Job role: Product Designer
Startup: Hadu
Startup categories: Consumer Apps, Community, Other
Job type: Contractor
Location: New York
Job functions: UX Design
We’re building a new app designed to help people build meaningful relationships and create shared experiences — and we’re looking for a talented Product Designer to lead the design of this experience from the ground up.
This is a contract role for someone with strong experience across mobile and desktop/web platforms, who can turn abstract ideas into polished, intuitive interfaces that bring people together.
🧠 What You’ll Do:
- Own the design process end-to-end: research, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, and developer handoff
- Design seamless, engaging experiences across both mobile (iOS/Android) and desktop web
- Craft clear, accessible user journeys that serve multiple types of users and stakeholders
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and leadership to bring the app’s vision to life
- Create and maintain a design system that supports consistency and scalability
✅ What We’re Looking For:
- 3-5 years of experience designing digital products, including both mobile and web
- A portfolio showcasing real-world work that balances UX clarity with visual polish
- Experience designing multi-sided or community-based platforms is a strong plus
- Fluency in modern design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe CC, etc.)
- Strong communication skills and comfort working in a fast-paced, remote-first environment
- Passion for designing experiences that foster connection and joy
💡 Why Join Us: This is a unique opportunity to shape a product that’s all about helping people connect in authentic and lasting ways. If you’re excited to design something that brings people together — and to own the creative journey from zero to launch — we’d love to hear from you.
