Together, we’ll work on projects ranging from customer onboarding, in-app messaging, brand expression, color themes, accessibility, data visualization, core app functionality, and design system maintenance. We’ll also work together to push the design system forward and answer the question of “what might the future of CallRail’s UI look like?”.

• Advocate for our design system, including design standards, resources needed, pattern consolidation for efficiency and usability, and more
• Perform occasional UI research to make improvements to our UI design patterns

About the Design Team

At CallRail, the design team heavily values close collaboration, honest critique, mutual respect, and strong work ethic. Together, we have transformed and evolved the user experience within our products to support our customers as well as other internal teams. We are passionate about solving problems both externally and internally, investing in each other, and building out the best team possible. 

 

Working Remote vs. Office

In The Before Times™, our team worked 3-5 days/week out of our office located Downtown, Atlanta. We enjoyed catered lunch once a week and easy access to many local restaurants, parks, and MARTA within a few blocks. Mario Kart 8 races occurred frequently. And we often worked face-to-face in our ‘design studio’ room to share ideas, chat, and enjoy each other’s company.

Currently, we are fully remote, but plan to return to the office part-time when it’s safe to do so (and we feel comfortable). The UX design team will tentatively return on a limited basis (2-3 days/week) and continue to work from home the rest of the time as we are doing now. Because we built our design team’s culture around tight collaboration and getting to know one another, we are not currently hiring a fully remote position. So if you’re local to the Atlanta area and you think you’re a fit for this role, we would love to connect!
