You'll work directly with US-based founders and product owners, then hand clean, buildable specs to engineering teams that ship with AI-augmented workflows. We want someone who has run design end to end in an agency or product studio, not someone who only produces mood boards. If you can hold a client call, make hard product trade-offs, and leave Figma files engineers actually build from, we want to talk.\nAbout Us\nBolder Apps is a product development studio that partners with US-based startups and established companies to build and scale innovative digital products. We specialize in AI-powered development, full-cycle product creation, and engineering team augmentation. Our mission is simple: build bolder, faster, and smarter.\nOur Culture & Values (read before applying)\nWe move fast. We take ownership. We work with AI, not against it. And we expect everyone to bring ideas, not wait for instructions.\nThere are no daily checklists, no micromanagement, and no corporate politics. Instead, you'll have autonomy, trust, and a team that's always ready to help you grow. At Bolder Apps, impact matters more than titles, and curiosity matters more than seniority.\nIf you want a place where you can level up fast and actually see your work making a difference - welcome aboard.\nResponsibilities\nOwn product UI/UX for client mobile and web apps from discovery through handoff, across more than one engagement when the pipeline needs it\nRun client-facing design reviews, workshops, and async critique during US business hours, including the small talk that keeps trust intact\nTurn messy briefs into flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, and interactive prototypes that answer the product question, not just look finished\nBuild and maintain design systems and component libraries so the next feature does not reinvent buttons, spacing, or states\nPartner with PMs and engineers on scope cuts, edge cases, empty states, loading, errors, accessibility, and platform conventions (HIG and Material)\nProduce Figma files engineers can build from: named layers, variants, auto-layout, redlines or tokens, and export-ready assets\nUse AI design and research tools to move faster, then review the output yourself before it reaches a client or a sprint\nFlag design risk early when the brief is unclear, the timeline is fake, or the product ask conflicts with platform or technical constraints\nRequirements\nShipped product design. 4+ years designing production mobile and/or web products that went live. Portfolio shows full case studies with problem, constraints, your decisions, and the shipped result, not isolated pretty screens.\nClient-facing craft. You have sat on calls with founders or product owners, defended choices without getting defensive, and kept the relationship warm while saying no to bad ideas. Agency or consultancy experience preferred.\nFigma fluency. Components, variants, auto-layout, variables or tokens, prototyping, shared libraries, and clean file structure. Engineers should not need a meeting to decode your file.\nSystems thinking. You design for reuse. Patterns, states, and edge cases are part of the job, not an afterthought before handoff.\nMobile and web literacy. You know what changes between iOS, Android, and responsive web, and you catch when a web pattern will fail on a phone.\nAI-augmented workflow. You use tools like Figma AI, Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, or similar to accelerate exploration and copy, and you catch when the output is almost right but wrong.\nEnglish at C1 or above. Client calls and written feedback go out in your voice, not through a translator layer.\nUS hours overlap. Available through roughly 5 PM EST for live client coordination. Async work is welcome; ghosting the client's day is not.\nOwnership habits. You estimate honestly, surface blockers early, and finish what you commit to. You do not disappear and resurface with surprises.\nBenefits\nFully remote and async-friendly, with required overlap through ~5 PM EST for client sessions\nMonthly retainer structure with recurring client product work for designers who deliver clean files and calm client calls\nReal autonomy over how you run discovery, critique, and Figma process. We do not hand you a rigid design playbook\nDirect line to PMs, engineers, and decision-makers. No theater layers between you and the people who own the outcome\nTooling budget for Figma seats, prototyping, and AI tools you need to move fast\nA peer network of product-minded designers and builders working across overlapping client projects","description_format":"text","description_chars":4659,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Argentina","iso":"AR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Colombia","iso":"CO","kind":"country"},{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"country"},{"name":"Uzbekistan","iso":"UZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Georgia","iso":"GE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Mobile App Development Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T06:38:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":37,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.673,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":46,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bolder-apps-uiux-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bolder-apps-uiux-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T17:29:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24326,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":450168},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=450168"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbolder-apps-uiux-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbolder-apps-uiux-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbolder-apps-uiux-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bolder-apps-uiux-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbolder-apps-uiux-product-designer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":956647}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bolderapps.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":956647},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
