What You’ll Do:
• Lead the end-to-end design process, from initial concept to final implementation, ensuring each step reflects our commitment to user-centered design and emotional engagement. • Design intuitive, engaging, and visually cohesive user interfaces for our iOS app, collaborating closely with our iOS engineer and CEO. • Create and maintain our design system, establishing a visual language that enhances brand recognition and user experience. • Collaborate with engineering to ensure seamless implementation of design elements and maintain a high-quality standard across the product. • Conduct user research, prototyping, and testing to continuously iterate on designs based on user insights and data. • Advocate for a design-driven culture within our team, ensuring empathy, kindness, and human-centered principles guide our work.
Ideal Candidate:
• Proven experience as a Product Designer, UI/UX Designer, or similar role, ideally in the social tech space. • Strong portfolio showcasing mobile design projects, especially iOS applications. • Proficiency in design tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD. • Experience in both user interface and user experience design, with a keen eye for detail and empathy for the user’s needs. • Ability to work autonomously, think critically, and take ownership of the design process. • A passion for our mission to foster genuine, meaningful human connections through technology.
Bonus Points:
• Background in conducting user research and usability testing, with the ability to gather and act on insights. • Previous startup experience or a record of designing for fast-paced, iterative environments. • Understanding of SwiftUI and iOS design patterns for effective collaboration with our engineering team.
What We Offer:
• Competitive compensation with 1-2% equity in a high-potential startup. • Health, vision, and dental benefits for your overall well-being. • Regular company offsites in inspiring locations to recharge and connect. • Opportunity to work in a beautiful LA office, designed to foster creativity and productivity. • Unlimited PTO, supporting work-life balance and personal rejuvenation. • Personal and professional growth opportunities as you help build a product with a mission to make a positive impact.
Join Us: If you’re a visionary designer with a desire to create meaningful products and shape a brand from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you. This is more than just a job; it’s a chance to be part of something truly special.
