Read this first: research shows that people of different backgrounds read job postings differently. If you don’t think you meet all of the qualifications but do think you’d be a great match for us, please consider applying and sharing more in your application. We’d love to talk with you to see what skills you can bring to our team. This said, we are most likely to be interested in your candidacy if you can demonstrate the majority of the qualifications listed below:

Strategic mindset and a passion for finding simple, usable solutions to complex problems

Strong UX and visual design competencies and strong understanding of interaction patterns for usable, performant and accessible web and mobile applications

Strong understanding of the end-to-end design process, from identifying needs & pains to delivering coherent user experiences

Systems thinker with the ability to connect the dots in an ecosystem of applications

Strong written & verbal communication skills, ability to present concepts to the team and provide feedback on concepts from peers

Familiarity and comfort with common design and prototyping tools (e.g. Figma, Balsamiq, Excalidraw)

Multiple years of professional experience as a product designer or user experience or design engineer in a team environment.

Our team is fully distributed, so you should be comfortable with remote work. This role is a full-time individual contributor role. While you can be located anywhere that our EOR (Deel) supports, our core hours are 10am to 2pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, with team members choosing either an early start or later stop as suits them.

You should be inspired by our mission to improve the lives of smallholder coffee farmers, and have an interest in sustainability. You should have a deep empathy for users of our tools and understand the importance of supporting the work of other teams. Because operational and business needs can be ambiguous and change on a short time-scale, you should have a love for environments with uncertainty, and enjoy not only solving problems, but discovering and demystifying them.

We are a small team! You should be comfortable working both independently and as a thoughtful collaborator, sensitive to the legibility and maintainability of your code when in the hands of your teammates.
