Overview
Dribbble is the world’s premiere community for designers. We are a profitable and bootstrapped company helping the world’s design talent share their creations and get hired. Dribbble has grown to become the go-to resource for discovering and connecting with designers around the globe. All that said, we feel that we are just getting started.
We’re looking for a UI Designer to join our team to help us realize our vision of building the world’s best platform where anyone who wants to interact with the design community will come to: share, socialize, network, hire, advertise, or find a job they love.
Why you want to work here:
Dribbble has a passionate community and a real business model. We’re pro-having-a-life and family-friendly and our culture reflects that: 40-hour work weeks, flexible schedules, and a flexible vacation policy. If you work with us, you’ll find out pretty quickly that we’re goofballs, but we treat our employees like grownups (in the good ways, not by making them wear khaki pants.) We’re a remote team and we’re spread all across the land. We get together IRL a few times a year, but mostly we enjoy each other’s company over Slack and video calls. If you live in Canada or the United States, you can join the team without worrying about relocating.

- Collaborating with the product team to define and implement innovative solutions for the product direction, visuals and experience.

- Ownership: the Dribbble community will depend on you to deliver a quality experience.
