About the role
Jiga is looking for a talented Product Designer who is passionate about creating beautiful, modern UI elements and intuitive, carefully crafted user flows. You will collaborate closely with our CTO and product engineering team to deliver designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Our design focus is on user efficiency: helping users quickly understand what they need to do, reducing manual data entry, and automating administrative processes currently handled through emails and phone calls.
This is a unique opportunity to join as the first product designer and modernize an industry still stuck in early ’90s design and UX standards.
How we work
- Remote: Fully remote company with team members from over 5 countries.
- Culture: No hour counting; performance and communication are the only metrics. We distrust micro‑management and trust team members to be honest and get things done.
- Team activities: Weekly online games, open hard‑question discussions, and an annual off‑site in a beautiful natural setting.
- Meetings: One weekly all‑hands and one weekly dev‑team meeting—no unnecessary meetings.
- Funding: Profitable, fully funded with growing revenue; runway is fully transparent.
Design values
- Easy to understand is better than pretty
- Simple is better than complex
- Done is better than perfect
You should apply if
- You own your tasks and don’t need micro‑management.
- You have extensive experience designing clean, elegant user flows.
- You can translate complex ideas into simple, delightful interfaces.
- You take full ownership of epics and tasks.
- You aren’t afraid to make mistakes and get your hands dirty.
- You have a “get stuff done” attitude and work blazingly fast.
- No task is beneath you.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in Product/UI/UX design.
- Strong portfolio showcasing visually polished UI designs.
- Proven experience working with engineering teams and business stakeholders.
- Experience in a startup environment or as a sole designer.
- Some working‑hour overlap with GMT+3.
Benefits
We don’t have Friday happy hours or a fridge packed with ten flavors of ice cream—because we don’t have an office. Instead we offer:
- Fully flexible, location‑independent, parent‑friendly remote work environment.
- Never‑counting‑hours and zero‑micro‑management policy.
- Internationally diverse, dynamic team with a clear vision and strategy.
- Self‑development budget.
- Generous stock‑options package.
- Annual team off‑sites in beautiful locations.
- Fast‑paced environment with plenty of creative freedom.
- Opportunity to work on a real, challenging problem with an amazing team positioned to win.
