Shape is an award-winning app-focused digital product studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark. We are known for building high-quality mobile apps that tackle real problems and push businesses forward.

At Shape, you will work closely with talented designers and developers to build awesome digital products. You will put your existing skills to good use, and learn new ones by working together with other skilled people.

We hope that you also want to share your knowledge with co-workers and assume you are as eager to follow the newest technology trends as the rest of us.

What is more, we've just launched our new brand following the exciting union of Shape and Bontouch, forming the leading international digital product agency, Framna. Our joint mission is to deliver unmatched business value for our partners by crafting superior digital products with unparalleled customer experiences. With over 400 employees across offices in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Zurich, New York, London, Åre, Östersund, and Kalmar, we're set to continue growing organically and through strategic acquisitions.

THE ROLE
You’re a talented UI/UX Designer ready to conceptualize ideas, define intuitive user experiences, and design appealing interfaces. We’re an award-winning digital product studio crafting native products used by millions of people worldwide. Perhaps we’re a match made in heaven?

You are a passionate team player with a healthy obsession with details. You roll up your sleeves, get out the magnifying glass and find a solution to the problem, and you don’t sit on your hands waiting for someone to tell you what to do next.

You know the difference between what looks good and what works, and you don’t mind presenting your work to others. Feedback is your friend, and you enjoy the added bonus of working directly with our clients.

SOME OF THE THINGS WE LOOK FOR...
• 2 - 4 years of work experience in the UI/UX design field.

• A portfolio including mobile-first product designs that showcase your visual and interaction design abilities.

• Ability to present both your work, the thought process behind it, and the value it represents.

• Experience with design tools like Figma or Sketch. (We work with Figma, so familiarity with Figma design systems is considered a plus).

• Some experience with prototyping as a means to explore and convey design solutions.

• Strong conceptual thinking and ability to think strategically about a digital product.

• Experience in collaborating with diverse teams in receiving and giving feedback.

• Professionalism with the ability to deliver solid work within agreed deadlines.

AS OUR UI/UX DESIGNER, YOU WILL BE...
• Conceptualizing new products alongside our designers and clients.

• Designing flows, interactive prototypes, wireframes, and high-fidelity visual designs.

• In contact with our clients during design phases.

• Working closely with the engineering teams to ensure a high-quality user experience in the final product.

• Running an open design process from idea to implementation, where sharing your work and soliciting feedback from your peers is a natural part of your workflow.
