Senior UI/UX Designer

Remote OK - Worldwide
Full-time
June 2, 2022

Why we are hiring

One UI/UX designer is currently responsible for designing both "Autify for Web" and "Autify for Mobile". We are hiring additional staff to assign design tasks for each product and build a better design process.

Product design at Autify

As of April 2022, the Product team consists of three Product Managers and one UI/UX Designer. The CEO also serves as the Head of products. We identify issues from user feedback and requests we receive from departments that interact with clients often, such as CS and Sales. We then explore the context and causes of those issues, formulate hypotheses on how we can solve them from a technical and UI design standpoint, and apply those ideas to the UI. We then validate whether our theory was correct based on the feedback and data we receive on released products and make further improvements. We primarily use Sketch as our design tool, as well as Figma, Zeplin, and Adobe.

What you can achieve at Autify

At Autify, you will be able to:

Take the initiative and take on many roles in a fast-growing startup in an industry where demand is growing globally.
Contribute to bringing better products to the marketplace by assisting software developers.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for designing the UI/UX for Autify for Web, our test automation product for web applications, and Autify for Mobile, our test automation products for mobile applications. As a part of the Product team, you will work with the Product Manager to develop feature specifications based on client feedback. You will then design and implement the necessary UI/UX. You will also conduct user interviews and research as needed during the design process.

As a no-code test automation product, we focus on creating a UX that is easy to learn so that anyone can easily automate testing. On the other hand, a no-code platform can become too limiting if executed poorly. Simply being easy to use isn’t good enough. We would like you to join our team to create an easy-to-use UX that allows users to achieve their objectives, no matter their technical proficiency. In addition, we would also like the design to have a playful touch that makes it fun to use. We don’t want the stiff and formal impression that B2B products tend to have.

About Autify

Autify, Inc. is a start-up company founded in San Francisco by a team of engineers who were the first Japanese team to graduate from the top US accelerator Alchemist Accelerator. With the mission to increase creativity with the power of tech, we develop and provide Autify, an AI-based software test automation platform.

Markets are changing rapidly, and there is a demand for quick software releases. Agile development has become mainstream; on a global scale, 92% of developer teams adopt agile development, 71% of which aim to release at least once a week. With such a rapid cycle, manual verification is too time-consuming, and there is an urgent need for automation. Our services can solve these critical challenges and make our clients a competitive advantage in software development.

Over 300 companies have begun using their service since its official release in October 2019, and that number is continuing to grow.

QA’s global budget is said to reach over $1 trillion. We are rapidly expanding our service reach internationally to win this vast global market.
