We are Tapptitude – a Product Studio that partners with funded startups and established brands to build interactive, mobile-first products that people love to use. We are a team of over 70 product experts who work with our clients as Product Partners, supporting them proactively throughout the journey from idea to launching a product and scaling it up.
We are now looking for a part-time Product Designer joining our squad for at least 2-3 months (with the possibility to extend the period afterwards).
Job summary
Tapptitude is on the hunt for a part-time UX/UI Designer who can groove through wireframes and interfaces like a pro. If you’ve got a knack for blending user needs with aesthetic brilliance and can keep the user experience as smooth as a well-tuned bassline, you might just be the design maestro we’re looking for. Must have a portfolio that sings, a passion for pixel perfection, and the ability to sway with changing project rhythms. You'll be client-facing, so you'll be having an impact in the products you build.
Bonus points if you can appreciate some Thai funk vibes, as our Product Design Lead swears by Khruangbin as background music during working hours.
You'd handle the preparation and delivery of exceptional UX/UI designs. Co-lead and participate in design workshops to inspire innovation and define products. Engage in client calls to understand and implement their vision. Contribute creatively to design projects, ensuring a high standard of aesthetic and functional quality. This job is partly remote, requiring at least 6 days/month in the office (or when we gather around for a drink). If you’re ready to make some digital magic happen, send your resume and let's chat.
The human:
- You can be creative in finding solutions, while taking into account the scope and constraints of the project you’re working on
- You are a fun & strong team player with a ‘can-do’ attitude
- You’re independent, work well on your own and deliver consistently
- You’re open to always learning about new industries, new audiences, new products and new technology and how these can enrich your design process
- You're familiar with the start-ups and scale-ups setup
The skills:
- At least 2-3 years of experience in interface design, mobile or web products
- Experience with Agile teams & practices is a must
- You are familiar with Design Thinking approaches
- You’ve participated your fair bit in doing desk research, defining personas, user interviews and wireframes.
- You can lead a product from idea to prototype, to final UI and development hand-off
- You’re comfortable taking the lead in having conversations with the product owner and can relate to their insights and needs
- You can explain your design choices based on arguments and research, moving a feedback conversation beyond ‘I don’t like this’.
- You know your tools of trade: Figma is a must (Illustrator, Photoshop, and the occasional Keynote are a huge bonus)
- You have solid written and spoken English proficiency (we sure hope so, you made it this far!)
- You have a portfolio you can share!
