“

We don’t believe in being stuck in a boring 9-to-5; clocking in and clocking out. We believe that a job you love is a job worth doing. We work with purpose and meaning — for ourselves, and for our clients. (Also, we really f**king love building kickass products.) “

If you’re a UI designer interested in being part of a constantly evolving team, with the freedom to travel and work remotely, keep reading.

Melewi is building a team of kickass designers to be based anywhere on the globe (timezones GMT +6 to GMT +12).

We work with exciting startups from around the world and also with international brands like Heineken, Samsung and McDonald’s.

We’ll have fun, learn as we go, and create some damn amazing work! This is your opportunity to learn, create, and work towards your big goals, whatever they may be. We give a lot of trust to the right people, and that means you’ll find yourself often in the driver’s seat, helping us steer the company towards greatness.

What does working with us look like?

– We’re agile & always learning — We toss what doesn’t work and improve what does. We believe that there is no ‘best’, only ‘better’.

**We’re flat **— Communication is open between everyone regardless of position, gender, age or nationality; suggestions for improvement are open to all.

We’re ambitious & proactive — We’ve got big dreams, and we work hard and fast (and yes, we break things) to achieve it. Taking initiative is the standard. The business is in everyone’s hands, not just a select few.

**We’re flexible **— While we don’t compromise on the important things (work, culture, attitude, progress), we leave the less important things up to you (like where you want to work from, what you wear, and what times you want to work (with some stipulations)).

**We’re in this together and most of all, we’re fun! **— We’re aligned in our values, vision and goals and work together as a family. Work takes up too much of your life to not enjoy what you do. While we take our work seriously, lots of laughing can be expected too. ☺
