Hello UX Designer!

Are you a keen advocate of Design Thinking methods? 

Do you know what it takes to validate a business idea? 

You cannot imagine life without Figma, Sketch, or Invision? 

If the answer is yes, then you are a perfect candidate for the UX Designer role at LeanCode!

Craftsmanship first

In our projects, we push Figma to its limits by creating beautiful and programmable Design Systems. Our UX Team cooperates hand at hand with developers to ensure everything is aligned and the information provided in the designs is exhaustive in terms of all interactions, animations, and edge cases. We organize two-weekly sessions with experts from the industry to enhance growth and promote the learning process.

UX goes beyond mockups

While working with our clients, we use many Service Design techniques that help us identify the pain that the end-users are experiencing and enable us to offer solutions to their problems. We are evangelists of the Lean Startup approach (as described by Eric Ries), which forces the teams to get out of the office and investigate the business need, discuss it with the client, and promote the interviews with end-users.

Our Design process starts with interactive workshops that take from two to five days (as designed by Jake Knapp in Google Sprint guidelines), during which the Proof of Concept is often created. When the solution is validated, it is further analyzed in an iterative fashion to offer new features that are regularly released to the actual audience to build the MVP. This process helps us to stay aligned with the end-users’ needs and deliver the highest value.

About LeanCode

LeanCode is a software studio based in Warsaw (Poland) with a strong focus on building great products that matter. We are a team of 60+ skillful developers, UX designers, and product owners. Our mission is to solve real-life problems using cutting-edge technologies while keeping the user at the heart of the product.

Our clients represent different industries, from banking and insurance through retail and Medtech products up to SaaS solutions. This gives our team plenty of room to explore new businesses and master challenging domains.

We work for companies from all over the world (at the moment, that is: Poland, Germany, the UK, the USA, Australia, and China). We join forces with the clients at the very early stage of the process. Thanks to that, we have a substantial impact on not only the organizational aspects of the project but also on how the developed product actually works and looks. This approach requires very close cooperation with the clients, including frequent workshops and day-to-day meetings with them.

We are truly agile

At LeanCode, we actively use SCRUM with all its artifacts and ceremonies. Our self-organizing development teams are headed by Product Owners, who are responsible for delivering digital products in close cooperation with the UX/UI Designers and Business Owners on the client side. Our approach guarantees the best organization and the highest efficiency, contributing to a great atmosphere within the project teams.

This approach is also both demanding and challenging for UX Designers who need to understand the business environment for their projects better. Therefore, this role is suited for candidates who are willing to develop and learn new business skills while delivering state-of-the-art digital solutions.
