Product Designer (Part-Time)

Join the team at Rapptr Labs!

At Rapptr, we’re dedicated to helping our clients to build and scale successful digital products. Our success as a digital product agency is defined by the depth of these partnerships, the quality of our products, and the level of expertise and product strategy we can bring to businesses of any size – from funded start-ups to established brands.

A culture of care, quality, and determination

It is our mission to provide our team members with a safe working environment and a culture that centers employee wellbeing, collaboration, initiative, hands-on learning, and determination. Who we are is reflected in how we engage with our clients, how we solve day-to-day problems, and how we treat one another on- and offline.

About the Role

Rapptr Labs is looking for a talented product designer to join our growing app design and development agency. As a member of our design team, you’ll work with our clients, designers, product managers, and engineers in an end-to-end ecosystem to craft cutting-edge mobile app and desktop web products.

We are looking for candidates who are thoughtful and collaborative in their approach to problem solving, are great communicators, are open-minded, and who understand that research, feedback, and iteration drive the entire design process. Equally important to the role, ideal candidates will be highly detail-oriented, be consistent in their ability to produce high quality designs, be receptive to feedback from product stakeholders, and will demonstrate complete ownership over their work.

The product designer will be working across a number of mobile app and web projects to develop user experiences, create wireframes, establish design systems and component libraries, develop brand guidelines, create high fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes for user testing, revise designs based on stakeholder feedback, assemble handoff documentation for engineers, and support the company in smaller, day-to-day design requests. Advanced understanding of user-centered design principles, the mobile app domain, and/or user experience/user interface (UX/UI) design are essential.

This is a part-time, remote position. Compensation ranges from $25-$30 per hour. Please provide a link to your portfolio with your application.

• Initiate communication with team members and advocate for advancing the design practices of the company
• Brainstorm collaboratively at a high level and efficiently translate big ideas into practical, detail-oriented designs
• Actively engage with clients in sculpting product experiences that position their companies for success
