UI/UX Product Designer

We're hiring a mid-senior UI/UX Product Designer on a remote monthly retainer to own product design for client apps at Bolder Apps. You'll work directly with US-based founders and product owners, then hand clean, buildable specs to engineering teams that ship with AI-augmented workflows. We want someone who has run design end to end in an agency or product studio, not someone who only produces mood boards. If you can hold a client call, make hard product trade-offs, and leave Figma files engineers actually build from, we want to talk.

About Us

Bolder Apps is a product development studio that partners with US-based startups and established companies to build and scale innovative digital products. We specialize in AI-powered development, full-cycle product creation, and engineering team augmentation. Our mission is simple: build bolder, faster, and smarter.

Our Culture & Values (read before applying)

We move fast. We take ownership. We work with AI, not against it. And we expect everyone to bring ideas, not wait for instructions.

There are no daily checklists, no micromanagement, and no corporate politics. Instead, you'll have autonomy, trust, and a team that's always ready to help you grow. At Bolder Apps, impact matters more than titles, and curiosity matters more than seniority.

If you want a place where you can level up fast and actually see your work making a difference - welcome aboard.

Responsibilities
- Own product UI/UX for client mobile and web apps from discovery through handoff, across more than one engagement when the pipeline needs it
- Run client-facing design reviews, workshops, and async critique during US business hours, including the small talk that keeps trust intact
- Turn messy briefs into flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, and interactive prototypes that answer the product question, not just look finished
- Build and maintain design systems and component libraries so the next feature does not reinvent buttons, spacing, or states
- Partner with PMs and engineers on scope cuts, edge cases, empty states, loading, errors, accessibility, and platform conventions (HIG and Material)
- Produce Figma files engineers can build from: named layers, variants, auto-layout, redlines or tokens, and export-ready assets
- Use AI design and research tools to move faster, then review the output yourself before it reaches a client or a sprint
- Flag design risk early when the brief is unclear, the timeline is fake, or the product ask conflicts with platform or technical constraints
