Job Description
๐ฌ Fluyo is a startup looking for a legendary UX designer who will transform our well designed & fun language learning app into an incredibly well designed & even more fun app! Someone who through data/research, good intuition and design taste will level up our product userโs experience to the maximum level.
Our mission at Fluyo is to make the world speak another language by making language learning truly fun. We combine the most effective language education with all the fun of a video game.
๐งโ๐ซ Industry: Language Learning
๐งโ๐ป Seniority: Mid/Senior (you will be the primary UX/UI designer in our team)
๐ข Company Size: 5 to 10 employees
๐ฐ Salary: โฌ40k-55k EUR / $45k-60k USD per year
๐ Equity: 0.1 - 0.25%
Perks
-โฑ Flexible working hours (work whenever you want, but be available to chat during core hours: 8-11am EST / 2-5pm CET)
- ๐ 100% Remote working (our team is based in 7 different countries worldwide)
- ๐ฐ Funded on Kickstarter (highest funded app in Kickstarter history!)
- ๐ Make a real difference (we are publicly launching in several months, so this is a really exciting time to join!)
- ๐๏ธ Unlimited vacation time: You are in charge of deciding when to work.
- ๐ฃ Be an early team member + equity (as the company grows, your role will grow, and so will all the rewards!)
- ๐ A chilled out team (we work hard, but we do not micromanage at all)
Essential Skills Required
- 3+ years of UX experience, high level proficiency with Adobe XD / Figma, and an elegant & modern portfolio
- Experience in game design or extensive gaming experience (the majority of Fluyo is either a game or very gamified, we need someone who is familiar with common gaming mechanics)
- Your files, components, prototypes and designs are highly organized
- You love learning new languages and have used various language learning apps
- You love talking to customers/users to get product feedback and can turn this feedback into designs
- You possess a strong intuition for what you believe users would like based on your own experience (not solely relying on research & data)
- You absolutely love UX, and constantly think about how your designs will affect user happiness and success
- You enjoy working closely with developers to ensure your designs are implemented correctly
The Role
You will be the main product designer in the team, and will be responsible for taking our current (slightly messy) XD file and transforming it into a professional, modern UI kit & design. You will then be responsible for collecting and analyzing user feedback from our app, to determine what features users want added or improved, and then you will determine their feasibility and turn them into prototypes (and then full designs).
You will be responsible for anything that users interact with (and how they exactly interact with) on the app. We want someone who is bright, hard working and has a great user experience and visual design taste. We want someone who can take charge over our product and envision all the potential ways our productโs user experience can be improved, design said improvements and work with our developers to ensure your designs are matched and do QA. Please add the word โGoldshireโ to your application so we know you read this post completely. Ultimately, the goal of this role is to help make our app an absolute joy for our customers to use.
Essentially, we need someone who is a professional and talented designer, but also someone who cares deeply about products and customers, and is always thinking about how to make our product more useful/enjoyable.
This is a full time requirement (approx. 7 hours per day) for 1 designer. Please no agencies. We want someone who can commit to our team and focus exclusively on this. We are not looking for a freelancer who has multiple projects on at the same time.
Our Company
We're a language learning app that will completely change the way people learn languages. We're making a language learning app that is truly fun and addictive. Itโs not simply โa gamified appโ, itโs an actual game. A game that has been designed from the ground up to also be the most effective language learning system thatโs ever existed. Other apps can be effective, but often are not truly fun and are very difficult to use consistently. Hence users rely on forcing themselves to use them.
In contrast, our app inspires excitement, acts as a platform for learners to make friends, is extremely fun, easy to use consistently and therefore makes oneโs language learning journey so much better. We just became the most funded app on Kickstarter ever, and you can see our campaign and learn more about our product here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/550782470/fluyo
