Job description

Evil Martians are looking for a remote Product Designer.

We’re a product development consultancy focused on developer tools and infrastructure startups. Our clients range from Series A/B companies and Y Combinator alumni to large tech companies and enterprises building new products. Evil Martians is an international, fully remote company headquartered in New York. We’ve been working remotely for over 15 years.

Requirements

• A focus on designing complex, professional UIs. We specialize in developer tools and other professional software, so we’ll ask you to show at least two non-consumer products you’ve designed.
• A broad understanding of UX patterns and when to apply them.
• Experience building flexible design systems from scratch, as well as working with existing ones such as shadcn/ui.
• Strong English communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with both clients and developers.
• Ownership mindset. You’re comfortable working independently, managing priorities asynchronously, and figuring out what needs to be done without relying on a predefined backlog.
• Experience using AI tools to prototype, build, and ship ideas quickly.
• Ability to work within European or US business hours with at least a 3-hour overlap with Pacific day time.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with analytics—formulating product hypotheses, setting metrics, and analyzing user behavior to measure outcomes.
• In-depth understanding of AI, beyond just using it.
• Data visualization skills, and familiarity with Edward Tufte’s work.
• Interest in the startup world, with an MVP mindset. Experience launching your own products is a bonus.

What we offer

• Remote-first culture: We’ve been fully remote for over 15 years and know how to collaborate async without micromanagement.
• Radical transparency: Our finances are open to all employees, and we make critical business decisions collectively—everyone gets a say.
• Professional growth: We’ll help you grow your voice and skills by supporting you in giving talks at conferences and writing articles for our blog (often featured in top newsletters or on Hacker News).
• Revenue-sharing model: Every year, we share a portion of the company’s profits with employees.
• Other benefits: Medical insurance, English courses, reimbursements for hardware, educational programs, and materials.

About the Company

• Evil Martians is a product development consultancy for startups building developer tools and complex web products.
• We’re a team of 50+ Martians distributed across the US, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Armenia, Argentina, and Japan.
• Clients are mainly in the US and Europe, including bolt.new, Tines, HTTPie, NATS, and YC alumni that grew into unicorns like Rootly, Teleport, and Podium.
