Senior product designer

About the role

You lead discovery and delivery for client engagements and the occasional internal tool, turning vague briefs into shippable UX, documented in Figma and validated with engineering. You are equally confident in dense B2B flows and in polishing marketing surfaces when the same brand has to show up in both places.

You will work directly with principals and engineers, with no handoff-only layer. Expect async-first communication and focused live sessions for reviews and workshops.

Responsibilities

• Run structured discovery with clients: goals, constraints, success metrics, and honest tradeoffs.
• Produce flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity UI; maintain libraries and handoff specs engineering can build from.
• Run or support usability sessions; synthesize findings into prioritized changes.
• Work with engineering on accessibility, performance, and real edge states (empty, loading, error).
• Contribute to design QA before launch; document patterns so teams can extend the system after handoff.

Terms

• A strong portfolio showing end-to-end product work, not just marketing sites.
• Expert-level Figma; confident with variants, auto layout, and component architecture.
• Working knowledge of WCAG 2.2 AA patterns and how they affect layout and components.
• Experience working in async-first teams (written updates, Loom, shared boards).
• Eligible to work in Serbia (employment contract or service contract), with no visa required.

Nice to have

• Design system documentation or token workflows (e.g. Style Dictionary, Figma variables).
• Enough React or HTML/CSS to talk credibly with frontend engineers.
• Experience in hiring, HR tech, or other multi-role enterprise products.

Compensation and benefits

Gross pay: €1,400–2,000 per month for 24–30 hours a week, depending on experience. Service contract or fixed-term employment contract, specified in the offer. Statutory contributions.

• Statutory contributions; private health insurance if we move to an employment contract.
• Paid holidays and days off prorated to your hours.
• Home office or coworking support in Novi Sad (prorated).
• Professional development budget: books, courses, and conferences.

Working conditions and policies

• Hours: Part-time (typically 24–30 hours / week); core collaboration hours in CET (09–17), flexible async outside that window.
• Equipment: Company laptop and tools; details in the offer.
• Travel: Rare; occasional client workshops when mutually agreed.
• Reference check: May be required after a verbal offer, before you start.
• Confidentiality: You may see client roadmaps; standard NDA / MSA terms apply.
