Job description

Department: Design Team: Head of Design & a team of UI/UX Designers Location: Remote, Ukraine Employment Type: Full-time

Why join Eleken?

At Eleken, designers are trusted to own their work and make meaningful product decisions. You'll collaborate directly with clients, work on diverse SaaS products, and be part of a team that values initiative, curiosity, and high-quality design.

Who we are?

Eleken was founded to improve the design services of SaaS companies. We focus on delivering high-quality, user-centered designs that help businesses scale and succeed. Unlike traditional agencies, we work on a subscription-based model, providing dedicated design teams that seamlessly integrate into our clients’ workflows.

Please note: This position is part of our ongoing talent pipeline. We regularly meet designers who may be a strong fit for upcoming client projects. While we review candidates continuously, the start date depends on project availability. Our goal is to ensure that each designer joins a project where their skills, interests, and experience can have the greatest impact.

What we expect from your skills & knowledge:

• Experience designing SaaS products (web and mobile applications) with understanding of business context — you know why the product exists and who it serves
• Product thinking mindset — you can connect design decisions to user needs and business goals, participate in discovery, and contribute beyond the screen
• Strong command of design principles, typography, composition, and interaction patterns — and the ability to frame a problem before jumping to solutions
• Experience building and working within design systems
• Confident in Figma as your primary tool and use AI as part of how you design — for research, synthesis, and prototyping
• Direct experience communicating with English-speaking clients (founders, PMs, technical stakeholders) — Clear written and spoken English | B2+
• You can present and explain your design decisions, give and take feedback constructively, and ask the right questions early at kickoff to keep the work aligned
• Ability to independently drive the design process, proactively identify risks, and make informed design decisions.
• Soft skills — Emotional intelligence, self-direction, and a sense of humor

Will be a plus

• Familiarity with front-end concepts / design frameworks

Main tasks:

• Own product design end-to-end for your clients — from discovery and problem definition to polished UI and developer handoff.
• Collaborate directly with clients to understand business goals, user needs, and priorities.
• Facilitate product discovery activities, create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-quality designs.
• Present, explain, and defend design decisions while incorporating feedback from clients and teammates.
• Contribute to and evolve design systems to ensure consistency and scalability.
• Validate solutions, iterate based on feedback, and continuously improve the user experience.
• Prepare production-ready designs and provide developers with clear specifications and documentation.

For you:

• Salary: discussed individually and depends on your experience and skills
• Flexible working hours
• Paid vacations and sick leaves
• Fully remote
• Co-working space compensation
• Finance Support (we take care of accounting for you)
• Employee referral bonus
• Internal Educational activities (Eleken Talks, Design Feedback, Lectures from the team members)
• Reading Club and corporate library
