Senior UI/UX Designer: Bringing ideas and visions to visual designs

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 a talented individual who brings their creativity and vision to our work, adding a unique personality to our team. In this position as a UI/UX Designer, you will collaborate closely with other designers and problem solvers to create innovative websites and products that set new standards.

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

Your primary role will be to conduct user research and translate your findings into visually captivating wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs. You will leverage your creativity to seamlessly integrate design elements and evaluate the usability and user experience. Moreover, you will be responsible for developing prototypes for new product concepts and conducting tests to facilitate the implementation process. Consistent user research will be a fundamental aspect of your job. You will maintain open communication with our CEO and deliver regular feedback to fellow team members.

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 UI/UX role:

• Empathetic: The ability to understand and address the needs and emotions of the users is crucial. Being empathetic helps create designs that provide a seamless experience and cater to user pain points.

• Analytical: Strong analytical skills are essential for interpreting user research, feedback, and metrics. It is important to transform data into effective design solutions in the field of UI/UX.

• Go-getter mentality: We value individuals who are determined to achieve outstanding results. Taking initiative and going the extra mile to exceed expectations is highly desired.

• Passion and obsession: We seek someone who is deeply passionate about their work and has genuine enthusiasm for what they do. A strong drive to constantly improve and elevate their skills is important.

• Growth mindset: We value candidates who are willing to step outside their comfort zone and embrace challenges. A growth mindset and eagerness to learn and develop are highly appreciated.

• Timeliness and reliability: Meeting deadlines and having a strong work ethic are essential. We need someone who can consistently deliver and take responsibility for their tasks.

• Honesty and transparency: Open communication and trust are important to us. We encourage individuals who are honest, transparent, and comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas with the team.

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

• Portfolio showcasing UI Design work.

• Detail-oriented.

• User-oriented problem solver.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

• Critical thinker.

• Organized and independent.

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

• Experience with user research methods and usability testing.

• Proficiency in design tools (Figma and Adobe Creative Suite).

• Knowledge of interaction design and prototyping techniques.

• Understanding of design systems and component-based design.

• Experience with responsive and mobile-first design approaches.

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. You can freely choose whether you want to continue working remotely or join us at one of our headquarters.

• 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 details and learning about new things.

• You prefer structured environments with clear hierarchies rather than working in a collaborative culture where everyone's voice matters.

• You're uncomfortable with the pressure and responsibility that comes with creating work that impacts millions of users and shapes industries.

• You avoid challenging conversations and prefer to keep problems to yourself rather than sharing openly and asking for help when needed.

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.
