The team and your role

This role is based either in-office in Paris in our office in the 10th arrondissement, and/or remote in a timezone that is +2/-2h from CET. Any application outside these criteria will unfortunately be automatically archived.

We're a team of 25 today, and we're all about Product, FinTech and Open Source.

Our Product is really tech-driven, as we process and structure a lot of data, and build for developers so we have numerous exciting back-end challenges!

Your role includes

- Contributing daily to all parts of our product and design, utilizing our product and development workflow.

- Understanding customer needs and challenges.

- Contributing to answering to our customers' questions and making sure they have a great customer's experience- we all do at Lago

- Collaborating closely with engineers and other stakeholders to ensure a high-quality implementation

- Designing features and improvements that ship quickly and with high quality

- Creating flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals for product features

- Contributing to establish internal workflows that maintain our attention to detail and quality

The person we are looking for

- Takes initiative and delivers results: you take ownership of your work, operate independently while engaging in collaboration when needed, and ensure projects are completed with a focus beyond just surface-level design.

- Is curious and solution-oriented: eager to understand how things work to craft the most effective design solutions.

- Is passionate about design excellence: you strive to create best-in-class UX, UI, and interactions, tackling challenges with creativity and precision.

- Has a proven track record: your portfolio showcases exceptional product designs created in dynamic, fast-paced environments.

- thinks strategically and systematically: you can navigate complex interaction design problems with clarity and innovation

- Communicates effectively: you excel at expressing ideas through documentation, visuals, and prototyping tools (we use Figma).

- Has exceptional design skills: your visual, UI, and interaction design abilities stand out as industry-leading.

- Is excited about early-stage product development: you thrive in shaping the future of a product and are enthusiastic about co-creating Lago’s next chapter.

We’re looking for someone who is not just a designer but a collaborative partner in shaping impactful solutions.
