About the Role
Every Drivon project — website, app or SaaS product — starts with a design problem before it becomes a build problem. As our designer, you will own that first stage: research, wireframes, high-fidelity Figma designs and a design system clients can grow into.
You design for how people actually behave, not just what looks good in a portfolio.
If you care equally about aesthetics and conversion, and want your work judged by real client results, this role is built for you.
What You Will Do
- Design high-fidelity UI for client websites, mobile apps and SaaS products in Figma
- Conduct lightweight UX research to inform design decisions
- Build and maintain reusable design systems and component libraries
- Create wireframes and prototypes for stakeholder review before development
- Collaborate closely with developers to ensure designs are implemented faithfully
- Run conversion-focused design reviews on landing pages and key user flows
- Present design rationale directly to clients with confidence
What We Are Looking For
Must Have
- 3+ years of UI/UX design experience, ideally agency or client-facing
- Expert-level Figma skills — components, auto-layout, variants
- A portfolio showing real shipped work, not just concepts
- Understanding of conversion-focused design principles
- Comfortable presenting and defending design decisions to clients
- Basic understanding of how designs translate into frontend code
Nice to Have
- Experience designing for both web and native mobile
- Basic HTML/CSS knowledge
- Brand identity or logo design experience
- Motion design / micro-interaction experience

Room to Grow
Regular feedback, increasing responsibility and opportunities to take on bigger roles as you develop.
Equipment
A laptop and the essential tools you need to do your work effectively, depending on your role.
