About the Team
The Gojek Design Team is made up of 150+ designers spread across 2 countries and ~12 product teams and ~10 central teams (IxD, motion, illustration, writing, etc). We believe there is too much friction in our daily lives and everyone deserves an opportunity to make a living. And technology can help solve both of these.
We have people from a wide range of backgrounds and skills. Among us we have designers who are experts in Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Product Design, UX Writing, Illustration, Service Design, UX Research, and Motion Design. Together we envision, create and support products and services that meaningfully improve the lives of our customers.
We’ve come a long way since 2015, when we were a small central team of 15 designers working away intensely to build and support products that were scaling at an unprecedented rate. Our challenges were not just designing the products and not being the bottleneck, but also to educate everyone around us on what design is, and why it makes sense to always start with the users, and work backwards.
As an important part of this team, we’re looking for a very experienced design leader who will have the opportunity to define the future of how people discover new restaurants, order food and experience the joy that comes with having great food delivered to them.
