Description

We want someone who eats Visual Design for breakfast, UI/UX for lunch and washes it all down with a decent knowledge of front-end development for supper.

Dubizzle (though my not have heard of us) is a movement that started in Dubai 8 years ago. We're a bunch of fearless fun-mongerers that have set out to "Disrupt Consumer Exploitation: and have some fun doing it". This is more than an empty company motto, it's what we all try to live our lives by and helps direct us in every decision we make.

Those decisions don't get made by some corporate dictator, they get made by everyone in the company. They get made by you.

We vehemently believe in empowering every person that comes to work for us, allowing them to control the direction of the company. From the bottom up!

We're the biggest non-global website in the Middle East. We have page views in the billions and users in the many millions. Enough chest beating from us. Here's what we're looking for:

We're after 5 designers who don't stop thinking about design when they leave the office. You can come from anywhere on the planet but you'll need to be up for a move to an amazing city that is Dubai.

  • Create and advance site-wide style guides
  • Storyboard/prototype UX experiences

  • Experience designing for mobile devices

  • Ability to measure pixels by eye from 100 meters
  • Experience in user testing
  • Your favourite colour is in Pantone


  • We're based in great location, in an office that has a very start-up feel but without the start-up growing pains. You'll be working with other designers who live and breath usability and a live a life long quest for beautiful simplicity. You'll be in complete control of all your design work, no senior designers telling you what to do, just offering advice. You'll be backed up by a team of the best developers this side of the Burj Khalifa. All this with a bunch of humour thrown in at every opportunity.
