👯 Working in the Product Design Team (currently a team of four)

Would you like to join a fully remote, independent, and profitable company made up of experienced, talented people?

If you are a staff-level Product Designer and would like to work in a small, talented team, solve complex/interesting design challenges, and create beautiful products, this could be the job for you.

With one of our Co-founders being a Product Designer, design and user experience has been at the core of what we do since the start! If you love to dig deep into what makes users tick and turn this knowledge into simple and efficient products—we think you’ll be right at home here.

Who we are, what we do, and how it’s going

Back in 2017, we saw an issue with last-mile delivery—it was too complicated and stressful for drivers. Circuit started a mission to change that by choosing to develop an app that put the driver, and their customers, first.

We were astounded by the response we received. Within our first year, we had almost 1,000 customers, $100k in ARR, and a team consisting of our two co-founders, Jack and Pol. Today, we now help more than 100,000 drivers deliver over 1bn packages worldwide (about 20 a second!), $20m ARR, and a lean team of ~40.

What you will be doing

You are an experienced Product Designer, so we won't go into the day-to-day! Joining our existing team of four, you will report directly to Pol, Co-Founder and Principal Designer. You'll work on Circuit Route Planner, our power-user app for delivery drivers that aims to improve their efficiency and quality of life during their day-to-day jobs. You’ll be involved in every aspect of its design, moving the product and the business forward by continually finding and implementing better solutions for our users.

Our flagship mobile app has worked its way to being the #1 app in the category by focusing on product quality—making sure it’s very easy to learn but also extremely efficient. As a result, it’s a highly opinionated product that requires a very fine balancing act between these two goals.

Working as an individual contributor, you will own and lead your design projects end-to-end and work closely with our developers, helping to make implementations as good as your designs.

What you won’t be doing

• Daily stand-ups and fortnightly sprints. Expect ~one meeting per week. We’re not the right fit for you if you rely on regular meetings to keep on track

• Sacrificing quality. We have high standards and won’t rush to meet an arbitrary deadline

• Managing people. We hire senior people as ICs because we want a lean team and a flat structure. You’ll need to be okay with doing more junior tasks.

Your skills and experience

• 5+ years designing mobile apps or SaaS products

• You like to solve tricky problems and create products that are a joy to use!

• Are at your happiest working on projects from start to finish - talking to users, identifying & exploring issues, designing & implementing solutions, and monitoring their success

• Instinctively know when to take your time - and when to get things done quickly

• Enjoy working autonomously, and know when to trust your gut or gather more data

• Like to get things right and done on time

• Come up with alternative ideas that accomplish goals with less complexity

• Are based in UTC-5 to UTC+2 time zones

• Can speak and write in English at a professional level
