Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Rad Hires connects fast-moving startups with vetted senior offshore and hybrid talent. The client is seeking a senior UX/UI Designer to own both product interface and visual/brand design, beginning with a scoped trial project and potentially leading a full app redesign while collaborating closely with the founder and engineers.
Responsibilities
- Start with a scoped initial project (e.g., a feature-highlight slideshow, or aligning website/app/app-store visuals) to establish working rhythm and fit
- If the trial goes well, lead a full UI/UX pass across the app, page by page
- Incorporate the brand color palette and typography currently being finalized by a separate branding effort
- Collaborate closely with the founder and two engineers who will implement your designs — this is an internal, non-client-facing role
- Work within a small, casual, highly collaborative team of ~3 people, with real input into design decisions, not just execution
Skills
- Strong UX/UI skills; a full "360" skillset (UX/UI + visual/brand) is a plus, not required
- A strong, demonstrable Figma portfolio (Figma is the primary tool; open to whatever else the designer prefers)
- Senior-level experience, ideally with consumer app design; experience valued over formal design education
- Excellent collaborator and communicator — comfortable proposing ideas and receiving feedback, able to explain design decisions in plain terms to a non-designer
- English strong enough for clear, natural back-and-forth conversation with the team — an accent is fine, this isn't client-facing
- Meaningful working-hours overlap with a NYC-based (Eastern Time) team; the team itself keeps flexible hours, not a fixed 9-to-6
- Creative, out-of-the-box thinker
- Genuine enthusiasm for the product, willing to invest long-term rather than treat it as a one-off gig
- An eye for restrained, approachable design over flashy — fits a core user base that's 45+ and not into trend-heavy app UI
- Excited about consumer products, and recommendations/media specifically, is a plus
- Location: Latin America or US (NYC preferred if US-based; in-person a plus, not required)
- Working hours: Eastern Time overlap preferred; flexible schedule
Benefits
- Flexible schedule; the team keeps flexible hours rather than a fixed 9-to-6.
- Remote-friendly; in-person work is a plus but not required.
