What’s in it for you?
Salary: Up to €80,000, stocks, pension
Flexibility: 1 day a week in the Dublin office
Impact: First senior design hire. You will own the design function, define the product experience, and shape how users interact with the platform.
The Opportunity
You’ll be the first senior designer, shaping the product from the ground up. Working closely with the CTO and Co-Founder, you’ll define user flows, build scalable design systems, and create seamless experiences.
If you thrive in startups, love hands-on problem-solving, and want to own the design function, this is for you.
The Culture
A startup environment where everyone gets involved, moves fast and figures things out together. It’s upbeat, collaborative, and hands-on - perfect for someone who enjoys learning as they go, solving complex design problems, and working closely with cross-functional teams. If you want ownership, impact, and the chance to shape how design works in a scaling business, you’ll thrive here.
What They’re Looking For
* 5+ years of UX/UI or Product Design experience, ideally in a startup.
* A strong portfolio showing end-to-end design, research, wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes, and final product execution.
* Hands-on experience building design systems and maintaining consistency across a product suite.
* Someone who loves getting into the details, working through complex design challenges, and iterating fast.
* Experience working closely with engineers and product managers to shape features, not just execute designs.
* Comfortable conducting user research, usability testing, and using data to inform design decisions.
* Proficiency in Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar tools.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Owning and leading the design function, defining how UX and UI fit into the product strategy.
* Creating wireframes, prototypes, and final UI designs that make complex interactions feel effortless.
* Developing and maintaining a scalable design system, ensuring brand and UX consistency.
* Getting deep into the weeds of design challenges, from interaction details to big-picture user flows.
* Collaborating closely with product and engineering to shape and refine features based on user needs.
* Conducting user research and usability testing, ensuring data-backed design decisions.
Working Arrangements
* Hybrid – 1 day a week in the Dublin office.
