Hey there! It’s Lab1 here. We’re a digital product design studio from Gdansk, Poland (EU). If you feel like changing your lifestyle and moving to the seaside, we guarantee you won’t regret it (we’ll help with the relocation if needed). And if you’d rather work from wherever you are, that’s no problem either — some of us are fully remote. It’s your choice.

Lab1 is a studio founded by talented designers who put quality first. We don’t do mediocre work. We only take on projects where the client agrees to run the design process our way, including key stages like empathizing, identifying the right problems to solve, research, ideation, prototyping and testing with users. That way you can rest easy, knowing that what we design will actually work.

As a UX Designer at Lab1, you’ll work on applications that are used by thousands of people and have a real impact on everyday life. We know how short-lived digital projects can be, which is why we mainly work where we can bring tangible value and see the product in action. Our clients are leaders in their industries: Circle K EV, Cognite, Rezolve, Dynatrace, AutoPay and Nuadu.

But let’s get to the point — there’s work waiting for you :) Together with our UI wizard, you’ll design products (ERP, CRM and mobile apps) for one of our key clients. Don’t worry, not all at once. To do that, you should have the following competencies at your fingertips:

• Analysis and mapping: Dive into the client’s business processes and digital tools and map them out, as a step towards understanding how they really work. Identify areas for improvement and back your recommendations with research and best practices.
• Client collaboration: Work with clients openly and effectively, and be ready to say “no” with tact and empathy. Balance advocating for the best design solution with respect for business priorities — so the result satisfies users and meets the client’s goals at the same time. Running workshops should make you feel right at home.
• Design expertise: Create best-in-class design solutions and user experiences in Figma, making sure they meet both user needs and project goals.
• AI in the design process: Use AI tools as an everyday accelerator — desk research, synthesizing interview notes, drafting discussion guides, exploring concepts and building clickable prototypes fast. Just as important: the judgment to treat that output as a starting point rather than a finding, and the care to keep client data out of tools it shouldn’t go into.
• Designing AI-powered products: An understanding of how AI features actually behave and what that means for the experience — conversational and agentic flows, keeping a human in the loop, showing sources and uncertainty, designing for wrong answers and edge cases, and earning user trust. Knowing when AI isn’t the right answer counts here too.
• Heuristic evaluation: Run systematic reviews of products to uncover usability and customer experience issues.
• Lo-fi mockups and user flows: Visualize ideas by creating lo-fi mockups and mapping user flows for stakeholder presentations and testing.
• Collaboration with UI designers: Work closely with a Senior UI Designer, who will finalize the UI and build the components, keeping handoffs smooth and everyone aligned.
• Usability testing: Organize and run usability tests with real users, turn what you learn into actionable insights, and iterate until the design solves the problem and meets both client and user expectations.
• Ownership and organization: Be highly self-organized and able to plan and prioritize your work independently. Define your own roadmap to reach project goals efficiently and proactively.
• Interest in design systems: A genuine interest in design systems and experience working with them.
• Analytics tools: Familiarity with tools like Google Analytics, UsabilityHub, Hotjar or Mixpanel is a plus.
• Project management tools: Experience with JIRA for managing tasks and collaborating in agile or iterative workflows.
• Soft skills and a positive attitude: A great sense of self-organization, a positive outlook on life, and a belief that people are generally okay :)

What we value:

• A track record of leading commercial digital product design projects from research through release, especially ones started from scratch.
• Portfolio. An impressive body of commercial work that shows the range of your design skills.

We value work-life balance at our studio, so you can work anywhere from 4/5 time to full time.
