Digital Product Designer
Belgrade
Join us on the journey of transformation from an IT security and technology-centric to a user-centric company.
We are developing various IT Security solutions from 2002, and now we are working on consumer-facing products. We don’t expect previous knowledge about IT Security, however, we expect strong design skills and passion for making stuff simpler. We don’t expect you to code, but you need to love and understand technology, be part of scaling the Freja eID product and establish the best UX design practices with us.
By Digital Product Designer we mean person who is capable to make the user’s flow look and feel good by using Sketch for User Interface design and Invision prototyping for UX interactions. We have lead designers on our team, so you will get every help you need to work on a daily basis. What we are missing is more of a UX mindset than graphic design skills. So, more UX than UI.
This is our tools set: Sketch, Craft, InVision, Draw.io, Keynote, Confluence, Jira and the Adobe CC package.
Requirements:
- You have a brief understanding of interaction and visual design, design thinking and UX methodologies.
- Our tool set are Sketch and InVision, so we expect that you are familiar with them and we will help you learn the rest.
- You are constantly on top of the latest and greatest news in the industry.
- You have no ego and you are constantly trying to improve your skills. And yes, you see UX design as a team sport.
We’ll consider it an advantage if you:
- Have former experience in product design and collaboration with mobile and web developers.
- Bring additional skills to the table such as illustration, branding capabilities, motion design, making a good coffee, etc.
- Have a portfolio that demonstrates previously shipped interactive live products (by shipped we mean a published app in App Store, for example).
How to apply:
CV: Send us a regular CV on 1-2 pages which will be useful for us just to grasp your general background. Feel free to also send us the information on what you are passionate about, e.g. in Verisec we have snowboarders and skiers, world travellers, pole dancing champions, musicians…
Portfolio: No need to spend 10 days on polishing your ”perfect” portfolio. We just want to see your top ~3 projects that you are proud of, with some description of what you wanted to achieve and what was your role and contribution to it. We are not amazed by the top brands that you’ve worked for, we want to understand you, your approach and your thinking behind the project. It can even be your student project where you made up a new brand. Send us a simple PDF with several pages, as much as you think is appropriate to represent yourself, having in mind that we are busy working because we miss someone like you to join and help us. Include links to your social media accounts (if you have them) like Dribbble, Behance, Instagram, Twitter…
Send your application electronically and a brief explanation about why you think you are a good match for this position, what you liked about this job description, company or products we are working on. Just a few sentences, no need for an essay, with portfolio and CV in the attachment.
WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE:
In your 1st month, you will:
- Build an understanding of Verisec’s products, especially of www.frejaeid.com.
- Get familiar with our design-development process.
- Give feedback and propose solutions to existing features.
- Learn how to contribute to our design system in Sketch and prototype in InVision.
In your 1st year, you will:
- Work together with other designers to build a consistent UI and experience across the whole customer journey.
- Be able to wireframe new screens and user flows on paper, whiteboards, and finally, in a simple tool like Draw.io.
- Be able to create UI designs that can be clickable, high-fidelity prototypes, based on an existing style guide, using tools such as Sketch and InVision.
- Collaborate with the Product team to define and implement innovative solutions for the product direction, visuals and experience.
- Work closely with developers throughout the implementation stage to ensure that the design is implemented as it is in Sketch by doing asset hand-offs and reviewing of quality in the final product.
- Help us shape the design culture at Verisec, that will ultimately define every interaction customers and end users have with our products and services.
After the 1st year, your role will continue to evolve in the direction that is overlapping with the company’s goals and your input where you would like to develop yourself.
PS. If you happen to see this and think that the job would suit someone you know, please feel free to share!
We look forward to receiving your application!
