About this role
Product Designer
CAKE.com
We're looking for a designer to help us elevate our software products further.
Who We Are
CAKE.com is a unicorn product-based company with a global presence in North America (USA), Europe (primarily in the Balkans), and Asia (Philippines).
We build products that power millions worldwide, including:
- Clockify – The world’s #1 time tracker, trusted by companies like Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, American Express, Amazon and many more.
- Pumble – The all-in-one team communication app.
- Plaky – A task management software for simple & visual project planning.
What You’ll Do
-
Design and improve interfaces that just make sense to our users. You’ll jump into problems with cross-functional teammates across the whole spectrum—one day tweaking a confusing error screen to make it friendlier, the next helping create a new massive cross-product feature from start to finish.
-
Build wireframes and prototypes in Figma or an agentic IDE to test ideas with stakeholders and show engineers what the final experience should look like.
-
Dig into how competitors solve tricky flows, and use those insights to make our own products better.
-
Keep our design system healthy and up to date, manage tokens, organize components, and add new patterns as we further develop our platform.
-
Make accessibility a natural part of your workflow, ensuring what we ship works well for everyone (meeting WCAG 2.1 AA).
-
Have a sharp eye for visual bugs and UX rough edges, and jump in to help smooth them out.
-
Turn messy product briefs into clean, intuitive designs that solve real user problems without overcomplicating things.
-
Own the visual identity of our products, making sure every screen feels cohesive, polished, and aesthetically pleasing.
-
Team up closely with product managers and engineers to turn ideas into shipped software.
-
Work with engineering directly on making sure the dev library and design systems are synced.
-
