EPIC is looking for a talented UI/UX Designer to join the design team!
Efficiency that looks smooth AF. This is how we like to define our designs. And to fulfill our promises, we are currently looking for a new member to join the second most creative team of the agency, right after our corporate finance and GDPR regulations taskforce (those guys are crazy).
Could it be…YOU ?
Can you relate?
- You have a great sense of aesthetic, composition and balance. You are curious about art, graphic and motion design;
- You see the world through grids, spacings and contrasts;
- You recognize your favourite fonts on billboards in a heartbeat and your eyes bleed at the sight of a questionable color swatch;
- You believe your designs are clear and effective interfaces made to be liked by human brains. They make users’ journey smooth and delightful;
- You turn business objectives into graphical components that guide users through any kind of content;
- You never settle for the status quo and are constantly challenging things in a fun & exciting way;
- And last but not least… No matter how unique and gifted you are, you are a team player and you have fun building things with others. We’re not looking for a design guru…we’ll settle for a very skilled nice human being.
You know a thing or two about web design
- You master a web design software (ideally Figma).
- You are able to use the Adobe Creative Suite. Photoshop and Illustrator are a must, After Effects and inDesign are a plus;
- You design with reusability in mind. You name your layers and create legible style guides. That will insure a smooth relationship with your colleagues from the dev team;
- You are able to think and maintain design systems in the long run;
- You are able to design exciting and engaging interfaces. Just like in real life, structure and organisation don’t mean boredom;
- You can wireframes and sketch interactive prototypes that live up to the client’s expectation;
- You WILL make your client’s eyes sparkle and tear up from happiness when presenting your designs. A key part of your role is to explain and defend your creation.
- When facing clients, you come up with thoughtful arguments and the right amount of pedagogy and empathy;
- You’re fluent in French and know your way around English;
- Having a hidden superpower such as being an amazing illustrator, musician, dog dressmaker or whatever secondary art skill is definitely a plus.
Your daily job
- For each project, you’ll participate to meetings and workshops where you’ll be invited to ask questions, challenge assumptions, sketch solutions and provide insights;
- You will have to sketch wireframes, collect inspirations and create moodboards. With the help of the creative director and your teammates, you will make your way into designing the project’s interfaces, components, micro animations, prototypes and styleguides. The whole process takes several days or weeks depending on the size of the project;
- On a daily basis, you’ll discuss usability issues with the team and keep an eye on the development and integration process from the early stages to the last finishing touches right before the release;
- The projects you will work on will vary in type, size or sector. From promoting a children app for hyperactive kids, to building a huge platform for an internet provider, or even designing an infinite runner game interface, your job will bring its share of surprises and challenges;
- Depending on your skills, there will be a lot of opportunities to work on brandings, animations, illustrations, 3D modelling, typography, print design…
Your work involves a lot of discussions with colleagues, clients and users. Most of them are nice, smart or funny, the rest will haunt your dreams (but not for long, we tend not to keep those around).
Benefits of the position
- Company laptop
- Cell phone plan paid by the company
- Food vouchers
- Eco vouchers (to buy plants or train tickets)
- Mobility plans
- Personal continuing training budget
- Health insurance (DKV)
- Flexible schedule (no, it doesn’t mean you can come in whenever you want; but you won’t be yelled at for not sitting a your desk at 8.30 sharp)

- Yearly holiday pay
- Yearly bonus according to the agency’s financial results
- Chocolate at Saint-Nicolas and Easter (if you have been good)
