ruby-labs - Frontend Designer
Requirements
• This is not a 9–5 role. We move fast, ship often, and expect ownership. If you're a strong designer who codes, takes pride in elevating product quality, and wants real impact — read on. • 5+ years of frontend design or design engineering experience. • Exceptional design skills — strong portfolio showing taste, visual hierarchy, typography, layout, and conversion-focused thinking. • Designer-to-developer background with advanced Figma expertise. Must have started as a UI/UX designer before transitioning into frontend development. • Autonomous design excellence ability to create complete interfaces from high-level references with exceptional attention to detail as a baseline expectation. • Deep experience with design systems — you've built or significantly evolved one, not just used one. • Strong proficiency in Next.js, React, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS — you implement your own designs at a high standard. • Experience with UI component libraries (NextUI, HeroUI, or similar). • Ability to design and ship UI without relying on a dedicated designer or Figma mockups. • Proficiency in HTML and CSS — clean, semantic, maintainable code. • Strong attention to detail — pixel-accurate implementation matters to you. • Experience with Git and modern version control workflows. • Portfolio showcasing strong design AND production-shipped frontend work. • You have strong opinions on design and you defend them with clarity. • You care about how things look and how they perform. • You take a vague brief or wireframe and produce something polished without constant direction. • You ship clean UI fast without over-engineering. • You raise the bar for the team — others learn from how you work. • Experience working in D2C SaaS or subscription-based products. • Background in performance marketing, CRO, or conversion-driven design. • Experience designing forms, editors, or document-heavy UI. • Exposure to A/B testing frameworks and experimentation systems. • Experience mentoring or guiding other designers and engineers. • Ruby Labs operates within the CET (Central European Time) zone. Applicants from any country are welcome to apply for the position as long as they are located within approximately ± 4 hours of CET. This ensures optimal collaboration and communication during working hours.
