Proximity Lab is hiring a Principal UX/UI Designer to work as a key senior member of our small but mighty team. In this role, you will work alongside product strategists, researchers and designers to shape products and experiences for some of the most well-known companies in the world.
You'll enjoy great benefits including paid time off during our company-wide shutdown the last week of the year and flexible work location. For this role, strong preference will be given to someone in the New England area for those times where it makes sense to collaborate together in our Portsmouth, NH office.

You're particularly passionate about creating novel solutions to complex problems and representing them as strong visual concepts, usable interactions, and beautiful interfaces. You know that UX and UI are inextricably linked and that your work is equal parts strategic problem-solving and visual design with deep consideration for technical implementation. Your love for design means you need to be involved with the work, understanding customer needs, quickly solving complex problems and crafting thoughtful and elegant solutions.
