Senior UI/UX Designer

Join the team in Berlin

Our product helps people improve. We provide 700 companies worldwide with a feedback platform so their employees can learn from each other and grow professionally. Pinterest, SoundCloud, Twitch and many more use Small Improvements company-wide — from the intern to the CEO.

We’d love to hire an experienced UI/UX designer with a passion for clean design to help us re-imagine major parts of our web application.

Who we are

We’re a team of 20 people on 3 continents and looking to grow. Our product is a feedback platform. Our clients’ staff use it to give and receive feedback about their work, to set goals and objectives and to praise each other for a job well done. (We use it internally too of course.)

What you’ll do

We’re constantly reworking existing functionality and building new features. Join our team of 12 developers & designers as our fifth UI/UX person, and help us make our product truly world class. The job combines two major aspects: Building the right features, and building the features right.

UI aspects:

• Ensure the product looks slick and simple
• Make interactions and flows work like a breeze
• Display the right amount of detail at the right time
• Ensure screens are efficient and self-explanatory
• Make end users rave about our UI to their friends

UX aspects:

• Ensure the product is slick and simple
• Work with PM to gather requirements and personas
• Contribute during planning meetings and define the MVP
• Sketch wireframes, create clickable mockups, or code initial prototypes
• Validate assumptions by conducting user tests
• Guide the frontend-developers

Beyond feature work, you’ll contribute to our styleguide, you’ll stay up to date with broader trends, and you’re available for developers’ ad-hoc questions.

• You balance your desire for perfection with a knack for shipping
• You’re pragmatic and push for the easy improvements first
• You have start-up experience, and ideally SAAS experience too
• You have basic HTML and CSS skills: You can work with existing code and you can prototype in the browser if needed
