Description

If you’re a UI designer interested in being part of a constantly evolving team, with the freedom to travel and work remotely, keep reading.

Melewi is building a team of kickass designers to be based anywhere on the globe (timezones GMT +6 to GMT +12).

We work with exciting startups from around the world and also with international brands like Heineken, Samsung and McDonald’s.

We’ll have fun, learn as we go, and create some damn amazing work! This is your opportunity to learn, create, and work towards your big goals, whatever they may be. We give a lot of trust to the right people, and that means you’ll find yourself often in the driver’s seat, helping us steer the company towards greatness.

What does working with us look like?

  • We’re agile & always learning? — We toss what doesn’t work and improve what does. We believe that there is no ‘best’, only ‘better’.
  • We’re flat?—?Communication is open between everyone regardless of position, gender, age or nationality; suggestions for improvement are open to all.
  • We’re ambitious & proactive? — We’ve got big dreams, and we work hard and fast (and yes, we break things) to achieve it. Taking initiative is the standard. The business is in everyone’s hands, not just a select few.
  • We’re flexible? — While we don’t compromise on the important things (work, culture, attitude, progress), we leave the less important things up to you (like where you want to work from, what you wear, and what times you want to work (with some stipulations)).
  • We’re in this together and most of all, we’re fun!? — We’re aligned in our values, vision and goals and work together as a family. Work takes up too much of your life to not enjoy what you do. While we take our work seriously, lots of laughing can be expected too.

    What does the right person look like?

    You’ll have prior working experience in UI for products (webapps / mobile apps), as well as the need to be constantly learning and growing. Any basic knowledge of business and / or programming is valuable, and we’re keen to find someone with experience in startups, as well as is familiar with lean & agile working methodologies.

    You’ll be responsible, proactive, innovative, eager to learn, and meticulous. A good sense of humour is a must. And if you’re the type to bring tasty treats to share, we welcome you with open arms!

    What skills and traits are we looking for?

  • A strong background of at least 2 years in UI design
  • A thorough understanding of how to design intuitive digital experiences for websites, web apps, mobile apps (site functionality, interaction, site architecture, user interfaces and navigation).
  • Knows how to execute all visual design stages from concept to final hand-off
  • Must have the ability to articulate and defend design decisions, but appreciate constructive feedback
  • Experienced in how to build an awesome product.
  • Start-up minded.
  • Experienced working with lean and agile methodologies, as well as the ability to adapt to various processes (we’re constantly trying to improve our processes and are open to change, so you’d have to be too!).
  • The ability to work on and lead multiple projects, and also to work closely with the team, clients and contractors.
  • Possesses great presentation and communication skills.
  • Takes initiative, and is a self-starter.
  • An awesome attitude + no ego + team-player (no lone wolves).
  • Constantly learning and sharing knowledge + seeks out & appreciates feedback.
  • Proficiency in design and prototyping tools such as Photoshop, Sketch, Balsamiq, Invision, etc.
  • Start date
