Job description

We're looking for a designer to help us elevate our software products further.

Who We Are

CAKE.com is a unicorn product-based company with a global presence in North America (USA), Europe (primarily in the Balkans), and Asia (Philippines).

We build products that powers millions worldwide, including:

• Clockify - The world's #1 time tracker, trusted by companies like Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, American Express, Amazon and many more.
• Pumble - The all-in-one team communication app.
• Plaky - A task management software for simple & visual project planning.

What You’ll Do

Design and improve interfaces that just make sense to our users. You’ll jump into problems with cross-functional teammates across the whole spectrum - one day tweaking a confusing error screen to make it friendlier, the next helping create a new massive cross-product feature from start to finish.

Build wireframes and prototypes in Figma or an agentic IDE to test ideas with stakeholders and show engineers what the final experience should look like.

Dig into how competitors solve tricky flows, and use those insights to make our own products better.

Keep our design system healthy and up to date, manage tokens, organize components, and add new patterns as we further develop our platform.

Make accessibility a natural part of your workflow, ensuring what we ship works well for everyone (meeting WCAG 2.1 AA).

Have a sharp eye for visual bugs and UX rough edges, and jump in to help smooth them out.

Turn messy product briefs into clean, intuitive designs that solve real user problems without overcomplicating things.

Own the visual identity of our products, making sure every screen feels cohesive, polished, and aesthetically pleasing.

Team up closely with product managers and engineers to turn ideas into shipped software.

Work with engineering directly on making sure the dev library and design systems are synced.
