Senior UI/UX Designer
Equal parts creative agency, engineering firm, and consultancy, Grappus has a reputation of doing things differently. We work with brands big and small, far and wide, helping them understand, prototype and deploy a broad range of custom tech. We value design and we cringe at bad UX. Each project is a clean slate, we don’t have frameworks, or any pre-made formulas. We’re not here to just grow big, make money and win awards. We’re here to crack the process of building truly innovative products from scratch. Products that make people say ‘damn’.
People at Grappus usually experience a highly accelerated career growth well beyond the narrow constraints of their ‘job description’. Here, the growth ladder is tailored to you. It operates exactly as fast as you can manage to grow. We think it's a waste when smart people are unable to make an impact. Our aim is to unleash your potential by giving you massive challenges and the freedom to solve them.
We’re in a fluid world, where we don’t know what technologies we’ll use next, or the projects we’ll work on. We’re actively searching for ways to shine a light on our blind spots, whether it is in the products we want to build, the problems we like to solve, or the company culture we try to create. That’s what makes life at Grappus so exciting. Grappus is an ongoing experiment and you are a part of it. We'll be a different company a few years from now because you are going to change it for the better. We can’t wait to see where you take us
We are seeking a UI/UX Designer who has a knack for coming up with creative solutions to unique problems. You should have good time management skills and be able to work both autonomously and collaboratively with a cross-discipline team of product managers, strategists, UX designers, art directors, and developers. Most importantly, you have an eye for detail and the ability to make beautiful designs.
- You’re a seriously good designer. (But you’re not an asshole about it.) You’ve got a bit of experience & you always want to get better.
- You know all about design, the tools to make design and technology your designs are built on, but you get that design is really about people.
- You like people. You are good at working with the rest of us, whether it’s designers, developers, producers, clients, the people who clean our office, or the ones bringing our lunch.
- You’re a magician. You listen to our clients and work with them to magically create the very thing that somehow makes their wishes come true.
- You’re the punk who shows up on time. You’re organized. You make things happen. You make sure your project stays on budget. And you take deadlines very, very seriously.
- You have opinions. And you can articulate them. (And you’re not afraid to tell our CEO when he’s saying something that doesn’t make any sense)
- 2+ years of experience acting in a creative role and at least 1 year working in a creative agency environment
- An exceptional portfolio of shipped products, containing examples of highly usable and beautiful software that solves problems you can effectively articulate
- Read Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines or Google’s Material Guidelines thoroughly enough to spot when something’s out of place, and when to break the mould
- Strong abilities with Sketch, Illustrator, Photoshop and Principle
- Deep knowledge of modern iOS, Android, Web, and OS X interface conventions
- Exceptionally detailed with excellent oral and visual communication skills, and is comfortable in client-facing situations, primarily when presenting your own or others’ creative work
- Likes to play with motion and inject alternative creative solutions to solve problems
- Strong organizational skills to juggle multiple tasks within the constraints of timelines
- Team player (those great personality types that people love to work with)
- Great communication skills
- We have no fixed work timings or leave policy, you can take unlimited leaves and start your day whenever you want. (Just make sure others in your team don’t suffer)
- We don’t track these hours you put in or ask you to fill time sheets. We don’t believe in micromanaging, if you’re struggling, ask for help. If someone else is, offer some support.
- We never mind if people make mistakes or screw up in any way, and offer full encouragement to help people learn fast by failing fast.
- We always encourage people to be completely candid, raise alarms, or log complaints anonymously in our feedback tool, no matter how harsh.
- We are a ‘Work from Anywhere’ company, since passionate, driven people can work from anywhere they want; their homes, or cafes, or mountains, or beaches, anywhere.
- We have a 15-day notice period. We want to build a place where people work willingly and passionately.
