Looking for a new adventure? You’ve come to the right place. We're an Amsterdam-based team of 95+ (and counting) with 20+ nationalities amongst us! A varied bunch of “Citizens of The World” with a wide range of skills and hundreds of thousands of kilometers under our travel belts. And we have something important in common (other than our very well-worn passports): We want to change the way people travel. And that's exactly what we're doing, with the travel app to plan, track, and relive trips in a smart and beautiful way. Polarsteps has over 22 million users already, but, for us, this is just the beginning. We have big plans for the future, and so we need even more talented and enthusiastic people to help us on our journey. Want to know more about us? Here you go. Your expedition: Product Design at Polarsteps We’re a small team, doing big things. At Polarsteps, everyone, our CEO, support specialists, developers, product managers, and more, cares about design. It’s part of our DNA and embedded in every discussion. This gives you, as a Product Designer, the opportunity to make full use of your skills and craft your designs to perfection. Our relatively small team consists of like-minded design enthusiasts who can geek out over the nitty-gritty details–corner radius, shadows, colors–for hours. We are big on collaboration, challenge each other, and make meetings as fun as they are productive. We dream big, move fast and welcome ideas, from anyone. Your itinerary What your journey at Polarsteps will look like on a typical day. Lead the design of our “Digital Relive” team, focused on one of travel’s most meaningful moments: looking back on it all. We’re building new ways for travelers to relive their trips, both on the road and once they’re home, from in-app experiences to shareable formats like Trip Reels and Map Video. You will: • Oversee the full product lifecycle of concepting, prototyping, and iterating based on design reviews, user testing, feedback, and data like share rates. • Implement and maintain the existing design & brand guidelines while also creating and adapting guidelines to elevate the overall Polarsteps design, including the look and feel of our shareable formats. • Own your product pillar, while maintaining close collaboration with the other pillars. Proactively ask for and share feedback to keep our product smooth, consistent, and awesome. • Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to ensure your designs are well-specced and built as intended, down to the last pixel and color. The equipment in your backpack What we’re hoping you’ll bring with you. ✅ Being a seasoned professional with 5+ years of experience designing lovable products; ✅ A strong portfolio, with shipped designs, that demonstrates end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design, with a strong visual eye for typography, layout, and storytelling; ✅ Experience designing for native mobile apps; ✅ Hands-on experience with user insights and testing, like A/B tests and usability studies; ✅ A proactive mindset, with a passion for getting involved in the entire product development process, thinking and problem-solving like a product manager; ✅ Fluency in modern design tools such as Figma/Sketch or similar; ✅ Experience in prototyping tools such as Principle/Protopie or similar; ✅ Skills in partnering with engineers to drive QA processes and uphold implementation fidelity; ✅ A genuine interest in motion, video, and visual storytelling, and the curiosity to grow in it. You don’t need to be an After Effects pro, but you get excited about how things move and feel. Bonus points if you have: ✨ Hands-on experience with motion or video tools (like After Effects or Premiere), or with designing for social platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Not a dealbreaker if that’s not your world yet; it’s something we’re happy to grow together.   1st class extras Some cool things to make the journey extra sweet. • Salary range: Between EUR 75.000 - 90.000 gross per year incl 8% holiday allowance (based on 40 hours/week).
