UX/UI Designer (Part-Time Remote Contractor) / Contract / Paid
New York New York US
Alpha (alphahq.com) is a venture-backed and growth-stage company based in New York, NY whose on-demand insights platform empowers clients to rapidly validate growth opportunities.
Role Details
The Alpha Design Network consists of contracted designers from around the world who generate visual stimuli for user testing purposes.
Common examples of visual stimuli include:
– Mobile prototypes
– Desktop prototypes
– Comparison images (A/B testing)
We aren’t an ad or design agency – we work fast and we experiment often to see what works and what doesn’t. By joining the Design Network and fulfilling Design Requests, you are helping us generate visual stimuli crucial to our client’s testing needs.
Our designers work remotely, 10-15 hours/week each on average. The work is extremely flexible: you can pick up a short assignment based on your availability, and complete it in a few hours at home. Assignments are also available at night and on weekends, so you can work full-time and pick up work on the side.
As part of the Design Network, you’ll learn about the pain points that matter to our clients, the problems they are trying to solve, and the metrics they want to measure. It’s a valuable opportunity to work on actual products, and learn more about the product iteration process.
