS,..)

👟 About you

→ We know that perfect candidates don’t exist. Even if not all of this applies to you, we’d love to learn more about you. 🦄

• You've built designed consumer facing products. We love to build custom UI and UX. Our idea of great design is questioning as many assumptions as possible. And also answering them.
• You love a good design system. You understand that it enables creativity much rather than limit it.
• You enjoy engaging the team. This means high involvement of all team members in the design process.
• You love learning technologies as you go. You always want to find the right tool for the job; and don't only follow what you already know.
• You care about more than design quality. Whatever you do, needs to have business impact. You can make trade-offs between speed and quality.

🌱 Our offer

• Salary matching your experience and market value.
• Generous stock options: We want everybody to be a true owner in Gigs (tax free until exercised).
• Full time contract.
• Visa sponsorship available and your relocation will be covered.

🎁 Our benefits

• 25 paid vacation days per year (PTO)
• The best phone plan in the world, built by you.
• Flexible working hours: We use meetings when needed and not per default.
• Get your perfect setup: Mac/Windows/Linux, Mechanical Keyboard, Plugins, IDE. We are flexible and cover whatever you need to do the best work of your life.
• Easy remote work policy: We believe in co-located teams. We have an international team. So if you want to work from home for some time, we are easy. No need to take vacation.
• Make a big difference: Take, own and implement decisions to build Gigs from scratch.
• Company health insurance policy (in case you are not from Germany and were wondering how it works over here).

🤔 Our process

The starting date is as soon as possible. However, we are willing to wait for the right candidate. And will do everything to accommodate your needs.

You'll walk through four stages:

1. Get to know each other: We use this to pitch Gigs and get you excited to join. We'll also use this chance to see whether both our expectations align.

2. Meet the team: You'll get to meet our team members (Hermann, Sebastian). We value team fit over everything else. This also gives you the chance to see whether you'd enjoy working with us.

3. Design assessment: You will share work you've done before (can be a pet project or from a previous job). We'll use that to have a conversation about which decisions you've taken and why.

4. Final conversation: The team and you are going to chat more about the position, what you value, what you took away from the interviews so far, and whatever is on your mind.

We are mindful of your time: Going through all stages can be done within one week. Once you've passed them all we will extend a formal offer.

You can also speak to one of our investors. We want to give you as many insights into us as possible. We see this as a truly two-sided decision.
