About us

Bakken & Bæck is a design and technology studio that helps companies break new ground. Building digital products, brands and businesses, we help ambitious companies identify, explore and respond to new opportunities. As one team working out of Oslo, Amsterdam, Bonn, Barcelona, and London, we have all the skill-sets needed to help businesses adapt to an increasingly complex world.

We believe the best teams are driven by people with small egos and huge hearts. We strongly believe in flexibility, care deeply about craft, and are at our best working closely together. We want BB to be a place where you can try out new things with the risk of failing, where you can take ownership over your own work, and where there’s a low barrier for coming up with ideas — no matter your job title or discipline.

About the role

As a Product Designer, you’ll help shape digital products from early exploration to launch. You’ll work with multidisciplinary teams and clients to turn complex ideas and technologies into clear, intuitive experiences.

You’re comfortable working through ambiguity, defining what matters, and shaping beautiful and impactful products. At BB, you’ll be part of ambitious projects that explore how technology and design come together in new ways.

What you’ll do

• Own design work end-to-end: from research and discovery, through prototyping, UI + system design, launch and iteration.
• Translate complex technologies, audience insights and stakeholder ambitions into elegant, intuitive digital experiences - combining strong design craft with a clear sense of purpose
• Collaborate closely with others across Brand, Engineering and PM teams. Developing a working understanding of their domains and how they intersect with Product.
• Be an active part of a collaborative team - giving feedback with care, building on others’ ideas, and helping shape our design culture
• Work with ambitious clients pushing the limits of their fields - from early-stage startups to industry leaders

Who we’re looking for

• 3+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows thoughtful solutions to complex problems
• Comfortable with ambiguity - you ask the right questions, create clarity, and move work forward with confidence
• Clear and proactive communication skills, with an ability to articulate ideas in both internal and client contexts
• Independent and collaborative: you take ownership of your work, welcome feedback, and thrive when working alongside others
• Proven experience delivering ambitious work in fast-moving, multidisciplinary teams.
• Genuine curiosity for emerging technologies, new tools and the evolving contexts in which they exist
• Interest in product strategy and storytelling

Don't check every box? Apply anyway—we value diverse perspectives and unconventional paths and can be flexible for the right candidate.

What you can look forward to

• Independence: BB is an independently-owned studio. We have the freedom to orient towards the projects we believe in, create a culture that is driven by people with small egos and huge hearts, and invest in long-term relationships with partners whose ambitions match our own.
• Autonomy: Our culture is built on autonomy, responsibility and mutual trust. Instead of being prescribed a way to do things, we have the freedom to explore and develop our own methods and approaches, and to learn by doing.
• Flexibility: We all have different needs when it comes to how we work. We are flexible on working hours, open to workations, and can provide opportunities to relocate to one of our other offices, as long as it doesn't hinder our projects and our team’s progress.
• Continuous Learning: We want to invest in your growth. You will receive an annual allowance to invest in a course, class or conference — whatever you need to stay inspired and learn new things.
• Doing things together: Collaboration lies at the core of our culture. Whether through trips or team dinners, we prioritise bonding experiences across offices when we can, fostering camaraderie and creativity.
• Our offices: We have invested in creating welcoming spaces that provide our teams with what they need. Beyond the day-to-day, we use our offices to host team events, talks and parties.

Because we want our team members to be actively involved in our offices, we do not consider remote applicants. Candidates must either be located in or have the ability to relocate to one of our office locations.
