[Remote] UX/UI Designer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Scotch is building the next-generation operating system for beverage alcohol retailers, and they are seeking a UX/UI Designer to own the design process from research to implementation. The designer will collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to create user-centered designs that address real user needs and enhance the product experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead discovery and research—user interviews, contextual inquiry, usability testing—and translate what you learn into clear design decisions that inform product strategy
• Define and own the design process from problem framing to shipped features: You’ll need to know when to apply more rigor vs when to rely on great product intuition to move faster user
• Partner closely with PMs to define requirements and challenge assumptions. Be the voice that asks 'Did we solve the right problem?' before we ask 'Did we build it right?'
• Collaborate with engineers to bring designs to life faithfully. Engage with our R&D culture—stay curious about frontend capabilities and be a driver of the evolving AI-assisted design/build loop
• Own and evolve our design system: establish patterns, maintain consistency, and raise the quality bar across the product
• Participate in the full product lifecycle, including contributing to roadmap conversations and post-launch iteration
• Bring a point of view—not just execution. We want a designer who challenges, improves, and helps shape where the product goes next

Skills

• 4+ years of product/UX design experience in a startup or fast-moving environment
• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end work—research, problem framing, and shipped product
• Strong visual and interaction design skills. You sweat the details that matter for users, not just aesthetics—and you know when to push and when to ship
• You are an expert researcher. You design discovery plans, synthesize findings fast, and turn ambiguous problems into clear design direction
• You've partnered closely with PMs and pushed back constructively. You help define the problem, not just solve it
• You think in systems, not screens. You care about patterns, consistency, and how designs scale over time
• Comfortable working alongside engineers in a fast-moving R&D environment—you understand implementation constraints and are comfortable building the plane while flying
• Proficient with Figma, Claude and able to prototype quickly to test assumptions and communicate behavior
• Experience designing complex B2B or operational workflows (retail, logistics, or similar)
• Familiarity with design systems—building them, maintaining them, and getting others to use them
• You actively use AI tools in your own workflow and are excited to design AI-assisted experiences that feel human and intentional
• Experience as a sole or lead designer
• Some exposure to frontend development or a strong mental model of how the design-to-build handoff works

Benefits

• Competitive equity package
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Unlimited flexible PTO
