We’re looking for a UI-heavy product designer with exceptional visual taste and front-end fluency for a new product.
This designer will be responsible for visual direction, typography, components, states, motion, accessibility, and overall feel of this mostly-web app. You’ll be making clickable prototypes. You’ll be working closely with our senior coder (Nima) and founder (John).
You’ll be making art assets yourself. You’re not overseeing a separate artist. You’re the artist.
If you’re that person, you'll probably have experience shipping apps built around React or similar frameworks, and ideally some experience with SwiftUI. You’ve made beautiful things on the web, and likely in apps as well. If you have experience in print, that’s a bonus.
By far the most important requirement is taste.
We need someone who can imagine and implement designs that look and feel great.
Our company makes Highland Pro and Weekend Read. They’re good examples of our design aesthetic. If you hate them, you won’t enjoy working here. If you mostly dig them but have smart suggestions for making them even more delightful, you might be a perfect fit.
We're based in Los Angeles, but most of the work is remote. We have two weekly meetings on Zoom and constant contact through Slack. While it would be great to see you sometimes in person, we’d be up for a designer who is fully remote.
We use Notion a ton. To date, we have not been using Figma for design stuff, but we're open to it if it makes sense.
We share screens a lot. We discuss and iterate.
