Who we are Minimal is a product design studio building complex digital products for startups and enterprises. We work where the hard problems live: dense data interfaces, AI-integrated products, multi-role platforms — the stuff that breaks naive design thinking. Selected clients: * Enterprise: Lenovo, Medallia, National Bank of Ukraine, Future Kid * Product startups that have collectively raised $50M+
Remote-first since 2017. Average tenure 3+ years. Small core team — product designers, frontend engineers, QA, PM, art director.
Why this role exists We’re scaling a studio that defines what world-class product design looks like in the AI era. That means designers who think in systems, ship fast, and use AI as a force multiplier — not as a toy for generating text.
Must-haves * 2+ years designing digital products (no marketing/branding portfolios) * Prior work with startups * Experience with data-heavy interfaces — dashboards, analytics, B2B tools, fintech, or similar dense, multi-state UIs * Confident spoken English — you’ll present to clients directly * Strong fundamentals: typography, color, layout, grids, IA, user journeys, wireframing, prototyping, micro-interactions * Comfort with ambiguity, fast iteration, and shipping under real product constraints * Active use of AI in your design workflow — beyond ChatGPT for text. We expect hands-on experience with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Figma Make, v0, or similar — using them to generate, prototype, or validate product artifacts. If you’ve designed an AI-integrated product or built side projects with AI tools, that’s exactly what we’re looking for. * Ukrainian citizenship
Nice-to-have * A pet project shipped using AI/code-gen tools * Public footprint — Twitter, LinkedIn, Dribbble — where you talk about your craft
What you get * Fully remote, flexible hours * 21+ paid vacation days * Competitive salary, reviews every 6–12 months * Education budget and team perks * Direct mentorship from the art director and senior team * Work that goes into products used by enterprise and well-funded startups * A team that takes the craft seriously and doesn’t tolerate mediocrity — including its own
