UX-Designer

About Us

We’re Mellowdrop, a small indie studio based in Augsburg, Germany, and the team behind Niagara Launcher, a minimalist Android launcher with over 14 million downloads. What started in 2016 as a basement side project has grown into an app that helps millions of people declutter their phones. We’re a self-funded team of eight who genuinely care about building a cleaner, calmer phone experience, no ads, no bloat, no investors telling us what to ship. We are a very close team of relatively young people and actually like working together. 

What You'll Do

We’re looking for a UX Designer to help shape how hundreds of thousands of people interact with their phones every day. You’ll design and iterate on features for Niagara Launcher from early concepts to polished, shippable UI, building interaction flows and prototypes in Figma, contributing to our existing design system, and documenting your work clearly enough that engineers don’t have to guess. You’ll work closely with product, research, engineering, and marketing. This works best if you can be in our Augsburg office regularly, though we’re flexible about working from home some of the time.

Requirements

  • 2–3 years experience designing mobile products OR Bachelors Degree in UX / UI Design or related fields and 1 year of experience
  • Solid Figma skills, including working with component libraries and structured files and the ability to use and extend an existing design system
  • Strong visual fundamentals (typography, spacing, hierarchy)
  • Ability and interest to design clean, minimal interfaces; prototype interaction flows in Figma; document designs and collaborate with PM, UXR, engineers and marketing

Nice To Have

  • Android product design experience
  • Experience working on consumer apps
  • Experience in a startup or small product team
