As a designer at Mean Guppy, a U.S.-based agency, you’ll work on projects for some of the world’s largest companies, as well as exciting startups.

Together with colleagues from our design and product teams, you’ll create mobile and web applications.

The design process will cover every stage involved in building world-class products. You may feel most at home in the creative phase at the beginning of the process, in UX, or in the detailed architecture of screens and components. Or perhaps you’ll enjoy building complex design systems in Figma—systems that will later be used by thousands of designers and developers to create new or update existing experiences.

We believe you’ll find your sweet spot in this kind of work and enjoy the challenge of being part of an international team.

Your responsibilities as a Mean Guppy designer will also include:

• Discovery and user research
• Ideation and concept development
• Design reviews and iteration
• User testing
• Screen design
• UI architecture and component specifications
• Design system development

• A strong desire to grow, take on new challenges, and do your best work
• Ability to manage tasks independently and deliver them within a reasonable timeframe
• Ability to communicate in English—fluency is not required from day one
• Passion for design
• Some hands-on experience with UX and UI design
• Working knowledge of Figma
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to support your teammates’ growth
• Willingness to partially align your working hours with the U.S. Eastern time zone (- 6 hrs)

• Fully remote work from the comfort of your home or coffee shop
• An opportunity to work on meaningful, large-scale projects for some of the world’s leading companies and exciting North American startups
• The stability of an established U.S. agency
• Hands-on learning and mentorship from experienced professionals across design, product, and engineering
• The opportunity to develop a broad range of skills—from user research and UX to UI design, component architecture, and complex design systems
• Real-world experience designing scalable digital products that are used by large teams and real users
• An international working environment where you can grow professionally and improve your English
