Senior Product (UX/UI) Designer - (6+ Years of Experience)

At Scispace, we're using language models to automate and streamline research workflows from start to finish. And the best part? We're already making waves in the industry, with a whopping 1.2 million users on board as of January 2023! We're growing by more than 50% every month, all thanks to our awesome users spreading the word (see it yourself on Twitter). And with almost weekly feature launches since our inception, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Our team of experts in design, front-end, full-stack engineering, and machine learning is already in place, but we're always on the lookout for new talent to help us take things to the next level. Our user base is super engaged and always eager to provide feedback, making Scispace one of the most advanced applications of language models out there.

We are looking for a Generalist Product Designer(UX/UI). Someone who has the desire to build high quality interfaces- fast. Hard problems and vague requirements do not bother you- but shipping mediocre work does. A detail-oriented person with a cool head, you want to be thorough and reliable because you understand how high growth startups work. So, that’s all from the heart – here it is from the head:

What you’ll do:

• Work with product management, growth, engineering, and other teams in the company to understand the business goals and user needs in order to create great design solutions that drive the company forward.
• Discuss and present your design ideas, solutions, or prototype concepts with your cross-functional peers.
• Build extensible and delightful high-quality interfaces by being practical and sensitive to the underlying technology.
• Take full ownership to ensure the quality and integrity of design throughout the development cycle.
• Stay on top of design and technology trends to inform and inspire modern interaction design.
• Collaborate with founders and the marketing team to define and set a direction for the visual language of the product.
• Give and solicit feedback from peers to continually set high standards and raise our bar for quality.

Qualifications

• A degree in HCI, interaction design, or other relevant fields or at least 2+ years of experience in working with digital product teams that were hell-bent on either research-based or data-driven decision-making to build great products for their users.
• Understanding of LLM's
• A portfolio that demonstrates high-quality skills and expertise.
• Solid fundamentals on user-centered design principles and human psychology.
• Curiosity to research, passion to dive deeper into any problem statement, and a strong capability to unearth the pain points and challenges surrounding the product space.
• Excellent visual design skills and a fastidious eye for detail around typography, iconography, visual hierarchy, and layouts.
• Quick and effective prototyping skills.
• Ability to articulate and advocate design ideas clearly using simple terms in both writing and verbal communication. We don’t like flexing with jargon or acronyms.
• Knowledgeable in designing coherent experiences across different digital devices: desktop, web, mobile (Android, iOS), and tablets.
• Expertise in using design tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe Creative Suite. Knowledge in motion graphic design or video production is a plus.

Company Culture

In the words of one of the employees:

• Tons of independence
• Mission led company which drives everything that we do
• Great environment, great colleagues and we are well looked after
• Fast-paced and constantly changing with an ambition to always do better.
• Flexible hours
• High impact projects and highly talented co-workers
