Product Designer - UI/UX (App & Innovation) (all genders)

Job type: Full Time · Department: Product · Work type: Hybrid

Vienna, Vienna, Austria

We love the magic of memory keeping

At Journi, we’re on a mission to build the world’s most-downloaded printing app.

With over 10 million users worldwide, we help people turn their favorite moments into beautifully designed Photo Books and Prints. Our smart AI makes the process fast, simple, and joyful, so our users can spend less time editing and more time reliving their best stories.

As a Product Designer, you're part of two teams. In our Innovation squad, you'll partner with Product Management (PM) and Engineering to explore new product concepts and business opportunities. You'll work in a zero-to-one environment where products don't have product-market fit (PMF) yet. Your craft and ability to validate concepts will help us find ideas worth building and accelerate their path to PMF. You'll also join our Experience Design team. There, you'll work with other designers, researchers, and analysts to shape our practice.

If you thrive in ambiguity and get excited about discovering what will truly resonate with users, we'd love to hear more! Please include your CV, portfolio, and cover letter with your application. Applications without a portfolio will be rejected.


🚀 What you'll do

  • Design and validate zero-to-one concepts. Move from rough ideas to testable prototypes that increase confidence and reduce risk. Explore different visual identities for concepts that feel like Journi

  • Support PM and Engineering with problem framing. Collaborate to balance user needs, business opportunities, and technical constraints before designing solutions

  • Run lean research with support. Choose the right methods to validate assumptions as you lean on research experts. Share insights that move the team forward

  • Thrive in ambiguity and change. Pivot when you learn something new. Embrace the fast-paced, iterative nature of finding PMF

  • Encourage user-centered thinking. Remind teams to focus on solving customer problems in meetings and workshops


🎒 Your bag of tricks

  • 2+ years designing mobile apps. Show us a mobile-focused portfolio with strong craft, cross-functional collaboration, and tangible impact

  • Solid UX fundamentals. You're competent at interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and can run user research with lightweight support

  • Base understanding of information architecture and service design. If this is an area where you’re experienced, even better

  • Experience validating early-stage concepts. You've successfully used research and experimentation to accelerate products toward PMF

  • Solid Communication & Presentation Skills. Your excellent English helps you to present design work, facilitate workshops, and explain your decision

  • You have the right to work in the EU/Austria and are based in Vienna or open to relocating


✨ What we offer

A happy team makes for a happy workplace. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without our team, and that’s why we offer:

  • A fair annual gross salary starting at EUR 54,000. Our final offer depends on your experience and qualifications.

Plus, a bunch of awesome social benefits, such as:

  • Daily fuel: breakfast, Italian-style coffee, tea, and fresh daily lunches in our in-house eatery, with options for most dietary preferences

  • Go places: we reimburse your public transport card for Vienna

  • Team first: join our yearly team-building Journi to exciting destinations
