Remote Job
This is the ideal role for someone with strong product design acumen who truly loves web design. You get excited about the ability to merge aesthetics, content, UX and IA into beautiful sites... but equally excited about designing systems and diving into the particular product tradeoffs that make software work well.
You'll join a profitable growth-stage startup and work from anywhere, while learning with and from an amazing team. You'll be involved in the end to end design process, from ideation to deployment, and support some of the most respected startups, agencies, and businesses in the world.

Zoomforth is a web design software. So in order to build good design software, we need someone who loves to use such software, someone who loves designing websites. You'll primarily be guiding product and creating mockups, but you'll also be spending time designing sites for clients, and making sure you have an intimate familiarity with the product.
This role would involve working with the Engineering, Customer Success, and Design teams, as well as our customers. In many cases, you'd be leading a team of designers, exercising your creativity, and setting best practices for our work.
