Descrição da oferta de emprego

About the Role

• Team has two current designers — both very strong in execution (Figma, component systems, detail work).
• The new hire would need strong senior craft and design thinking skills across mobile and web.
• Reports directly to Oisin.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the full design process end-to-end — from understanding ambiguous problems to shipping solutions, without needing the problem framed in advance.
• Partner directly with Oisin and a founding designer as well as wider team on product direction, roadmap priorities, and design philosophy — bring a point of view and defend it.
• Drive consumer experience design: onboarding, social/viral loops, retention, growth surfaces.
• Work in a PLG/A/B testing environment — ship features, measure impact, iterate fast.
• Eventually help shape the broader design team alongside founding designer (~3 total planned).

What You'll Bring

• Strong product thinking — takes a vague brief and frames + solves the problem independently. Shows "why" before "how".
• Consumer product background — has designed for B2C audiences at scale.
• Opinions and backbone — has a design philosophy, can defend it under pushback, willing to disagree with a founder.
• Chemistry and personality — interesting hobbies, curiosity, authenticity.
• Ownership mindset — end-to-end, from problem definition to shipped solution.
• Comfortable with experimentation, A/B testing, data-led iteration.
• Early-stage or founding designer experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience with social/viral product mechanics.
• Background at companies like Spotify, Strava, Notion, Monzo, or similar consumer PLG products.
• Some craft/taste for visual design (not just process).
• Hobbies: Enjoys the outdoors, sports, or some other physical activity.

Compensation & Benefits

• Remote in Europe (preference: Western/continental Europe).
• Portugal/Lisbon relocation sponsorship possible.
• Salary: no fixed budget, flexible.
• Stock options: yes.
• Contract type: full-time employment, independent contractor.
