Product Designer

We're looking for a designer to help us elevate our software products further.

Who We Are

CAKE.com is a unicorn product-based company with a global presence in North America (USA), Europe (primarily in the Balkans), and Asia (Philippines).

We build products that power millions worldwide, including:

• Clockify – The world’s #1 time tracker, trusted by companies like Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, American Express, Amazon and many more.
• Pumble – The all-in-one team communication app.
• Plaky – A task management software for simple & visual project planning.

What You’ll Do

Design and improve interfaces that just make sense to our users. You’ll jump into problems with cross-functional teammates across the whole spectrum—one day tweaking a confusing error screen to make it friendlier, the next helping create a new massive cross-product feature from start to finish.

• Build wireframes and prototypes in Figma or an agentic IDE to test ideas with stakeholders and show engineers what the final experience should look like.
• Dig into how competitors solve tricky flows, and use those insights to make our own products better.
• Keep our design system healthy and up to date, manage tokens, organize components, and add new patterns as we further develop our platform.
• Make accessibility a natural part of your workflow, ensuring what we ship works well for everyone (meeting WCAG 2.1 AA).
• Have a sharp eye for visual bugs and UX rough edges, and jump in to help smooth them out.
• Turn messy product briefs into clean, intuitive designs that solve real user problems without overcomplicating things.
• Own the visual identity of our products, making sure every screen feels cohesive, polished, and aesthetically pleasing.
• Team up closely with product managers and engineers to turn ideas into shipped software.
• Work with engineering directly on making sure the dev library and design systems are synced.

Must-Haves

• 1+ years designing software products.
• High proficiency using Figma.
• Experience with AI models and agentic workflows (Claude, Kiro, or similar).
• Strong copywriting skills.
