Senior UI & UX Designer

October 23, 2026

Lemon.io helps companies in the US and Europe hire experienced engineers & designers, from funded startups to teams like Klarna, Retool, and Pinterest. We’ve been doing this since 2015, and more than 1,500 companies have hired engineers through us.

New roles for Senior Designers come in all the time, and several are open right now.

Two ways to work with clients

Contract: most roles are contract-based. You join the client’s team and work as part of it.
Direct hire: some clients hire designers full-time, and we support you through the process.

Because companies trust our vetting, applying through Lemon.io is often a shortcut. You get to the client faster than going through their full hiring process on your own.

What you get

Competitive rate, based on your seniority and skills
We find the projects. No client hunting or rate negotiations. We match you manually based on your skills and preferences.
Flexible schedule. Work async or with a small overlap with the team’s hours.
No micromanagement, no screen trackers
Direct work with clients, most of them with technical backgrounds
Ongoing support from your application through every project, plus a community of engineers from 75+ countries

Who we’re looking for

Senior UI & UX Designers:

5+ years of experience in UI & UX Design
3+ years of commercial experience with Figma & 5+ years with Prototyping, OR 5+ years of commercial experience with Figma & 3+ years with Prototyping
Experience with Adobe is required
Experience in Product design is a must

Senior Graphic Designers:

5+ years of experience in Graphic Design
5+ years of commercial experience with Adobe Creative Suite & Adobe Illustrator

Strong design craft — as a Senior Designer, you're expected to build polished, production-ready work from scratch, with a solid grasp of design systems, component architecture, and how your decisions translate into real product or brand outcomes.
Clear and confident communication in English — advanced ability to discuss creative briefs, defend design decisions, and flag blockers early. Strong self-presentation is essential, particularly on client calls.
High ownership, zero hand-holding — you thrive working full-time remotely, manage your own time, and consistently hit deadlines without being chased.
Reliability — we need to trust you completely. If you commit to something, you deliver it. If something changes, you communicate early.
Fast ramp-up — you can absorb project context quickly, align with existing style guides or brand directions, and start producing valuable work within the first days, not weeks.

Once approved, we match you with a project. Typical time to first project: 3 weeks
