UI/UX Product Designer to $400

About us:

We’re a small, remote-first startup building an AI-first ATS and recruiting product for SMBs. We move fast, value ownership and practical thinking, and need someone who can own the entire design function - from research and strategy to UI, prototyping and a living design system.

The role (short):

Part-time Product UI/UX Designer who can lead product design end-to-end. You’ll work closely with founders and engineers to shape and ship user-focused flows for web and mobile, build/maintain our component library (we use Metronic / Bootstrap as design master), run research and tests, and gradually scale the design function. Start part-time with the option to move to full-time as we grow.

What you’ll do:
 

• Own product design across the user journey: wireframes, high-fidelity UI, interactive prototypes.
• Lead product research and strategy: user interviews, usability testing, and translating insights into product decisions.
• Build and maintain a component-driven design system in Figma aligned with Metronic/Bootstrap.
• Collaborate directly with product, engineering and data to define features and deliverables.
• Iterate quickly: validate ideas, measure impact, and continuously improve UX.
• Occasionally produce other design assets (e.g., simple print or marketing material).

• Work independently, propose improvements, and take clear ownership of outcomes.

   

Must-have skills
 

• Strong Figma skills and experience creating component-driven systems.
• Proven experience designing for web and mobile products (UI + UX).
• Prototyping and usability testing experience.
• Comfortable with product ownership: shaping requirements, presenting design decisions, and working with engineers.

• Self-starter mindset — you take initiative and improve processes.

   

Nice-to-have
 

• Experience with recruiting / HR software or ATS products.
• Background working with AI-driven products.
• Familiarity with Bootstrap/Metronic workflows or working with a design system that mirrors a component library.

Logistics
 

• Part-time (flexible hours)
• Remote-first; Possibility of relocation to Cyprus at a later stage.
• Start: flexible / by agreement.

• Contract: part-time contractor or employee (to be discussed). Option to transition to full-time as we scale.

   

Application process

• Send CV + portfolio (please include at least 1–2 case studies that show your process: problem → approach → outcome). Figma links preferred.
• Selected candidates will receive a (paid) design task - we compensate for the test task.

• Typical process: CV review → interview(s) → paid take‑home task → final interview → offer.

   

Why join us

• High ownership: you’ll be the primary designer shaping product and brand.
• Work directly with founders and engineers and see the impact of your work quickly.
• Opportunity to grow into a full-time role and scale the design team.
• Flexible, startup environment with autonomy and trust.
