About the role…

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our design team. You'll work across our consumer product (web and mobile), contributing to the full design process: from early discovery and ideation through to polished, shipping-ready UI. You'll be embedded in a cross-functional pod alongside product managers, and engineers with mentorship from senior designers.

This is an ideal role for someone who's sharp, curious, and ready to grow fast. You won't just be executing tasks - you'll be encouraged to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and develop a strong design voice of your own.

This is a contract role, not a full-time position. We're hiring for a fixed engagement of 6-months with the possibility of extension depending on how the work evolves. Significant overlap with our Lisbon hours is required.

What You'll Do

Design & Craft

• Use Figma and AI tools to communicate and validate design decisions

• Contribute to the UX of Bounce's consumer-facing product across web and mobile

• Help maintain and extend Bounce's design system, ensuring consistency across surfaces

Research & Discovery

• Participate in user interviews, usability tests, and research sessions

• Understand how users interact with current flows and where pain points exist through quantitative and qualitative data

• Contribute to competitive research and stay curious about how leading consumer products solve similar problems

Collaboration

• Work closely with product managers to understand problem framing, constraints, and success metrics before jumping into design

• Partner with engineers to understand technical constraints and ensure design feasibility

• Present your work in design jam sessions, and articulate the reasoning behind your decisions

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years of experience in product design

• A portfolio that demonstrates UX thinking - not just polished visuals

• Solid working knowledge of Figma

• A genuine interest in user-centred design: you think about the person using the product before you think about the pixels

• Strong attention to detail - you notice when something is 2px off, and you care

• Clear communicator who can explain design decisions without jargon

• Comfortable receiving feedback and using it to improve your work, quickly
