UI/UX Designer

We’re looking for a UI/UX Designer with a product-focused background to join our team. You'll be a key touchpoint in SuperHi's product and design teams. You will play a leading role in creating new products, using evidence-based data, that will help creative people improve their careers.

Who is SuperHi?

SuperHi’s mission is to make creative education, better designed. We give the creative and curious the tools and techniques to bring their ideas and their work to life online.

We currently teach practical skills in code, design, and project management in a real-world way. We're proud that our current students are 51% female, 1% non-binary, and 48% male from a wide range of backgrounds and over 90 countries, and we have one of the highest Net Promoter Score of any online business in the world.

Over 2022, we'll be opening up the SuperHi platform to let people get paid for sharing their creative skills. We will be creating a range of brand new products that aren't part of the current SuperHi ecosystem and don't exist on the internet currently.

We’re a proudly remote team with people located worldwide. We are a fast-growing startup that recently raised a Series A round of investment to build these new tools. We are backed by world-class VCs such as Framework, Designer Fund, Expa, Torch Capital, and Reach Capital.

Employment details

SuperHi tries to be a forward-thinking, progressive company. We were a remote company from the start (years before lockdown), and we are currently working 4-day work weeks.

• A competitive, fair salary – we have a salary calculator to ensure fairness
• Health, dental and vision insurance for US-based employees
• Stipend to get a workspace local to you if you prefer not to work at home after lockdown
• 25 vacation days a year on top of public holidays in your country

Plus a lot more! Our handbook is also public if you want to read more about how we work.

How we hire

We want you to meet with a variety of people from different teams and get a sense of what it’s like to work together. This means our interview process takes a bit more time than most places.

• Our first interview is a conversational-style interview. The best way to prepare for this is to spend some time reflecting on all of the experiences you've had and the things you've done to bring you to the point you're at today. It's more of a two-sided conversation than us "grilling" you.
• Next, you'll receive a test. It won't be a long test — just a couple of hours maximum — and you'll be fairly paid for your time.
• Then you'll meet several members of the team, so you can get to know the people you could be working with and the problems they’re currently solving.

We make a decision after collecting lots of feedback from our various and diverse team members. The hiring team will take the time to meet and discuss and will come back to you with a decision.

Who you'll work with

As part of this role, you will be mostly working closely with:

• Chris Lawrence (Technical Director)
• Navya Dev (Product Manager)
• André Cândido (Art Director)
• Panna Nyeste (Designer)

Along with the rest of the SuperHi team, external teachers and designers, and the whole of the SuperHi community!

We know companies say this (and sometimes don't mean it) but we are a 100% equal opportunities employer. We welcome anyone from any gender, race, sexuality, ability, background, age, etc. to apply. Diversity and inclusion are incredibly important to SuperHi. Our students come from all walks of life and our team should reflect that too.
