Full Time

About the Position

We are looking for a talented UI/UX Designer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of user experience principles and a passion for creating beautiful, intuitive products.

You will work closely with developers, project managers, and clients, to design user-centered interfaces and experiences. You will be responsible for creating wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs, ensuring that the user experience is seamless, accessible, and aligned with the project goals.

The ideal candidate will excel at building highly interactive web and mobile applications. We don’t typically build marketing sites (although we sometimes do). We need someone who is able to condense client ideas into simple to use applications.

This is a contract-role to start, 3 months at 20+ hours per week.

Requirements

  • User Research: Conduct user research to understand client requirements, user goals, and pain points in a timely manner.
  • Wireframing & Prototyping: Create low-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes to validate user flows and client desired functionality
  • High-Fidelity Design: Develop visually appealing, responsive designs for web and mobile platforms that align with client expectations and development restraints.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with developers to ensure design consistency and adherence to best practices. Provide assets and design specifications for implementation.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience in UI/UX/product/web design
  • Strong portfolio of work demonstrating ability to design beautiful, highly interactive web/mobile apps
  • Experience with user research, prototyping, wireframing, designing, and testing
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Why You'll Love Working at Uplift

  • Enjoy a healthy work-life balance, like everyone else at the company.
  • Embark on your own self-driven career path with opportunities for positions like tech lead or client-facing roles to drive product features.
  • Work on many different projects and cross-pollinate all the lessons and solutions.
  • Work remotely: avoid the time and energy drain of a commute. Uplift has been remote-first since inception–we’re really good at remote collaboration, and always getting better.
  • Get together in person once a year for a company off-site.
  • Indulge in the freedom to design your own work schedule; whether that includes a four day work week, evening hours, or whatever suits you and your lifestyle, so long as it's clearly communicated.
  • You get access to Paul & Marius, two of the brightest minds in engineering & consulting.
  • Uplift's projects are often greenfield, using exciting technologies and top-of-the-line coding standards. We offer a collaborative environment and shared resources. Our team can tackle larger projects than you'd take on your own.
  • Uplift has no outside investors, and thus no one who can dictate the future of our company or our products. We have ultimate freedom in the projects that we choose.
  • As a member of our team we value your opinion. We also respect the skills you bring to our company.
