Описание вакансии
🤝 Format: On-site / In-Office
💰 Salary: $1000 – $2000 USD (Net. Stable + Bonus + Equity as Tokens)
📍 Locations: Tbilisi (Georgia)
👋 We are Centaurea — a team of imperfect people with a passion to build good, useful software, in search of a formed Full-stack Designer (2.5+ years of production work) with style, taste, and established judgment. We're looking for someone who wants to build a serious product for impatient users, is willing to do the hard work, and finds more satisfaction in a boring signup flow that finally converts than in a shiny but empty Dribbble shot. If you want a culture that ships fast, chooses priorities deliberately, and accepts rough edges where they buy speed — but never on the flows users touch — you belong here.
⭐ Why You’ll Love It Here:
- Direct & Honest Culture We value truth over comfort. Stakeholders are demanding and don't sugarcoat feedback. Stand your ground with data, not emotion — be an adult who separates ego from work.
- Stronger by Fire Strong people sharpen fast here because the bar is high. We throw you into the deep end with real responsibility. Mess up — we fix it together and expect the lesson to stick the first time.
- Demanding Allies You'll work alongside professionals and founders obsessed with making the product better. They'll question your decisions and offer their ideas — as allies, not opponents. We save the fighting for competitors.
- No Ceiling We care about your output. Deliver results, solve problems — you move up, simple as that. Trust here is earned: first months, expect scrutiny; prove reliable, and delegation becomes near-total.
- Real Product, Real Impact There is nowhere to hide — but also no limit to the impact you can make. Your work will directly shape how our product communicates with users and make it worth listening to, and you'll see the numbers move up.
🔍 Who We Are Looking For:
We value trajectory and attitude over a perfect checklist. We want a human-first, professional-second finisher who owns their work without exception and cares deeply about the users and the team.
The Baseline (Experience) 📈
- 2.5+ years designing real UI/UX for real users, owning your piece of the work.
- Master of design fundamentals (principles, typography, color theory, grids, composition).
- Thinking in flows and systems, not screens.
- Figma at system level: components, variants, auto-layout, tokens.
- Judgment, style, and taste: AI can generate a hundred options — you know how to kill the 99 unnecessary ones.
- Prioritization: know where to push 105% and where an AI-gen bare minimum is enough.
- AI toolset: prompting, Midjourney, research, fact gathering on a daily basis.
- You understand code constraints (HTML/CSS) — you don't write production code, but down the road we're heading toward design-system components structured for markup generation (Figma → code). We'll teach the specifics; you should want that direction.
- 📌 Bonus: psychology of perception, motion, front-end skills, data-informed decisions.
The Mindset 🧠
- Emotional Stability and Curiosity You handle direct feedback without spiraling. Your drive comes from solving problems, not seeking validation. You listen to understand, not to reply. Your ⚡ breakthrough moments come from a desire to solve the user's pain, not to feed your own vanity.
- The Caretaker's Attitude You design for real, tired, distracted humans — who scan, decide in seconds, and leave. Every screen either respects the user's attention or wastes it.
- Finisher Approach Edge cases, empty states, handoff, and checking what the developers actually shipped. Design is done in production, not in Figma.
- Make It Belong The craft is making it fit the visual language that's already there. Most of real design work is maintaining and extending a living style — not reinventing it every sprint.
- Design Is Communication You are grounded not only in how to color a rounded button — you know how to express warmth, love, danger, empathy using the whole palette of visual tools to design the whole experience.
- Resource Responsibility You treat company resources (time, money, dev effort) as your own. You hate waste.
🎁 What We Offer
- Stability & Trust 100% official employment and white salary. We honor our commitments so you can focus on the work.
- A Real, Solid Product to Last Work done, shipped, used by real people. No endless negotiations with different clients, no work that dies in a folder.
- In-Person Collaboration Complex problems are best solved face-to-face. This is a 100% on-site role (no remote) to foster real connection. And a fun party to celebrate achievements and switch off from grinding time to time.
- Flexible Environment Comfortable offices steps away from the subway in Minsk or Tbilisi. We value output over strict hours, but we need you present.
- True Ownership Competitive wage + Performance Bonuses. For those who stay and build with us, we offer a token-based equity program. We want you to own a piece of the value you create.
💰 Salary: $1000 – $2,000 USD (Net. Based on skills & maturity. Stable salary + Bonus + Equity). As you unlock value and revenue, your compensation grows. We want a partner who shares in the victory.
⛰️ Beyond tokens, there's a partner track — not granted, but earned over years of honest and smart work for the company; one person in our history has walked it.

👉 Ready to do the real work?
Apply now if you are ready to focus on the work itself and build 🧱 something real. IMPORTANT: When applying, please answer this specific question (briefly, 3–4 sentences max, strictly no AI): Show one shipped screen or flow you designed (link or screenshots) and tell us what happened after release — metrics, user reaction — focusing on what didn't work as planned and how you'd redo that part now.
P.S. If you've ever fought for a 2px fix nobody else noticed — and also killed your own favorite idea because it wasn't worth its cost — we speak the same language. Good design is invisible. The best designers are not.
