Bending Spoons is a technology company that acquires and operates digital businesses, including WeTransfer, with a focus on innovation, operational excellence, and deeply integrated AI. The UX/UI Designer will shape intuitive product experiences, collaborate with product managers and engineers, prototype with AI and design tools, validate designs with customers, and identify high-impact product improvements.
Shape high-leverage product experiences. Design exceptional UI and UX—from early concepts to polished delivery—using the best available tools to explore more directions, move faster, and raise the quality bar. Ensure every experience is intuitive, effective, and delightful
Start with an LLM. Use AI tools to clarify intent, draft short specs, and surface risks, edge cases, and initial approaches before opening any design tool. Use this work to align quickly with your team and compress the time from ambiguity to direction
Prototype and build with AI. Use Cursor and Claude Code to turn rough concepts into interactive prototypes and generate production-ready frontend code. You know when to reach for code and when to reach for Figma—and you move fluidly between both to get the best result
Co-create with PMs and engineers from day one. Define UX requirements early, stay in the build through QA and release, and make engineering-aware design decisions
Validate and measure. Talk directly with customers, run quick tests, and use what you learn to adjust direction. Track funnels, retention, and adoption to assess design effectiveness and sharpen what ships next
Find the highest-leverage bets from the backlog. Identify where product improvements can unlock business value, align stakeholders around them, and move fast to deliver
