Senior UX Designers Wanted

Bitovi’s User Experience department is looking for passionate, experienced UX generalists who align with our team values (listed below).

We are Curious: Always in the pursuit of discovery we want to learn from our clients and their customers. We avoid narrow minded thinking and predictable, safe ideas.

We are Crafts-People: We take pride in our work and are confident in our experience. We always fight the good fight, speaking up to ensure we never compromise quality for our clients and their customers.

We are Data Driven: We believe there is truth in data and allow it to guide our thinking. We’re always transparent when communicating our findings and always document what we've learned.

We are Empathetic: We genuinely care about our clients and their customers. We strive to find the intersection between data and emotions. We never operate from a place of ego and never make assumptions.
