Flexible schedule

You'll work 40 hours per week, but you choose how to organize your time. We trust you to manage your work in the way that suits you best. The only fixed moments are dailies and client meetings, because we value results and well-being over micromanagement.

What's the Role?

As a UX / UI designer, you will work on projects that require special attention to user experience and interface design. Your responsibilities will include gathering customer requirements, designing wireframes and prototypes, and collaborating closely with developers to ensure smooth implementation.

How will you work?

You will meet daily with the team online and work remotely. Your day-to-day will be alongside the Front-end Lead, and the rest of the team will always be available to support you.

What's the Selection Process?

We aim to make our selection process smooth, informative, and enjoyable, ensuring it's a two-way street where we get to know each other.

1 / Initial Meet & Greet

A casual video call to introduce ourselves, discuss the role at a high level and get to know each other's backgrounds and motivations. This call with Matías, Biel, and/or Victor is all about seeing if we're a mutual fit.

2 / Role-Focused Interview

This is a more focused discussion, diving into the role's specifics. We'll go over some example cases and discuss your experience. This is a friendly technical talk, not a courtroom. We always want you to feel comfortable in a friendly environment.

3 / Meet the Team Leads

In this call, you'll meet some of our key team leads. This conversation helps you understand the company culture, our team dynamics, and the cross-functional work you'll be doing. It's also a chance to talk more about the projects we're passionate about. You will have the opportunity to meet some of the team members you'll be working with, such as colleagues from the same department, Leads, Project Managers, or other relevant teammates. The goal is to gauge the chemistry and see if you would be a good fit for working together.

4 / Decision & Offer

After the final discussion, we'll circle back with a decision. If we're a match, we'll be excited to extend an offer and welcome you aboard The final call will be dedicated to discussing and finalizing the remaining details of the offer. This is the last step in the recruiting process, where we ensure all questions are answered, terms are clarified, and both parties feel confident moving forward. It's an opportunity to confirm that everything aligns and to celebrate the beginning of our journey together.
