Contract Description

“Design provides the visual start of a discussion and the finalized summary of consensus.”

If you agree with this statement, there’s a big chance we should work together.

Job Description

  • Design a variety of projects – from investment platforms and healthcare startups to AR games for teenagers.
  • Deliver elegant and simple solutions to problems worth solving – we work data-driven, whether it’s quantitative or qualitative.
  • Participate in the design of projects from initial hypotheses, through ideation and rapid prototyping, to interaction design at a production level and testing.
  • Rapid prototyping, with the ability to quickly create interactive app mockups.
  • Close collaboration with the rest of the design team, developers, business analysts, and the client’s team – we work with clients as partners.
  • Work within various methodologies and processes – sometimes we innovate using Design Sprints, sometimes we sprint within agile development, and other times we explore the unknown with Design Thinking.
  • Influence the entire product or service through well-executed and clearly communicated work, impacting the development of mobile applications.

What You Bring to the Table

  • Proven knowledge of the entire product design process (from hypotheses, through journey maps, ideation to interaction design and user testing).
  • Strong foundation in visual design, user experience, UI design, and/or interactions.
  • Understanding of the specific design requirements for iOS, Android, and web.
  • Ability to balance best practices with a passion for experimentation and discovering new methods and solutions.
  • Capability to think in terms of flows and hypotheses, rather than a list of screens.
  • Ability to maintain distance from your own work, quickly validate ideas (and discard the bad ones), and a “trial and error” mindset.
  • Good communication skills, with proficiency in English.
  • Passion for the field, various forms of design, and new technologies – we welcome fresh perspectives and opinions.
  • Curiosity, humility, and a passion for delivering world-class work.

In Return

  • Work in a team united by a common goal – to create great products – even though we come from different countries and backgrounds.
  • The opportunity to influence our clients' businesses as well as our own – you will be part of a new design team.
  • Offices in the heart of Prague, Amsterdam, and London – with potential for relocation (short-term or long-term) in the future.
  • Our favorite design stack includes Figma, Principle, Framer, After Effects, and Webflow (or HTML/CSS), but familiarity with these is not required – they are just tools, feel free to bring your own favorites.
  • A work Mac.
