Job Description
Ushahidi is looking for a senior designer to contribute to Ushahidi’s user experience and design systems. You’d work closely with other designers, product managers, engineers, and sales staff to develop solutions to users’ problems using primarily the web, iOS, and Android.
We need someone who can work end-to-end through the entire design process, from discovery, problem definition, information architecture, and interaction design to pixel-pushing the UI, prototyping, carrying out light-weight user testing, and prototyping in code. We understand that your skillset will be stronger in some areas and weaker in others, but you need to contribute at every step of the product design process. If you’re a designer first and you don’t mind wearing lots of hats, you’ll do great.
This is a remote position.
We strongly encourage people from traditionally underrepresented populations in tech – such as women, People of Color, People with Disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people, etc – to apply!
Responsibilities
Why you should apply
You are a thoughtful, creative product designer with a few years of work experience and an interest in international development and social justice. After hacking away at your own projects and/or busting your chops for a while in the corporate world and startups, you’re looking to use your skills to develop software that has a tangible social good.
New cultures, people and experiences give you energy; you work effectively and efficiently on distributed teams with diverse experience across many time zones. Given the freedom to work anywhere, you are self-guided and can work autonomously. You bring empathy and effective communication to you day to day work. Chaos gives you joy, order is your satisfaction.
