A·Team is hiring a remote Senior Independent UX/UI Designer. You must be located in the Americas, Europe, or Israel to apply.
A·Team matches small teams of the most talented builders in the world with companies backed by a16z, YC, Softbank, General Catalyst, etc. on a contract basis for many of their most important initiatives.
As part of A·Team, you can expect:
- High-paying, meaningful missions with the most audacious companies sent your way; generally $90-$150/hr, with vetted, fascinating clients doing work that matters.
- Work alongside friends old & new: our niche is small/diverse product teams, since clients with larger budgets and higher-impact work tell us they want teams, not individuals.
- Full autonomy: say "no" to things that don't excite you.
- Small, curated, off-the-record gatherings: for conversations hard to have elsewhere.
- Keep 100% of what you earn: if you charge $120/hr, you get $120/hr.
What you’ll do:
- Once part of A.Team, you’ll regularly be invited to impactful missions that match your interests. Take your pick from early-stage incubations with world-class founders, to fast-growing super-funded companies, to old school non-tech incumbents looking to build as a tech giant would
- Missions usually involve building an ambitious piece of software from 0 to 1 as part of a small 3-4 person team.
- You’ll be paid to scope it out, give the client options, guide strategy, and execute on the selected solution. Sometimes the client has a clear vision, sometimes not; which is why A.Team builders tend to be senior folks who can work together to find the right direction.
Who A·Team is for:
- Senior UX/UI Designers who left large companies and high-growth startups to pursue their craft with autonomy.
- Those who prefer consistent contract work over a full-time role, who want to create a variety of new products alongside other top-tier builders.
- The majority of A.Teamers spend most of their time doing independent work, but a sizeable percentage are either employed full-time (but testing out client work), bootstrapping a side project, or looking for their next big thing
Who A·Team is not for:
- People looking for small gigs
- Folks looking to build simple wordpress/wix/squarespace-style websites
- Those still early in their careers (<4 years) and recent university/bootcamp grads (at least not yet)
Our long-term vision:
A·Team is a new type of company for a new kind of independent software builder. We call them "unhirables": people who traditional companies couldn’t hire full-time even if they wanted to, but who want to do their most meaningful work with their favorite people in small, autonomous, distributed expert teams.
To help us secure amazing missions, we raised $60 million+ from Insight Ventures, Tiger Global, NFX, RocNation, along with the former CEO of Upwork, the founders of Fiverr and Lemonade, Apple's Global Head of Recruiting, YC Partner Aaron Harris, Wharton's Adam Grant, and Duke's Dan Ariely.
