Senior UIUX designer

Company Description

next-generation social media platform

We are looking for a senior-level UI/UX professional who can take ownership of usability, interaction quality, and design systems — not just designing screens, but actively improving the product across its entire lifecycle, including post-launch iteration.

This is a remote-first role, open to experienced professionals based in India who are interested in meaningful, ongoing collaboration on a real production product.

About the Role

This role is for a senior UI/UX designer with real product experience who can work independently and think at a product level. You will collaborate directly with the product owner and development team, contributing not only design execution, but also UX decisions, usability improvements, and system-level thinking. This is not a junior role and not a task-only execution position.

⸻

Responsibilities

 • Conduct and analyze usability testing for a mobile application

 • Design, refine, and document UI/UX interactions and transitions

 • Own, build, and evolve the design system

(colors, typography, spacing, reusable components)

 • Improve UI/UX quality based on real user feedback after launch

 • Maintain clean, structured, production-ready Figma files

 • Support smooth developer handoff with clear documentation

 • Design App Store screenshots and product visuals when needed

 • Contribute to landing page UI/UX aligned with the product brand

⸻

Required Experience

 • Strong hands-on experience using Figma on production-level products

 • Experience designing mobile app UI with complex interactions

 • Proven experience creating or maintaining design systems

 • Ability to identify usability issues and propose practical solutions

 • Clear and logical communication of design decisions

 • Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of outcomes

❗ This role is not suitable for beginners or junior designers.

⸻

Nice to Have

 • Experience improving UX after product launch

 • Understanding of frontend implementation constraints

 • Experience working closely with engineers or product owners

 • Startup or fast-paced product development experience

⸻

Meetings & Collaboration

 • Sync meetings take place approximately three times per week

 • Meetings are scheduled during the evening to night hours in India,

aligned with early morning hours in San Francisco (around 7–8 AM PT)

 • Sessions are kept focused, efficient, and decision-oriented

 • Meetings are primarily used for:

 • UX and product decisions

 • Design reviews and alignment

 • Iteration planning and prioritization

 • Schedules are agreed in advance and designed to be respectful of time zones and sustainable for both sides

⸻

Compensation

 • Compensation is outcome-based and responsibility-based, not hourly

 • Scope, expectations, and ownership are clearly defined before each phase

 • The structure is designed to be attractive for experienced freelancers and side-project professionals

 • As a full-time equivalent reference, the compensation level is around USD 2,500 per month

 • Actual compensation is calculated proportionally from this reference, based on:

 • Scope of work

 • Level of involvement

 • Ownership and responsibility

 • This allows for flexible engagement, including part-time or side-project arrangements

 • Compensation terms are reviewed and adjusted as responsibilities expand or collaboration continues

We value outcomes, clarity, and accountability over time spent.

Project Scope

This project may include:

 • Usability evaluation and UX improvements

 • Core flow and interaction design

 • Design system setup or refinement

 • UI improvements across key product screens

 • App Store visual assets

 • Landing page UI/UX design

Typical project cycles run 3–5 weeks, with clear milestones and review checkpoints.

⸻

Trial Task

 • A short Figma-based trial task may be requested to confirm mutual fit

 • The goal is to align on quality, thinking process, and collaboration style

⸻

Who This Role Is For

 • Senior UI/UX designers or design-oriented frontend professionals

 • Freelancers or professionals seeking a high-quality side engagement

 • Designers who care about usability, systems, and real product impact

 • Professionals comfortable collaborating remotely with a US-based product owner

 • Designers interested in ongoing involvement, not one-off tasks

⸻

Why This Role Is Different

 • A real, live production product (not portfolio or practice work)

 • Strong emphasis on usability and system-level design

 • Direct collaboration with the product owner

 • Clear expectations and structured decision-making

 • Opportunity to grow into a long-term design partner as the product scales

⸻

Optional (Recommended for Senior Candidates)

We are especially interested in candidates who have previously owned UI/UX decisions for live products after launch.
