Product Designer

Jacuna is at the forefront of the rapidly growing dark kitchen industry with over 10 national locations serving 100s of the UK’s most-loved and innovative food brands, with significant growth planned in the coming years. Dark kitchens are typically delivery-only kitchens with no customer frontage from which brands can prepare and deliver high-quality food to customers living or working nearby via apps such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat.

• Familiarise yourself with current design trends in the food industry, understanding what a best in class consumer product in the food technology space looks like, and what design components are critical for their success
• Operate as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with product and engineering leadership to produce a product that looks and feels like the Jacuna brand

What you need to succeed

• 2+ years experience in designing consumer facing products, ideally with start-up experience
• Strong awareness of modern design principles, you’re aware of and have demonstrated ability in designing applications which fit amongst modern consumer facing SaaS products
• An awareness of modern frontend development and tooling and are used to working within the constraints that accompany them, you’re aware of what makes a design ‘difficult’ to implement and can time budget accordingly
