UI/ Visual Designer

At Marfeel, we are seeking a talented and enthusiastic Visual Designer to imagine, prototype, iterate and optimize the next generation of mobile digital reading experience.  We’re looking for someone who values user experiences that are creative, seamless, effective, thoughtful and always delightful for our varied audiences.

As a part of our Design Team, you’ll weave iconography, typography, color, space, and texture together to help our users successfully navigate our products. We believe that all of our products should be beautiful and accessible. As a Visual Designer, you’ll delight users with designs that inspire, engage and excite them. You’ll rely on user-centered design principles to produce high-quality visuals—from concept to execution—across many platforms. You’ll collaborate with your fellow designers to constantly refine the Marfeel design language and create innovative, great-looking products that people love to use. We're interested in our users and strive to learn everything we can about their behaviors, attitudes, and emotions to help define the products and experiences we create. The UX team plays an integral part in gathering these insights and then using them to inspire and inform design.

There are so many fun and creative ideas that are waiting to be designed and built. If you feel like Visual Designer with lot of potential,  love designing great user interfaces and you want to leave your mark on the future reading experiences then Marfeel is the place to be.

Our headquarters are based in sunny Barcelona and our office has a huge terrace to enjoy.
