Description

Mobile App UI Designer Tapadoo — Dublin Introduction At Tapadoo, we build mobile apps for companies that care deeply about quality, usability, and user experience. We work closely with our clients to create thoughtful, polished products that people genuinely enjoy using. We’re looking for a Mobile UI Designer to join our growing team in Dublin. This role is ideal for a designer who enjoys turning ideas into clear, elegant mobile experiences. You’ll work closely with our Lead Designer, developers, project managers, and clients to shape products from concept through delivery. We are particularly interested in people who: communicate well, think independently, enjoy collaboration, and are excited by how modern tools including AI and motion design are changing the design process. This is not a “throw designs over the wall” role. We value designers who are comfortable discussing ideas, iterating quickly, and contributing thoughtfully throughout a project. What You'll Do Design intuitive, visually polished mobile interfaces for iOS and Android apps. Collaborate closely with designers, developers, project managers, and clients throughout projects. Translate complex workflows and information into clear, usable experiences. Create and maintain scalable design systems and reusable UI patterns. Produce prototypes, transitions, and motion concepts that help communicate interaction and polish. Present and explain design decisions clearly and confidently. Iterate quickly based on feedback and evolving project needs. Help ensure implemented apps faithfully reflect the intended design experience. Explore and adopt modern workflows and tools, including AI-assisted design approaches where appropriate. Contribute ideas that improve both the product and the way we work. What Success Looks Like After joining Tapadoo, successful designers in this role tend to: become trusted collaborators across projects, confidently take ownership of design tasks, communicate clearly with clients and developers, contribute thoughtful ideas and recommendations, and help the team move faster and work smarter. We value people who can form strong opinions, explain their reasoning, and remain open to feedback and alternative viewpoints. What We're Looking For Experience designing mobile applications for iOS and Android. A portfolio demonstrating strong UI craft, visual hierarchy, typography, and interaction thinking. Proficiency with modern design tools such as Figma. Understanding of Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Google Material Design principles. Ability to communicate ideas clearly, both visually and verbally. Comfort working collaboratively in small, cross-functional teams. Interest in motion design, animation, transitions, or interactive prototyping. Curiosity about evolving design workflows and emerging technologies, including AI-assisted tools. A thoughtful, low-ego approach to feedback and iteration. Ability to move quickly from ideas to early concepts and refine collaboratively. Nice To Have These are not strict requirements, but would be considered a strong advantage: Motion design or animation experience. Experience working closely with mobile developers. Understanding of accessibility and inclusive design principles. Experience contributing to or maintaining design systems. Familiarity with implementation constraints on iOS or Android. Experience participating in client workshops or presentations. How We Work Tapadoo is a small, experienced team where collaboration matters. We believe good ideas can come from anywhere, and we value people who communicate openly, contribute thoughtfully, and support their teammates. We work closely with our clients and often involve designers directly in discussions and presentations. Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset are therefore just as important as visual design ability. We also believe that design is iterative. We value people who can get to “version 0” quickly, seek feedback early, and improve ideas through collaboration. Competitive salary based on experience. Generous pension scheme. Company-paid health insurance. Flexible and supportive working environment. Opportunity to work on a wide range of mobile products and industries. Small-team environment with real ownership and impact. Opportunity to shape how modern mobile design evolves within our team. Is This You? We know that great candidates don’t always match every bullet point exactly. If this role sounds exciting to you, and you think you could contribute positively to our team, we’d still love to hear from you. At Tapadoo, we value curiosity, collaboration, adaptability, and a willingness to grow just as much as experience.
