You will be our first dedicated UX/UI expert and a bit of a design
generalist. Reporting directly to our head of technology, your
enthusiasm and talent for making things beautiful across the board will
always keep everything fresh and usable! Are your ready to own this
challenge and craft the future of design at Safened?
While we are innovating banking solutions, your mission is to make
sure that the design and usability of our products are at max for any
user. In practice, this means:
• You work with our product owners and developers to guarantee a seamless user experience in mobile, web, and internal portals
• You present, explain, and defend your design decisions internally
• You think creatively and evidence-based to identify issues that users might run in to - and recommend solutions
• You get to experiment with new tech and ideas, tooling is free for you to choose
• You truly own your tasks and are able to self-manage, adapt to
changing requirements, and to think strategically about where our design
is going
As we are growing and expanding, we want the look and functionality
of our products and online presence to grow accordingly. This means
there are plenty of opportunities for you to rethink, redesign, and
freshen up what is currently there. Your expertise for what works well
and looks good will guarantee that the quality of our services is felt
by any type of user: No matter if it's our clients, our client's
customers, or future clients trying our demos; no matter if mobile, web,
or portals.
