#UX, #ProductDesign

Hi there!

We are the biggest European Python Powerhouse with over 16 years of experience, 6 offices in Poland and deep commitment to Agile principles. Join a group of 400+ professionals dedicated to helping customers build outstanding products. The Product Design team is expanding and we are looking to cooperate with thoughtful, empathetic, and eager to learn and teach designers to join and support our efforts.

How do we work?

We strongly believe that design is a team sport. The greatest solutions come to life when you take a group of people with different skill sets and backgrounds, and you let their ideas clash. That is why we always approach design challenges as a group. The concept of designers working in silos trying to live up to the standard of UX Unicorn is a thing of the past.

About our values

Come to be a part of a design team striving to create the very best product for our clients and the end-user. Our job is complete only when we solve the problem – both for the business and the end-user. We try to successfully combine those two aspects and create delightful experiences that people love to talk about. 💪

What does it mean to be a part of the Product Design Team?

You’ll be part of a core team who will do all the research, initial design, and production-ready assets. You’ll help decide what the products and services will look and behave like, working alongside many stakeholders. You’ll take part in spreading the excitement of design challenges among coworkers, in addition to being a key point of contact for the client. You’ll learn and build your skillset on the one hand and share and teach others on the other.

Are you the NEXT one?
