We’re a small company, with a big vision...creating something that really matters.

We make it easy for anybody concerned about climate change to take meaningful action - across pretty much anything they do online. It’s different from anything else on the market, and our testing has us optimistic that we might be onto something special (impact + business case).

We’re looking for a part-time UI/UX Designer for our product experience. We will be publicly launching our initial product in a few weeks, and so that’s where the real fun begins. We have a great design foundation in place, but we expect to learn a lot once we launch, and need help to iterate and improve in order to create real user value.

We’re looking for a great designer, but also for one who is comfortable striking the right balance between smart design, and the need for rapidly responding to customer & community feedback. 

----------

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

• Implementing & improving upon our product targets and designs for our web solution and browser extensions. Seeing what we have, understanding our goals, and finding ways to make it better.
  
• Rapidly iterating & prototyping promising ideas. 
• Expanding our use cases & customer touchpoints.
• Working on a day-to-day basis with our developers, community engagement managers, and broader team to deliver simplified, compelling user experiences that create measurable user value, move key metrics, bring about real change, and position us to scale into the future.

----------

TARGET TOOL SETS & EXPERIENCE

• Modern web design experience, with some browser extension experience being ideal.
• Ideally, Figma and/or Sketch experience.
• Ideally, Zeplin experience.

----------

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Smart, passionate people, who are interested in tough design challenges.
• Effective communicators, with good remote collaboration skills, as our working culture allows for flexibility, and a portion of the team is distributed outside of Taiwan (globally).
• Somebody who makes everybody around them better. Somebody who people want to work with. Somebody who does what they say they’ll do.

----------

ABOUT US:

We’re a Taipei, Taiwan-based company, with international aspirations on Day 1, and a team to prove it. We’re seed funded, and a few weeks away from public launch. Our product has a clear initial target audience, and (we believe) the ability to scale far beyond the growing set of people who currently see climate change as an urgent issue. We use modern practices, and optimize for learning, for moving quickly, and for efficiency. We sometimes use run-on sentences :).

We’re entrepreneurs, technologists, and scientists. We’ve built and sold startups, have run product efforts for unicorns (like Gogoro), and worked on lots of innovative products with innovative people.

We want to work at a great place, on a product that makes a difference. We want you to make us better.
