Product Designer - UI/UX

Descrizione

Our SumUp office in Cologne is currently hiring for the position of Product Designer - UI/UX.

The Job

Working as a Product Designer for SumUp could be interesting for you because we cover many different platforms that we continually try to improve: We have physical hardware, localized websites, mobile apps on iOS and Android, third-party integrations and a merchant-facing web app. Help us bring card acceptance to the masses!

To us, Product Designer means you are comfortable with designing interfaces from both UX and UI perspective. As part of the design team you will be in charge of turning new features for our mobile and web applications from concept into reality and also for continuously improving the interface. You'll shape some of the core experiences of our merchants: from their first impression on our website, to the web-based features that make them loyal to our platform.

• You not only know how to make things beautiful but also know how to speak the language of the user.
• You're passionate about the complete design process, from the technical architecture to the final interface.
• You think about the entire experience of users rather than a single screen in isolation.
• You care about delivering a consistent experience and visual language across all platforms.
• You're not only interested in input from developers, marketers and users, but you're able to ask the right questions, give feedback and critique your own solutions.
• By validating your assumptions with proper user research and usability testing, you make sure you're addressing the right problems the right way.
• You like working on a product from start to finish, and do not relent until an excellent and solid feature can be shipped.
• You have a strong portfolio that demonstrates a well-structured, iterative design process for turning an idea into a creative and unique design.

Requirements

• You have 3+ years experience as a UX and UI Designer
• You know the common design tools and services (we mainly use Sketch)
• Your excellent communication and presentation skills will help you collaborate with team members from a wide range of countries and cultures
• You have experience in working in an agile environment and the ability to adapt quickly to changing product priorities
• Knowledge of frontend technologies (e.g., CSS, HTML, JS), experience with prototyping tools or motion design is a plus
• You are comfortable in English. German is a bonus.

Benefits

• Flat hierarchies and the opportunity to have an impact, irrespective of your job description.
• Convenient location in the heart of Cologne.
• All the startup swag you expect: Xbox, unlimited coffee, and a shiny MacBook Pro.
• Our office has a strong sense of community; we get together regularly for sports, Karneval, and drinks.
• Our global team comes from 30 different countries creating a fun, international environment.

We'd be happy to receive your application including your resume, cover letter and portfolio that demonstrates your experience.

About us

We are the leading mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) company in Europe. We started out 5 years ago and built our payment service from scratch to shake up the industry and wake up the entrepreneur within anyone. We created a unique device that, with the smartphone that’s in your pocket, allows small merchants to accept card payments anywhere. Whether our merchants are brewing coffee or fixing cars, we want to make technology that everyone knows how to use. That way our merchants can focus on what they do best. From our paperless onboarding to taking the first payment, we make it easy. Traditional offerings leave out small businesses, we don’t. We are open and honest about our pricing and have no hidden fees.

Today, hundreds of thousands of small businesses in 31 countries around the world rely on SumUp to get paid. In addition to our original hardware, mobile and web apps we have gone on to develop a suite of APIs and SDKs to integrate SumUp payment into other apps and services.

Why work for us?

We do things differently. We build our own payment solution end-to-end so that we can always offer the best value and service. We know how vital payment is to small businesses, so we use our technology to solve their problems. We believe in open and transparent communication, not strict rules and hierarchies. We are a team of hardworking, talented people with one goal: to build a better way to get paid. We’ve got some huge challenges ahead of us, and we need smart, creative people to help us tackle them. If you think you’ve got what it takes—join us.
