About the Role
- Senior product designer.
- The role spans both worlds—designing the editor itself, where most patterns have to be invented rather than borrowed, and designing the more conventional surfaces around it (profile, onboarding, marketing-adjacent flows, etc.) where we still want our own voice to come through.
- Both require a strong understanding of business impact: working with metrics, analytics, and experiments.
- This is a fully remote collaboration under a service agreement.
- We work primarily within the GMT+1 time zone and expect a regular overlap of business hours on weekdays to allow for meetings and live collaboration.
What You'll Be Doing
- Own features end-to-end, from early exploration through specs and production handoff.
- Use Readymag as your primary lens: spot friction, notice inconsistencies, and advocate for improvements as someone who works with the product daily.
- Prototype ideas quickly: in Figma, in code, or whatever gets the point across fastest.
- Collaborate with engineers on technical and architectural decisions.
- Contribute to and extend the Design Systems, keeping it tightly aligned with how things are built in code.
- Work with data, run experiments, and use research to make informed decisions.
- Contribute to strategic direction and roadmap alongside product and design leadership.
What You'll Bring
5+ years in product design, preferably in complex technical industries.
Strong ownership and an end-to-end approach—you can take a feature from ambiguous brief to shipped without losing the thread.
A portfolio that shows range: complex product problems solved with clarity, and an eye for visual quality that designers will notice.
You think in systems and work closely with engineers—you’re comfortable in technical conversations, not just design reviews.
Nice to Have
Meaningful experience with tools, creative software, or other canvas-based, interaction-heavy products.
A feel for interface animation—not just transitions for their own sake, but motion that communicates state, guides attention, and makes a complex tool feel alive.
Compensation & Benefits
- Remote work with a flexible schedule.
- 28 weekdays of paid annual leave.
- A corporate laptop.
- Compensation for coworking space fees.
- Compensation for sports or other physical activities.
- A learning budget to invest in courses, books, or conferences.
Interview Process
- The process is entirely remote and runs in four stages:
- A 30-minute call with our talent acquisition partner, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about the position.
- An interview with our head of design and product manager.
- A test assignment.
- A finalizing call with Diana Kasay, Readymag chief executive officer.
- A decision will be reached a few days after the final stage.
About Readymag
- Readymag is a design tool for creating websites, portfolios, editorials, and presentations.
- We build for designers who treat the web as a creative medium, not a constraint to work around.
- Since 2012, we've been inventing capabilities that go the extra mile: animation and interaction systems that give designers full expressive control, layout logic that thinks beyond the grid, and typography tools with the precision of professional print software.
- We're bootstrapped—a fully distributed team, independent by design, sustainable by choice.
- We value curiosity, authorship, and a culture of questions.
- We measure what we can, and trust craft where we can't.
