About Blue
Throne

We don’t just build apps.
We scale indie mobile products into global powerhouses.

With 80M+ downloads, 20M+ MAU,  and a lean team of doers, we move fast and aim high.  In just three years, we’ve hit $14M in ARR, 100% organically, driven by bold bets, five strategic acquisitions, and two successful exits.  Our mission: unlock the full potential of i
OS and Android apps through sustainable growth and continuous innovation.

We’re a team of entrepreneurs, product thinkers, marketing experts and builders who thrive on creativity, speed, and results.  If you like turning ambition into action and ideas into impact, you’re in the right place.

 You’ll fit right in if you:

• Prefer freedom over fixed schedules - remote, flexible, unlimited time off.
• Naturally curious and love driving real impact for users and the business.
• Can wear multiple hats - we love experts, but we also value jacks of all trades.
• Keep things cool, calm, and collected - save the drama for your llama.
• Like challenges and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to win.
• Believe in working smarter, not harder - focus on productivity and results, not punching the clock.
• Follow your passion and have fun while doing work that actually matters.

What are we looking for? ?

We’re looking for a seasoned product designer who’s been around the block and knows how to ship.  You’ll lead the design of our immigration app and internal tools.  In a few months, you might be shaping the experience for a
- new app we acquire, whether it’s AI-powered or not.  Things move fast here, and nothing stays still.

This isn’t a one-product job.  You’ll work across a diverse mix of apps, each with different users, problems, and opportunities.  One month, you’re untangling a complex immigration case journey; a few months later, you’re crafting an entertaining, social experience that people actually want to share.

Ultimately, you must be passionate about turning user tears into product cheers.

Before you get too excited ?

This isn’t your typical design role. We’re not here to make things “look pretty” and call it a day.

We’re looking for builders who:

▸ Love messy problems: from 1 → 10 or 10 → 100, you know how to bring ideas to life from scratch.
▸ Believe speed and quality go
-
- hand.
▸ Have worn many hats before: founding designer, early employee, design lead, or you’re just
- ass at your craft.

You’ll have a ton of freedom, but also full accountability. No hiding behind specs, no “just the visuals. ” You’ll help decide what we build, not just how it looks and feels. We’re a small, scrappy team. This is not a 9-5 job. We move fast, priorities shift, and sometimes you’ll work on more than one app at a time. It's a place for people with raw intellect, grit, and the hunger to build something that matters.  

If you want chill, predictability, and perfect design systems,  this isn’t for you.

But if you want ownership, chaos, and the chance to build products people care about,  we should talk ?

What you’ll be doing

• Set the design vision and lead all design efforts for the core product, making sure every experience feels seamless and connected.

• Break big ambitions into incremental steps that guide the team forward.

• Design functional, emotional, and accessible experiences, balancing ideal UX with
  - world
  - offs based on technical constraints, experimentation strategies, and business priorities.

• Own every stage of the design process from discovery, journey mapping,  wireframing, prototyping, to pixel-perfect UI.  

• Understand users deeply by running research sessions,  reviewing insights, analysing data, and running lightweight experiments when needed.

• Partner with product, growth, monetisation, analytics, and engineering to drive the team from problem discovery to solution discovery to shipped product.

• Collaborate and communicate in a way that amplifies the voice of our users and influences the business and product strategy. Remain humble and open to feedback while not shying away from expressing your own opinion.

• Raise the design bar at Blue
  Throne by helping to shape our culture, share knowledge, and push our community of practice forward.

What you’ll need to succeed

• You have extensive experience in designing and shipping successful mobile consumer products and internal tools in
  - paced,
  - growth environments, ideally at
  - seed, seed, and Series A startups where speed, ambiguity, and ownership are the norm. Start-ups are your natural habitat.

• Expert at designing for i
  OS and Android, but comfortable working on desktop too, where most of our internal tools live.

• You sweat the UI details but know when to zoom out and connect the dots, creating cohesive,
  -
  - end experiences.

• You design for everyone, not just people who look like us. Inclusive design and accessibility aren’t afterthoughts.

• You make
  - reasoned
  - offs and advocate for great UX.

• You start from first principles and aren’t afraid to challenge industry norms. You’ve built products that tackled
  - standing user problems in new ways instead of copying competitors.

• You understand that writing is designing where your copy is intentional, concise, and always part of the experience.

• You’re flexible and fluid in your approach to work. With enough research, you can develop a point of view on market outlooks and cultural trends. With enough debate, you are capable of changing that point of view.

• You bring product sense and design sense in spades, and you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get
  - on.

• You communicate clearly and work effectively across diverse teams and working styles, challenging ideas thoughtfully and influencing decisions without ego.

Bonus points ?

• It’s great if you’ve worked on Fin
  Tech or other regulated products handling lots of sensitive data, but it’s not essential.

• Extra credit if you’ve got skills in motion design, animations, and visual effects AND 100 bonus points if you’ve played around with Rive.

The interview process ?

1. Talent call (30 mins): Discuss your motivation, experience and vision alignment.
   
   
2. Portfolio review + live challenge (75 mins): A deep dive into your portfolio, walking us through your design thinking, craft, and
   - solving skills.
   
   
3. Operating style (45 mins): We’ll explore how you operate: how you think, make decisions, and collaborate with
   - functional teams.
   
   
4. Final call (30 mins): A conversation about your leadership, builder mindset, product judgment, and
   - term fit within the team.

Our average process takes about 3-4 weeks, but we will always work around your availability. Being Speedy Gonzales is important to us as it is to you. ?
