• Apply information hierarchy, layout, and interaction design to create clear, readable interfaces.
• Identify and articulate visual design issues, extract insights from feedback, and propose design solutions in collaboration with cross-functional partners.
• Support UX research activities by preparing visual assets, participating in studies and applying research findings to visual and interaction details.
• Engage with the open-source community to gather feedback and foster collaboration.
• Support ad hoc projects as required.
  

What you’ll bring:

• 3+ years of professional experience in user interface / visual design or a closely related role, with increasing responsibility and a proven ability to scope and finish projects.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating high-fidelity layouts, UI components, and prototypes for web, desktop, and/or mobile products, with clear design rationale and impact.
• Experience working on multi-platform products and contributing to scalable design systems, component libraries, and style guides.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (e.g. colour contrast, typography, motion) and applying them to create inclusive, usable interfaces.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in design, visual communication, human–computer interaction, or a related field; additional coursework or training in UI, visual, or interaction design is a plus.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience collaborating on a multi-disciplinary, geographically distributed team.
• A strong commitment to collaboration, openness, and respect for diverse perspectives; experience engaging with open-source or other community-driven feedback loops is a plus.
  

Bonus points for:

• Ability to design clear, cohesive icons and icon sets that align with the product’s brand and system.
• Experience creating 2D illustrations (such as empty states and onboarding) to support the interface.
• Experience producing on-brand marketing assets for digital and print, including social graphics, newsletters, and campaign materials.
• Comfort writing or refining short in-product copy to keep interfaces clear and engaging.
• A passion for user research and evidence-based design choices. .
