Job Description
We’re looking for a creative, detail-oriented UI/UX Designer to join SongShift and help shape the next iteration of our user experiences and brand presence across SongShift and SongMix. From product design to marketing visuals, you’ll work alongside our senior design leadership to craft intuitive iOS and Web experiences, ads, social media graphics, and other creative assets that drive growth. You’ll be working closely with a small, fast-moving team to refine the look, feel, and flow of everything we put out.
In addition to conventional design tools, you’ll also be pushed to lean on tools like Claude throughout your process—for example, prototyping features as working code with Claude rather than stopping at static mockups.
Remote · Contract · $4,000 USD per month
Responsibilities
- Design new features and improvements for iOS and Web software, from user flows and wireframes to polished, high-fidelity mockups and prototypes
- Build, maintain, and evolve a cohesive design system (components, tokens, guidelines) that works across platforms and devices
- Partner with our engineers (Swift + ReactJS) to bring your designs to life, ensuring implementation stays true to vision
- Quickly iterate on feedback to improve the product while balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals
- Prepare production-ready assets (SVGs, icons, animations, etc.) and document your designs clearly for hand-off
- Make accessibility a key part of every design decision (think WCAG, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver support)
- Create ads, social media visuals, and marketing assets that align with the brand and drive user acquisition
- Help shape our visual identity through micro-interactions, brand illustrations, and consistent design language
- Find ways to make our design workflows more efficient with AI, from prototyping to asset production
Requirements
- A portfolio that shows thoughtful, user-centered work across mobile, web, and/or marketing/graphic design
- 3+ years experience designing digital products (freelance or professional)
- Proficiency with modern design tools (Figma preferred)
- A solid grasp of iOS Human Interface Guidelines and responsive web design fundamentals
- Strong communication skills—you can clearly explain your design choices to both technical and non-technical folks
- Location: Open to applicants anywhere in the world
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience working on music, creator, or audio-focused apps
- Motion design skills (After Effects, Lottie, or Framer Motion)
- Accessibility knowledge (especially WCAG 2.2 testing)
- HTML/CSS skills to assist in going from design mockups to coded products
Benefits
- Flexible schedule and fully remote—work when you’re most productive
- Influence product direction on a small, fast-moving team
At SongShift, we believe music should be easy to share and fun to explore—and building great tools starts with a team that feels supported and inspired. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome creatives from all backgrounds and experiences.
