About the role
As Taskly’s UI/UX Designer (you may know the role as Product Designer, UX Designer or UI Designer), you design the screens where people post a task, compare offers and agree a price. Posters are often deciding whether to let a stranger into their home, so every screen has to show who, how much and what happens next. A task can be one line or a full page of detail, and the same layout has to handle both.
You’ll work with engineers building in Next.js and Tailwind, and with the founder on priorities. In six months you should have redesigned one end-to-end flow, usability-tested it with posters and Taskers in both Canada and India, and added components to the shared design system that others reuse.
What you’ll do
- Design end-to-end flows in Figma for posters and Taskers: posting by typing, voice or photo, comparing offers, messaging and the Tasker workspace. Start from the real flow, not a blank canvas.
- Maintain the design system, including components, variables, type scale, spacing and light and dark themes. Retire the one-off patterns that creep in.
- Design mobile-first, then scale up to desktop, and hand off specs that match the Tailwind tokens engineers use. Annotate states and edge cases, not only the happy path.
- Prototype key interactions such as offer comparison, upload progress and error states, and test them before they are built. A clickable prototype beats a long explanation.
- Run usability tests with posters and Taskers in Canada and India, five sessions at a time. Turn every finding into a change or a reason for none.
- Design the trust moments: the Tasker profile, identity verification, the 4-digit door code on arrival and the dispute screens.
- Review builds with engineering, catch details that drifted from the design, and fix them before release.
What you’ll need
- 2–6 years designing shipped digital products, shown in a portfolio that explains your reasoning, not only final screens.
- Advanced Figma: auto layout, components, variants and variables.
- Experience designing mobile-first interfaces and responsive web.
- Experience running usability tests or user interviews and acting on what you learned.
- Working knowledge of accessibility: color contrast, tap-target size and keyboard and screen-reader basics.
- Clear written rationale: you can explain a design decision to an engineer in a pull-request comment or a short Loom.
Education: A design degree is welcome but not required; a portfolio of shipped work matters more.
Nice to have
- Experience at a marketplace (Airbnb, Uber, Urban Company, Swiggy, Airtasker, TaskRabbit, Upwork) or another two-sided product.
- Motion and prototyping skills in Framer, Principle or After Effects.
- Comfort writing HTML, CSS or Tailwind so you can check your own designs in the browser.
- Experience designing for several languages or scripts, including Indian languages.

About Taskly
Taskly is a marketplace for getting anything done. Someone posts a task in their own words — typed, spoken or as a photo — and people who have been reviewed and approved send offers at a firm price. They pick one, and it gets done: a TV mounted, a website built, a parent taught to use their phone. We’re live in Canada and India and opening to more countries, built by a small team that works remotely across India, the US, Canada and the UAE.
