About us:

Since 2013, we’ve helped millions of people around the world invest safely in crypto. We do this by cutting through the hype and supporting customers at every step of the way. All products and cryptocurrencies on our platform must first meet stringent legal, risk and technical security standards.

Transparency is key for us. Luno stores all crypto on a 1:1 basis and we have rigorous processes in place so you can be confident your investment is secure. We’re available in more than 40 countries around the world and we work closely with respective regulators in all of these markets to be fully compliant, as we believe this is the best way to help everyone, everywhere, invest safely.

About the team:

Exploring, designing, refining, and improving our product experience is what we do best. We demonstrate that caring for our customers, our craft and our design principles leads to better business. Our multidisciplinary design guild consists of Product Design, UX Writing, central Product Design Foundations (consisting of Design Operations and design specialists such as a UI specialist, Principal Product Designer and Product Illustrations), Customer Research Operations, Brand and Creative Design.

Luno is a ‘remote but reachable’ company! At Luno, we trust that people can do their work effectively anywhere and provide Lunauts with the flexibility to decide where they do their best work. For some of us, that’s at home for the majority of the time, for others, that might mean joining other Lunauts in person at one of our Luno workspaces more often. Luno is built on our relationships, so we still value in-person connection and have a minimum expectation of spending time in person once a quarter. So as long as you are based in one country with a Luno workspace, we want to hear from you!

The role in a nutshell:

You will design solutions for undefined problem spaces with a highly collaborative, cross-functional team of engineers, product managers and data scientists. Additionally, you are a recognised, trusted expert who is constantly looking to sharpen your user-centered approach. You’ll bring this drive and artistry into a well-established, embedded team of Product Designers and UX writers with a focus on crafting experiences that deliver value

Your mission will be:
  • Working closely with product managers, developers and UX writers to fully realise a feature or product.
  • Conceptualising, wireframing and designing customer friendly experiences and prototypes that are both intuitive and engaging solutions to complex design problems.
  • Translate UX (structure) to UI (surface) according to platform-specific requirements and produce development ready designs.
  • Be the champion of our customer’s needs and discuss both benefits and hurdles of various design solutions with stakeholders, defending those that you believe in.
  • Build product experiences based on data and analysis: perform desk and field research, build prototypes, conduct user interviews, perform usability, QA and A/B testing.
  • Actively run experiments to validate ideas and hypotheses.
  • Continually keep yourself and the rest of the design team up to date with the latest trends, techniques and technologies.
  • Contributing to the evolution, maintenance and adoption of our design system.
  • Working with people who love building products and mentoring fellow design contributors through coaching and feedback.
A little about you:
  • Proven track record of end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design experience for Android, iOS and web.
  • A well-rounded, strong portfolio demonstrating your UX and UI design process and impact.
  • Strong creative problem solving, interaction design and prototyping skills and you’re capable of conducting user research and visual design work.
  • You love design; you’re not satisfied with the status quo and obsessed with finding ways to improve!
  • Proficient in popular design tools (e.g Figma, Sketch, Craft, Abstract, Miro). A strong knowledge of the Google Suite is an added bonus.
  • Experience working in agile teams, with strong communication skills for articulating, discussing, and advocating design decisions with developers, copywriters and product owners.
  • Excellent working knowledge of design systems, including Material Design and Human Interface Design.
  • Experience in dialogue flow best practice and designing chatbots is advantageous.
  • Experience in application security UX and KYC-like compliance processes would be advantageous.

Don’t be put off if you don’t tick all of the boxes – they’re a guide based on what we’d love to see
