Hi! 👋🏼

At Shakers, we're on the lookout for a Product Designer to take our Product team to the next level 🚀

1. Team and Role

If you have experience in product design, communication & storytelling skills, thrive in a dynamic startup environment, live in Valencia and are ready to take your career to the next level, we want to hear from you.

This role offers the opportunity to maintain and improve the Design System, run user tests, and co-create with the team, with the chance to shape the next generation way of working. If you’re excited by the prospect of working in a fast-paced, innovative environment, collaborating with a talented team, and making a direct impact, this is the opportunity for you! 🤩

2. What you´ll be doing

Your day-to-day as a Product Designer

• Designing: You’ll spend most of your day in Figma, crafting experiences for both clients and freelancers across the Shakers platform—on desktop, mobile, and sometimes tablet. If you have experience designing responsive layouts, that’s a big win—it’ll make your workflow smoother and more efficient. We always start by deeply understanding the design goals and constraints so every proposal aligns with the product vision.

• Running user tests: You’ll test your designs with real users to see what works and what needs a second round. At Shakers, we don’t design blindly—we like to test early, listen, iterate, and make informed decisions. That’s why it’s important you feel comfortable sharing your work, talking to users and stakeholders, and adjusting quickly when things don’t quite land.

• Co-creating with the team: We don’t design in isolation or in waterfall mode. You’ll be an active part of the Product Trio (PM, Designer, Dev), helping shape solutions from day one. The more you’re involved in the discovery and definition phase, the smoother everything else will go.

• Maintaining and improving the Design System: You’ll help keep our design system clean, up-to-date, and aligned with best practices—working closely with developers to make sure everything gets implemented properly. The best part? You won’t be alone in this. The team is very into design systems and eager to improve ours, so you’ll be joining forces with folks who love digging into components, patterns, and structure.

• Handoff & adoption: Marking a Figma file as “done” isn’t where your job ends. Together with PMs, you’ll help prep clear, structured developer handoffs, design onboarding experiences for new features, support internal comms or email creatives, and check that what’s built matches your specs. Precision matters.

Bonus (but actually important):

• Comfort in changing contexts + 360º vision: At Shakers, you’ll rotate across squads over time—sometimes designing for talent (supply), other times for clients (demand). That means switching users, problems, and priorities. If you enjoy adapting to new contexts and seeing the product from every angle, you’ll fit right in.

• Experience in marketplaces or multi-sided products: Our “double commit” model means balancing two very different types of users with interconnected needs. If you’ve worked in marketplaces, you already know: designing isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about understanding how every decision impacts both sides.

• Comfort expressing yourself in Spanish and English: We work in Spanish most of the time, but we’re growing internationally. Some tools, investor interactions, and key docs are already in English. If you can express your ideas clearly in both languages, that’s awesome. But don’t worry—English isn’t a barrier here. The whole team is actively leveling up, and what really matters is your willingness to learn and collaborate in both contexts. 😎

3. What we´re looking for

You´re a great fit if you...

• 🔁 Experience in fast-changing environments: We love people who thrive in (the good kind of) chaos. If you’ve been part of early-stage product launches—especially in Series A startups—and rolled up your sleeves to help take a product to market, this might be your place. Bonus points if you’ve worked at startups we recognize and can walk us through how design helped drive real success.

• 🤝 Collaboration in a techie world: We genuinely enjoy working as a team—sharing, questioning, building, and celebrating together. If you’re the kind of designer who loves working side-by-side with PMs, devs, and data folks, you’ll feel right at home. That’s why we’re looking for someone who doesn’t just speak the language of design, but also understands the rhythm of product, tech, and analytics. The best ideas here grow in collaboration—and the beauty of designing at Shakers is that you’ll never do it alone. That said, we’re also pretty serious about our methodology. Sprints and follow-ups are part of our everyday flow.

• 👩🏼💻 Real Product Design skills: We’re looking for someone who blends UI, UX, and strategic thinking. You should feel comfortable crafting beautiful, functional interfaces and building solid, user-centered experiences. Prototyping, testing fast, validating ideas with real users—that’s our way of working. If you’re someone who knows when to reference what already works in the market instead of reinventing the wheel, we’ll probably get along great. Oh, and attention to microinteractions? Huge plus.

• 💚 We’re flexible, but our Product heart beats in Valencia: Our team is spread between Madrid and Valencia, and while we embrace a remote-first mindset, the core of our Product team lives (and thrives) in Valencia. That’s where ideas flow faster, creativity sparks in casual chats, and collaboration happens naturally—sometimes even over a horchata 🥛🍊 If you’re already in Valencia or thinking about relocating, we’d be thrilled. Being close helps us build better, faster, and with more connection. Still, part of your daily routine will involve collaborating with teammates based in Madrid and beyond, so remote communication is also part of the game.

• 🗣️ Communication & storytelling skills: Designing well is just one part of the job. We need someone who can tell the story behind the design—clearly, visually, and verbally. Whether it’s presenting your work, organizing your Figma files so others don’t get lost, or handing things off smoothly to developers, you should be as good at explaining the why as you are at crafting the what.
