Seeking a UX/UI Designer to lead the end-to-end product design for a first MVP launch (mobile-responsive web) of a B2B/B2C SaaS product.
This is a part-time or project-based role starting as soon as possible, working closely with the founder and developers to get a usable, polished MVP into the market.
Key responsibilities- Translate product vision and requirements into user journeys, flows, and interaction concepts.
- Conduct light-weight user research (interviews, surveys, competitor review) to understand user needs and validate assumptions.
- Deliver high-fidelity UI designs in Figma (or similar) for all MVP screens, states, and edge cases.
- Define a simple design system (colors, typography, components) to ensure consistency and support future iterations.
- Prepare developer-ready handoff: specs, assets, annotations, and support during implementation.
- Run quick usability tests or design reviews to refine the MVP before and right after launch.
- Iterate on designs based on feedback, analytics, and product learnings after initial release.
- 3+ years of experience in UX/UI or Product Design.
- Strong portfolio showing end-to-end product design.
- Proficiency with Figma (preferred) or equivalent tools for wireframing, prototyping, and design systems.
- Experience collaborating directly with founders, product managers, and engineers in lean or startup environments.
- Comfortable working independently, scoping down to an effective MVP, and communicating trade-offs clearly.
- Excellent communication in English and/or Russian.
- Experience in early-stage startups or as a solo product designer.
- Understanding of front-end implementation constraints (e.g., responsive design, design-to-dev workflows).
- Type: Part-time or project-based freelance contract focused on MVP design and launch.
- Start: ASAP.
- Duration: Until MVP launch with potential extension for post-launch iterations and follow-on features.
- Location: Remote-friendly.
- Time zones: overlap with EST/CET.
