Product Designer

About Springloaded

We're a remote team working out of many timezones, based in Vancouver, Canada. We really love shipping software on the web. We've built our business around delivering the most value we can to our clients and customers, and as a result all of our business to date has been through referrals. We're growing because we deliver exceptional results to really great clients.

About the Job

We're looking for a Product Designer to join our team. This is a contract position, and we expect the workload to be in the range of 20-35hrs a week. We’re a fully remote and distributed team at Springloaded, and we really value effective asynchronous communication.

There will be a lot of hands-on work with our client, so we’re limiting the position to North American timezones. You’ll work your own hours, as long as you’re able to maintain a few hours of overlap with the team. The design process will be collaborative with stakeholders and the development team.

What We're Building

Over the last year we've been building a data-intensive internal application, and we'll be tacking on a public facing version of this application. Our existing design system has been designed for the internal user base, and we'll need to adjust some of this system for use with a new demographic.

Required Skills

You'll need to be an expert in Figma. You should be up-to-date on accessibility standards and best practices, with a good understanding of how your designs will translate to the browser. The application will be mobile-first, so extensive experience with that paradigm is a big asset. We use TailwindCSS and integrate tokens directly into Figma, so an understanding of designing using utility-first CSS frameworks is important for our teams to work efficiently.

Contract Position

We anticipate the duration of this engagement to be in the 3-4 month range. We'll aim to kick off the design process in early-mid February. Outside of this project, we typically have a general need for design work, so there's a good chance we'll have more work for you after this project wraps up.
