Senior UX/UI Designer

The Company

We are recruiting a Senior UX/UI Designer on behalf of Nowbase!

Nowbase is an app and web-based social platform where you can diversify your online presence by creating unique feeds for your various interests and communities, which allows your audiences to only follow the content they care about. Feeds on Nowbase can be as public or exclusive as you want - from 100% open to the web, to only accessible to paying subscribers.

Any of your feeds on Nowbase can also be collaborative, meaning you can invite co-hosts to post together. That way, you can all post through your independent profiles to a shared feed on a shared topic, which gives you more discoverability and lets you grow your independent brands together!

The Role

We're looking for a well-rounded Senior UX/UI Designer who is interested in growing their design and code skill set over time, to join a 100% remote team. In this role, you’ll partner closely with engineers to help solve problems and grow products. The successful senior designer in this role will wear many hats, so we’re hoping to see both examples of UX and UI work and examples of front-end engineering in your portfolio.

Nowbase is a fully remote company. This is a remote position available to anyone working within the USA (UTC-3 through UTC-8 time zones).

Salary

The base salary for this position will be up to $144,000, depending on experience.

Requirements

You value design and employ a broad set of design tools using the best for the project.

• You communicate user flows and know which tool to use depending on the scope and phase of the project. You seek out new tools, try them out, and assess whether they are best for the task at hand.
• You demonstrate and articulate an understanding of layout, typography, visual hierarchy, and accessibility in web and mobile interfaces.
• You see code as a design tool. You understand that your design needs to be carried through to the platform that it is designed for. For web applications, this means implementing your designs with HTML & CSS, maintaining a clean markup and style, and working with our Developers in Git. You can examine how these same implementation principles apply to mobile, service design, and experience design.

You pride yourself on being a good teammate.

• You foster a highly collaborative and inclusive design process and workplace.
• You will help to establish best practices and have a hand in creating an inclusive and friendly workplace.

You think strategically.

• You research to gain understanding, conduct user interviews and usability tests, and document ethnographic research or other methods, so you can synthesize well and craft actionable steps from it.
• You take responsibility for the user experience for the products you work on.
• You think iteratively and holistically about how to release design in small pieces and regularly look for opportunities to validate the team’s ideas.

You are a leader.

• You take the initiative to lead rather than waiting for somebody else to.
• You describe yourself as a self-starter and take part in our team goals, lead a group of people through iterative design exercises, and in the design community by writing, participating in online forums and networks, and attending meetups and conferences.

You can contribute to team goals.

• You have experience with facilitating design sprints and building design systems.
• You have an interest in impactful projects in healthcare, education, and social good.

If you don’t fully match all of the requirements above, we would encourage you to apply anyway. We are a collaborative team and are keen to teach and share knowledge.

If you require special accommodations during the interview process please let us know.

As Nowbase grows, it strives to grow in an inclusive way. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are important to us, and we hope to hear from candidates who are keen to contribute to a fair and inclusive environment for us all to work and grow within. If you’ve not had the chance to actively work in an environment that supports this, that’s okay as long as you’re willing to learn and contribute.
