Senior Product Designer: Creating intuitive user interfaces and experiences that drive product success

We are an independent, global design and development firm that partners with growth-oriented companies to launch, amplify, and reinvent how they connect with the world, blending strategy, design, and development into experiences that drive impact. We're a home for the obsessed, where 'good enough' simply isn't enough. Our international team of 26 minds is driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, creating products, websites, and brands that people remember.

Since 2020, we've delivered 100+ projects and impacted 20 million users, working with everyone from early-stage startups to publicly traded companies. Our CEO, Niklas Johannknecht, remains actively involved in all projects, eliminating layers of politics and bureaucracy while ensuring direct mentorship and strategic guidance.

We are looking for someone who transforms user needs into compelling product experiences. You will also research, design, and optimize user interfaces and interactions across digital products. You will collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to develop user-centered solutions that balance business goals with user satisfaction.

Working directly with our design team and international marketing and development colleagues across Münster, Sofia, London, and NYC, you'll be part of focused teams that work on only two projects at a time, enabling deep focus and exceptional results. To maintain efficient collaboration, you must be located in CET, GMT, or EST time zones with availability during our core working hours.

In this position, you will be responsible for designing, prototyping, and iterating on product features and user experiences. You will utilize your design thinking and user research skills to create intuitive and engaging interfaces. You will develop high-quality design solutions, with a focus on usability, accessibility, and user satisfaction. By conducting user research, creating wireframes, prototypes, and design systems, you will contribute to the advancement of our product offerings and user engagement. Additionally, collaborating with cross-functional teams and supporting product strategy will be part of your responsibilities.

You'll work within our core principles of overdelivering on velocity and craft, owning every decision with transparent thinking, and obsessing over the details that matter while stripping away unnecessary complexity.

We are looking for someone who embodies the following qualities for our Product Designer role:

• User-centered: We want someone who is genuinely passionate about understanding users and solving their problems through thoughtful design. Your empathy and user focus will drive you to continuously improve product experiences and user satisfaction.

• Detail-oriented: We value meticulousness and precision in our design work. As a Product Designer, you should have a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every interaction and interface element contributes to a seamless user experience.

• Collaborative: Collaboration is essential in our team. We are seeking a team player who enjoys working in a cross-functional environment, partnering closely with product managers, engineers, and researchers to bring innovative solutions to life.

• Problem Solver: As a Product Designer, you will encounter complex user and business challenges. We are looking for someone who enjoys problem-solving, can think systematically about user flows, and excels at finding creative solutions to design challenges.

• Strategic Communicator: Clear and effective communication is crucial in any team. You should be able to articulate design decisions, present user research findings, and communicate design rationale effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Systematic and Process-driven: Great product design requires structured thinking and methodology. We need someone who is systematic in their approach, able to follow design processes while knowing when to adapt and iterate.

• Growth mindset: We value candidates who are willing to expand their skills and embrace new design challenges. A growth mindset and eagerness to learn about emerging design trends, tools, and methodologies are highly appreciated.

• Quality-focused and reliable: Maintaining design standards and meeting project deadlines are essential. We need someone who can consistently deliver high-quality work and take ownership of the user experience outcomes.

• Curious and transparent: Open communication and curiosity are important to us. We encourage individuals who ask thoughtful questions, seek to understand user behavior, and are comfortable sharing their design process and insights with the team.

• 7-10+ years of experience in Product or UI/UX Design, or 3-5+ years with an exceptional portfolio that demonstrates mastery and innovation.

• Expert proficiency in design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite).

• Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and methodologies.

• Experience with user research methods and usability testing.

• Knowledge of interaction design and prototyping techniques.

• Understanding of design systems and component-based design.

• Experience with responsive and mobile-first design approaches.

• Familiarity with front-end development principles (HTML, CSS basics).

• Strong presentation skills and ability to defend design decisions.

• Experience working in agile development environments.

• Proven track record of shipping successful digital products.

• Ability to balance user needs with business requirements and technical constraints.

Our career opportunity offers numerous benefits that fuel your journey from good to world-class. You will enjoy flexibility and responsibility, as fixed working hours are irrelevant to us as long as tasks are completed on time. As a remote-oriented company, we enable agile work practices, faster creativity, and ensure efficient operations.

• Growth: Fueling your growth is our top priority. We provide cutting-edge tools, workshops, and resources that keep aligned with industry changes and practices while you continue to grow.

• Remote: Our team is internationally distributed, offering you the flexibility to work remotely or from one of our Hubs. This allows our team to work with diverse companies and missions — working how you perform best.

• Flexible culture: We're meeting-light, giving you autonomy to work when inspiration strikes. Our culture values independence and results over presence. Manage your time, deliver excellence, work on your terms.

• Community: Our team consists of minds who bring their professional dedication to all aspects of life, from fitness to art. We connect through company off-sites and cross-department collaboration.

• Competitive compensation: We never overlook potential by offering competitive salaries and revenue-sharing models. Our packages reward excellence and foster collaboration. Your obsession with quality deserves matching compensation.

• Additional perks: Period breaks for recharging, yoga & fitness membership, pro bono program for meaningful impact, and knowledge budget for continuous learning.

• You're satisfied with "good enough" and don't feel the need to obsess over user experience details and design quality.

• You prefer working in isolation without regular collaboration with product managers, engineers, and other cross-functional team members.

• You're uncomfortable with the responsibility that comes with making design decisions that directly impact user satisfaction and business metrics.

• You avoid user research and prefer to make design decisions based on assumptions rather than data and user feedback.

We are not looking for someone to just fill a spot, we're looking for someone that drives and shapes our culture and collaboration and wants to push things further than ever before. We believe that as a strong collective of obsessed minds, we can go far. Far beyond design and technology. Our core principles that influence the way we think and behave:

• Don't settle for "good": We believe every project deserves more than "good enough." Move fast, deliver with care, and consistently exceed expectations without sacrificing quality for speed. We're going the long way and ideating until perfection.

• Own every decision: We make our thinking transparent and take full responsibility for our choices. Every decision is explained, justified, and shared, so everyone is aligned. We surface problems early and invite honest feedback because openness builds trust.

• Obsess over details: We sweat the details that matter: design, data, and user experience. Strip away noise and complexity everywhere else. This keeps our work sharp, effective, and easy to move forward while helping us grow together.

• Lead with purpose: Every engagement starts with a clear mission and focused team working on just two projects at a time. We avoid distractions, ignore shiny trends, and keep our process lean so we can adapt quickly and stay true to what matters most.
