Job role:

Experience Designer

Who we are:

Blocktype is a VC funded  early stage start-up with a mission to revolutionise the way we plan for housing. We are building a ‘sim-city’ type platform where property developers and urban planners can collaborate and design their own housing proposals..

What we value:

  • We are ambitious: Think big and long term.  We’re not just building a product, we’re changing the way we plan cities.

  • We have fun: We’re building something meaningful, but great things won’t come out of joyless processes.

  • We are kind: Be empathetic and act on it. Give each other space to speak and to be heard without judgement. 

  • We are curious: Challenge everything, listen closely and keep learning.

  • We are open: Honesty and transparency by default.  We are all human, and it’s ok to show it.

  • We want impact: Focus on outcomes, not just outputs. It’s better to work smart than long.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Lead on the design of the product.

  • Own the complete Blocktype user experience from web presence, onboarding and to product use.

  • Help us understand and meet our users needs.

  • Generate exploratory prototypes to test new features and product ideas.

  • Work closely with our development team to understand and execute ideas.

Your experience:

  • We don't think experience is measured in time, so we don't care how many years you’ve been working for, we care what you’ve achieved.

  • You have designed easy to use game interfaces, map based applications or other complex web services.

The type of person you’ll be:

  • Motivated to create an impeccable end-to-end user experience and outstanding product.

  • Thrives working with a fast paced and highly agile team, and can adapt to rapidly changing circumstances.

  • Can work on short term solutions without compromising longer term visions.

  • Can create excellent work within technical or commercial constraints.

  • Based in the UK with the right to work here.

What you’ll get:

  • £40,000 - £45,000 salary

  • Share options

  • Flexible working times

  • Remote working

  • At least 28 days holiday
