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

We are looking for a Product Designer with a broad skill set to join our design team. Here you’ll be responsible for concept development, researching user and business needs, and designing elegant, easy-to-use solutions to meet those needs. You'll play a key part in multidisciplinary, integrated teams, and see a project through from the very first brief to launch (and beyond).

Your role will focus on all parts of the digital design process — right from defining the product through to crafting beautiful, easy-to-use interfaces and prototypes. We’re looking for someone who enjoys tackling complex problems, and designing smart and simple solutions for digital products.

We're more interested in what you want to learn and how you want to grow rather than the length of your experience. It's also important to us that you’re a team player who can collaborate well with developers, clients, and other designers.

Qualifications

• 3+ years experience with high quality digital product design on multiple platforms

• A strong ability to turn business requirements, stakeholder goals, and user needs into solutions

• Experience designing user flows and interactions for complex digital products

• Experience working on every phase of the product design process

• Ability to work both independently and as part of collaborative cross-disciplinary teams

• Strong communication skills: you can articulately explain and document your process, present your work, and communicate your design decisions

• Proficiency in Figma and the ability to see what tools fit the job

Nice extras, but not a must

• Excitement about ML/AI applied to product design

• Experience implementing data-driven strategies

• Storytelling/comms skills relating to products

• Experience designing for custom devices

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.

• Relocation support — If you’re moving to join us, we’ll help make the transition as smooth as possible with visa sponsorship and guidance, a travel budget, and thoughtful settling-in support — from housing tips and language classes to a buddy, welcome bundle, and a team outing to help you feel at home. The relocation package varies somewhat by location.

Because we want our team members to be actively involved in our offices, we do not consider remote applicants, but we’re happy to support relocation to come join us!
