You'll design and level up pdf.net

It's an online PDF editor with thousands of users. You'll design new features, polish existing ones, test hypotheses and iterate. Basically — build product. Specifically:

✨ Create user interface (of course!). Create clear, intuitive, and visually appealing UI. Craft high quality work, inspire those around you, and help establish a design culture within the company.

🔍 Run qualitative and quantitative research. Conduct usability tests, interviews, A/B tests, and dig into analytics. Use any relevant formats and tools — it's all up to you.

🦅 Holistically own features. Understand the product as a whole: design UI, map user flows, design feature-specific landing pages, write the copy yourself (our copywriters or company Claude/GPT will help if needed).

🤝 Collaborate. Work side by side with 3 other designers, a product manager, and engineers.

You'll do that in a healthy environment

🧘 Lightweight culture. No micromanagement, no crunch, love replacing meetings with Loom, organize around flat roles vs hierarchy. We value balance because when we're living well, we're working well.

🔮 Data driven. We have Amplitude, A/B tests, quick interview hiring services, easy access to user support messages, and other perks. Plus we have Tolik, our analyst, who can pull any data or help you understand complex stuff.

👁️ Design culture. Almost everyone here has good taste and understands design. Great ideas often come from developers or managers — and that's awesome.

🌱 We love to learn and grow. We provide mentorship and will be happy if you mentor us too. We pay for courses, books, subscriptions — minimal hassle, no approvals needed (within reason, of course).

⏳ Both product and process matter to everyone. We “own” our tasks, deliver them on time, warn if something is wrong, and sound the alarm if something goes wrong with product delivery.

🧶 We're a team and we care about it. We visit each other in person, spend an hour or two on Fridays to gather and chat about what's new in our lives. We have a random coffee Slack bot that matches two people (opt-in) for chats.

What kind of designer we need

This is a wishlist for the perfect person who doesn't exist. If most of these sound like you and the rest strongly resonate, don't hesitate to reach out!

💠 Figma pro who actually understands the tool. Components, auto-layouts, all good. Can design anything from icons to drop zone components with all states and properties, or even the entire product from scratch.

🦑 You're a design generalist focused on interfaces. You write your own UX copy and know why plain English matters. You can optimize a landing page for conversion or draw an onboarding illustration if needed.

🎛️ Excellent visual, UI, and interaction skills. You have sharp intuition for accessible mental models and flows so users immediately gain value from the product.

🖥️ You've built great web tools with small remote teams for 5+ years. You've worked on web editors, dev tools, or document-oriented products.

🧭 Product mindset. You care about business needs, implications, and design practicality. No getting stuck on pretty UI or deep abstractions — you balance craft, speed, and the bottom line. Done > perfect (sometimes).

🌀 You're obsessed with fast feedback loops. You can't rest until you see people using your design. You regularly set up user interviews, usability tests, A/B tests, and sometimes your curiosity leads you down the rabbit hole of anonymized analytics in massive spreadsheets.

🐝 Team player. Strong verbal skills, give constructive feedback to other designers, and crave diverse feedback on your own work.

🧵 You can handle end-to-end: design a feature UI, plan its user flow, create a landing page for it, and write the copy yourself.
