A varied bunch of “Citizens of The World” with a wide range of skills and hundreds of thousands of kilometers under our travel belts.

It’s part of our DNA and embedded in every discussion. This gives you, as a Product Designer, the opportunity to make full use of your skills and craft your designs to perfection. Our relatively small team consists of like-minded design enthusiasts who can geek out over the nitty-gritty details–corner radius, shadows, colors–for hours. We are big on collaboration, challenge each other, and make meetings as fun as they are productive. We dream big, move fast and welcome ideas, from anyone.

Proactively ask for and share feedback to keep our product smooth, consistent, and awesome. * Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to ensure your designs are well-specced and built as intended, down to the last pixel and color. THE EQUIPMENT IN YOUR BACKPACK What we’re hoping you’ll bring with you. ✅ Being a seasoned professional with 5+ years of experience designing lovable products; ✅ A strong portfolio, with shipped designs, that demonstrates end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design; ✅ Experience designing for native mobile apps; ✅ Hands-on experience with user insights and testing, like A/B tests and usability studies; ✅ A proactive mindset, with a passion for getting involved in the entire product development process, thinking and problem-solving like a product manager; ✅ Fluency in modern design tools such as Figma/Sketch or similar; ✅ Experience in prototyping tools such as Principle/Protopie or similar; ✅ Skills in partnering with engineers to drive QA processes and uphold implementation fidelity. 1ST CLASS EXTRAS Some cool things to make the journey extra sweet. * A yearly free flight or train ride to a random location! Give our Teleporter a spin here. * A shiny new MacBook to work your magic on. * Hybrid working, our way. Work from home and the office, we ask everyone to be in the office 2 days a week. It’s how we stay flexible, focused, and meaningfully connected in person. * An extensive home office set-up, everything from noise-canceling headphones to a standing desk. * 30 days of vacation (for adventures or sitting on the couch, it's up to you) * Two paid Culture Days for days that are important to you but not recognized by the official Dutch calendar. * The option to switch up your Zoom background by working from another country for up to 8 weeks a year. * A personal development budget for that curious mind of yours! * A pension plan to help you save for those around-the-world retirement trips. * Delicious daily team lunches. * Awesome monthly parties, as well as team trips away. * A lively office in downtown Amsterdam, with travel costs reimbursed. * Free Polarsteps Travel Books to contain all your far-flung adventures.
