Your role

Your work is roughly half product design and half frontend engineering. As our only designer and a core part of our frontend team, you shape the look, feel and usability of calmar.vc and see features through from the first idea until they're live. You work closely with our Head of Product & Technology, and our Lead Engineer, who supports you with architecture and code reviews. Our stack includes Vue.js, Nuxt 3, PHP/Laravel and AWS, and we use AI tools in our daily work.

• Build these interfaces yourself in Vue.js and Nuxt 3.

• Own and develop our design system and component library, with consistent, accessible components and clear interface copy.

• Make sure our platform looks and works well for every partner network using it under their own brand.

• Use AI tools to prototype and build faster, without compromising on quality.

What you bring

• At least 2 years of experience in product or UX design, with a strong eye for interaction and visual design.

• Flexible working hours and a hybrid setup with home office and our office in Vienna's 1st district.

• New hardware and modern, AI-assisted tooling.

• A friendly startup culture, regular events and a supportive team.

• Access to a large ecosystem of investors, angel networks and founders across Europe.
