UX/UI Designer/Lead

About Codeable

What you’ll be doing

• Collaborate with our product team and business stakeholders to define user problems and needs based on research and quantitative data.
• Design at all levels of fidelity including user flows, sketches, wireframes, prototypes, visual designs, and detailed interactions for a product at scale — taking into consideration the full customer journey, touchpoints, mobile, and product experience.
• Work with developers to oversee and review the building process to ensure a polished experience for both customers and experts.
• Conduct user interviews and tests regularly, as well as review product performance metrics and reports. Iterate on designs according to the gathered data and feedback. 
• Maintain and improve our design system and assets according to best practices.
• Have a strong vision for the product in relation to how it can improve and evolve to help Codeable achieve its objectives, and how it can create a great experience for all users on the platform in the process

How we work

• We are a fully distributed team, so we use a combination of Slack, internal blogs and online meetings to communicate and collaborate. Frequent and clear written communication is a must. 
• We are not obsessed with tracking hours, setting schedules and managing your time. We expect you to have a strong self-driven work ethic. You need to be a self-starter who loves taking initiative and seeing things through to completion. 
• We default to trust and care about the work you produce, not just the hours you put in.
• We are very serious about our work, but also take fun seriously. We give ourselves 32 days of paid vacation time, always appreciate a good joke and tend to not take ourselves too seriously. 

Requirements

• 5+ years of UX/UI design experience in web and mobile
• A strong portfolio and track-record of successful product iterations
• Ability to conduct effective user interviews/tests, to synthesize learnings and communicate them to other team members
• Mastery of fundamental design principles, user-centered design process, and design methodology as applied to applications delivered via the web and mobile
• Know-how to create low and high fidelity interactive prototypes, plus the ability to present those prototypes to team members from different backgrounds
• Strong attention to detail and consistency in design
• Strong interpersonal skills and oral/written communication skills in English
• Comfortable working in a distributed environment, with a high degree of personal autonomy and responsibility
• Ready and able to lead our UX/UI activities, and act as the senior stakeholder for this area; you may have been a lead already or you may be a senior UX/UI designer who wants to step-up into a lead role

Bonus points

• A degree or other training relevant to UI/UX and/or visual design
• Experience with multi-sided marketplaces
• An understanding of client-developer and/or client-designer relationships while working on a per project basis.
