About the role
- Lead the design of complex, software-style interfaces (e.g., node editors, workflow builders, multi-format editors, drag-and-drop canvases) with a clear focus on usability, visual clarity, and scalability.
- Translate user needs, business goals and technical constraints into intuitive UI/UX flows, wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity designs.
- Work closely with product managers and engineers to define design requirements, refine feature scopes, iterate on prototypes, and ensure design specs are implemented with fidelity.
- Advocate for the user — conduct (or partner with) usability reviews, gather feedback, iterate design.
- Bring a creative industry mindset: understand how creators (artists, video editors, 3D/interactive designers) think, what their workflows are, and design for that context (not just generic SaaS tools).
- Develop, maintain and evolve design systems/components that support rapid iteration while maintaining visual and interaction consistency.
- Collaborate with brand, motion/animation, and visual design teams to ensure the UI reflects a high-quality, craft-oriented aesthetic.
- Ensure responsiveness, accessibility (where applicable), performance constraints and cross-platform consistency are factored into your designs.
- Communicate design rationale clearly to stakeholders and collaborate with engineering during implementation to maintain design integrity.
Requirements
- 5+ years of UX/UI / product design experience — specifically designing **complex software-style** tools (not just marketing sites or simple apps).
- Strong portfolio showing work on high-complexity interfaces: e.g., workflow editors, developer tools, creative tools, multi-pane dashboards, drag-drop UIs.
- Proven ability to design for creative industries (artists, designers, multimedia editors) or tooling used by creative professionals.
- Excellent visual design sensibilities: typography, layout, color, spacing, iconography, motion/interaction.
- Proficiency with design & prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Principle, After Effects) and with handing off to engineering.
- Familiarity with design systems and component-based UI design.
- Strong communication skills — able to articulate design decisions, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and adapt to feedback.
- Self-motivated, comfortable working remotely and in a startup/fast-paced environment with evolving requirements.
- Bonus: Experience designing for AI-powered tools, creative workflows, multi-media (text/image/video/3D) editors or node-based visual interfaces.
