Position: UI/UX, Graphic Designer for Cloud and AI Applications  (Contract, long term)
Company: StarOps
Experience required: 2y
English level: upper

Hi! We're StarOps, and we are an international team with offices in San Diego, California and Munich, Germany. We work on cloud and AI products.

We are looking for a talented graphic & UI/UX designer to help design branding and UI/UX for two apps in development. This is a long-term (part time), contract role with the opportunity to work with a fast-growing tech company.

It's part time since I don't think we have enough work for a full time job, but we do have a long road of things we need help on for the next 1-2 years.

About the focus areas:

- One app is devops related for cloud infrastructure deployment.

Responsibilities:

- Design engaging and user-friendly interfaces for a devops/cloud compliance app and an AI-based summarization app
- Develop wireframes, prototypes, and visual designs
- Ensure designs are responsive, accessible, and follow platform guidelines
- Collaborate with a remote team of developers to implement designs
- Be communicative about expectations or needs (we are a remote team, after all)
- Landing page design, updates, branding, logos

Requirements:

2+ years of experience as a graphic designer, UI/UX designer or similar role

Proficient in design tools like Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

Experience designing for mobile apps and SaaS platforms

Strong portfolio showcasing experience with UI/UX design and branding

Ability to work independently and as part of a team in an iterative environment

Excellent communication and time-management skills

Passion for building simple, elegant, and user-friendly designs

Always learning and improving your design skills and knowledge

We're looking for a very good communicator, and someone easy going. They should be communicative in Slack well, and be available for ad hoc meetings if necessary, etc.

The ideal candidate is someone who is communicative, friendly, but is able to see the "big picture" without a lot of guidance. We also expect the person to reach out if they need help, etc.

Some pluses to have:
- Any cloud provider experience

This role is contract to hire! We don't do long interviews and tests, preferred to get started working and see how you work with us.

If you've read this far, please add "pokemon" to your application so I know you read the description. ;)

About us:

We're an American and European company focused on Platform/DevOps engineering. We make some products in the AI space and Platform engineering space.

We're a very independent, *laid back* company and we work best with people who are the same.
