Job description

Freedom should feel beautiful. Too often, systems that protect privacy or resist surveillance are clunky, hostile, or designed only for experts. That is not enough. To win, we must make rebellion effortless.

We seek a UI/UX Designer who can craft interfaces as elegant as they are empowering, a designer who can make radical privacy and local-first computing feel sleek, simple, and joyful.

Your mission is to ensure that freedom feels effortless. Privacy and sovereignty should not be a burden, but a joy. You will design experiences that make powerful tools ; home servers, Private and Local AI, encrypted messaging, local data management ; feel intuitive to the everyday user.

You will transform the philosophy of SP into visual language: menus, icons, flows, and dashboards that communicate clarity and power. You will craft a design system that makes the OS feel unified across all platforms, while keeping it distinctly Parcks — bold, sleek, and details oriented.

This mission is not just about pixels, it is about power. Privacy, sovereignty, and this sweet and fierce sense of freedom cannot remain the domain of specialists; they must be accessible to families, creators, and dreamers. Your work ensures that privacy is not only for hackers, but for families, creators, and anyone who wants control and transparency without compromise.

You will design experiences that hide complexity without diminishing control. Every interaction should empower the user, not confuse or control them.

You will make privacy visible without being overwhelming, ensuring users feel safe without having to think like engineers. Your design language will unify the OS across all platforms, so that it feels like one system.

This mission is more than aesthetics, every pixel is a political choice
