UI/UX Designer (Middle)

UI/UX Designer (Middle) for a manga reading service. Remote, full-time, salary 220k RUB. Product design, component library, data-driven improvements.

We are a service for reading manga, manhwa, manhua, comics, novels, and original content. The product lives in three environments simultaneously: desktop web, mobile web, and native apps. Users read for a long time and return daily, so the cost of an interface error is high. An uncomfortable reader won't be tolerated; the user will leave to a competitor. Responsibilities: - Develop and maintain the current product design: component and style libraries, tokens, states, responsive designs for web, iOS, and Android, so new screens are assembled from ready-made parts. - Develop the product as a whole: home and showcases, catalog, search and filters, title card, reader, profile and personal account, subscription screens on all three platforms. - Develop onboarding and the first session: the path from first visit to first read chapter, registration, interest selection, the moment when the user understands why to stay. - Make the catalog navigable: a large catalog of titles needs to be organized with filters, genres, tags, and collections so that users find the next thing to read effortlessly. - Work with subscriptions: paywall, tariff screens, checkout and renewal, subscription management, reactivation. Revenue directly depends on these screens. - Maintain reading quality: the reader accounts for 50-70% of all views, so reading modes, navigation between chapters, gestures, dark theme, and behavior on slow networks require constant attention. - Rely on data: look at Yandex Metrica and PostHog, study session recordings and funnels, formulate hypotheses, design A/B tests, and analyze results with an analyst.

What we would like to see: - Excellent knowledge of Figma (components, variants, auto-layout, working in a shared library). - 2-4 years of experience in product UI/UX, with mobile and web products in your portfolio. - Show cases through task and result: what was wrong, what options were, what was chosen and why, what changed after. - Know iOS (HIG) and Android (Material) guidelines and understand where to follow them and where the product has its own logic. - High design awareness: follow strong products in Russia and abroad, analyze others' decisions and explain why they work. - Read metrics and formulate testable hypotheses. Basic level is enough, willingness to learn is mandatory. - Attention to detail: loading states, empty screens, errors, edge cases. - Ability to work with development: hand off a layout so it can be built without twenty clarifying questions, and verify the result in production. - Love finding cool tricks and know how to integrate them into the product. Nice to have: - Experience in content products: readers, streaming, media, content marketplaces. - Experience with subscription funnels and paywalls. - Accessibility: contrast, target sizes, support for system font settings. - Basic understanding of layout and frontend limitations. - Personal interest in manga, manhwa, and comics.

What we are ready to offer: - Contract as individual entrepreneur or self-employed. - 220 thousand RUB net (possible growth). - A lead-advisor who has built several large digital platforms and can help with advice (but all hands-on work is yours). - Payment for tools (we highly encourage their use). - A cool fresh brand book that needs to be applied to the current update. - A product with daily audience and fast cycle: your creatives go straight to production, and results are visible in real metrics. - A super team.
