Senior UX Designer

At Vazco, we thrive on exploring the latest technologies, charting new paths, and even challenging the status quo. That’s why we work on innovative software projects that make a real-life impact and deliver great value to customers.

Are you excited about the prospect of delivering quality-first solutions for startups, scale-ups, and enterprises worldwide? Are you also eager to contribute positively to the Open Source community or non-profit organizations? No need to choose between these options – we’ve got them all covered.

Apart from that, you will find yourself in an authentic and open company culture. Our non-hierarchical structure means minimal management and transparent communication with everyone (including the CEO).

Now, let’s see what else makes joining our Crew so exciting! ⛵

We would be absolutely astonished* if you had:

 (* don't worry, it's okay to learn these skills later)

• Experience in building a team.
• Worked in a software agency. 

Your responsibilities will include

• Spearheading the design process as the sole UX designer, with support from partner firms, and ultimately building a design team within our company.

• Working with engineering teams to guarantee the UI satisfies both technical and functional requirements.

Vazco fundamentals

• B2B-friendly vacation - everyone deserves a break to recharge their batteries in a way that suits them best. Regardless of the contract you choose, we provide paid vacation time 🏖️. If you'd rather not use it, you'll receive its financial equivalent.
• Remote-first approach - have you ever woke up at 5 a.m., skipped breakfast to get to the office on time, and then got stuck in traffic for 2 hours? These times are gone for our Crew. Most of the roles are 100% remote 🏠; however, if you want to work on-site, drop by our office in Wrocław.
• Knowledge-sharing environment - collaborative culture thrives on sharing expertise. We have efficient processes that facilitate self-development and allow you to grow in the direction you choose. Join knowledge circles that spark your interest, participate in initiatives for the Development Circle events, and get to know your colleague's best practices through mentoring. 💡
• Flexibility - we have flexible working hours for the night owls and early birds. If you prefer a hammock on the Canary Islands over an office in the city center, take advantage of the remote-first approach. Would you like to enjoy a 7-hour working day? Sure, we're open to discussions - it's possible to work with us from 0.5 FTE upwards. 
• Mentoring - forget being all alone after your very first day – that’s not our style. We believe in life-long learning and personalized support. By joining us, you gain full access to mentoring from our experts, who also specialize in niche topics. 🌱
• Ability to change projects on time - when you find that you'd continue your growth in a different role or switch the project's industry, we can facilitate such change. It's important for us to uphold your highest possible satisfaction. 😎
• Career fast track - authority comes from merit, not the other way around. That's why we don't allow years spent working in one role to dictate our seniority. Get promoted by growing your skills and showing expertise. 🏅
• Having a real impact - we build proactive teams and foster a sense of ownership, no matter what tasks your role involves. We also find transparency a key ingredient to a positive workplace. Apart from participating in all product-making stages, you will also know the business objectives behind growing the product in a specific direction. Your voice will be heard, valued, and used to facilitate a change for the better. ✌️
• Innovative projects - innovative software projects from all over the world and in diverse industries are what we excel at 🚀. Our portfolio is filled with forward-thinking clients and cutting-edge businesses (created by people like, e.g. the founder of Zoom). That means you'll never get bored with your work and always have a fresh challenge at hand.
• Feedback culture - we cultivate trust with a direct feedback culture - you will receive it frequently and offer it to others (including your leaders). Through transparent communication, we can amplify what's best in our work and identify when we fall short. It's okay to make mistakes, as they're an integral part of growth. We've got your back each step of the way. 💛
• Self development - grasp the opportunity for self-development. Learn from experienced PMs, participate in knowledge-sharing activities, and trust in mutual support. You have the possibility to choose the direction you want for yourself, and we'll do our best to make it happen.
• Buddy atmosphere - laid-back vibes over glitz and glam. Who agrees? Casual outfits are all the rage at Vazco 👕. Sip an alcohol-free beer over a pool table during your well-deserved break, or bring a furry friend to the office... feel free to do whatever makes you (and the others) comfortable.
