UI/UX Product Designer (Figma-Savvy)

About ThinkofThinkof is crafting the next-generation mobile social experience. We prize clean, minimal, cinematic design paired with fluid, full-width vertical scroll interactions. Join a small, fast-moving team where your designs set the tone for every tap, pause, and scroll.Role OverviewYou’ll own the end-to-end design of our core mobile flows from early user research and wireframes through high-fidelity Figma prototypes and design-system maintenance. Partnering closely with engineering, you’ll ensure every element (badges, soft toggles, floating actions) is pixel-perfect, one-hand friendly, and feels intentional.ResponsibilitiesUser Research & Flow Mapping

Conduct interviews and usability tests to validate flows.

Translate insights into user journeys, wireframes, and annotated flow diagrams.

High-Fidelity Prototyping

Design and iterate interactive prototypes in Figma (including Smart Animate) to demo core experiences.

Define and document responsive states, motion guidelines, and thumb-reach layouts.

Design System Leadership

Build and maintain a scalable Figma design system: typography scales, spacing tokens, color palette, iconography, badges.

Publish and version components, styles, and asset-export guidelines for engineering handoff.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work hand-in-hand with Front-end Engineers to translate Figma specs into production.

Participate in grooming and sprint planning to scope design deliverables.

Iteration & Quality Assurance

Conduct rapid design iterations during sprint cycles based on engineering feedback and user-test results.

QA builds on device to ensure fidelity to designs and smooth performance (60 fps target).Required Qualifications3+ years as a Product or UX/UI Designer focused on mobile apps.

Expert proficiency in Figma: components, variants, auto-layout, prototyping, design tokens.

Strong portfolio showcasing minimalist, cinematic mobile interfaces with clear attention to spacing, motion, and one-hand ergonomics.

Experience building and maintaining a living design system in Figma.

Comfortable running user research and translating findings into actionable design improvements.

Excellent verbal and written communication; able to articulate design rationale to engineers and stakeholders.Preferred QualificationsPrior work on social-feed or content-heavy mobile applications.

Familiarity with React Native or Flutter workflows and developer handoff tools (e.g., Zeplin, Figma Dev Mode).

Basic understanding of mobile performance considerations and animation frameworks (Lottie, Framer Motion).

Experience with accessibility standards for mobile (VoiceOver, TalkBack, dynamic type).Apply TodaySend your resume, Figma portfolio link, and a brief cover note [email protected] .
