About SnowGroup snowgroup.ca SnowGroup is building the full-stack digital backbone for winter sports travel, connecting 150M+ skiers and snowboarders to transportation, lodging, rentals, lessons, and local experiences.

Design is not decorative here. Design is infrastructure, conversion, culture, and trust. Priority Design Roles We’re Filling We are hiring for multiple distinct design roles. You may be strong in one role or multiple. Say which lanes you can own. 1. UI Designer (TOP PRIORITY) This is the most critical design hire. You own high-fidelity product UI across SnowClub, booking, marketplace, and front-side experiences. You will: Design production-ready interfaces (not concepts) Work in Figma only (components, variants, systems) Design for dynamic, stateful, front-end-driven products Collaborate tightly with frontend engineers (React / React Native) Ship clean, modern, conversion-focused UI at speed UX thinking is welcome — but UI execution is mandatory. 2. UX / Interaction Designer You own clarity across complex, multi-stakeholder flows. You will: Design user journeys across travelers, groups, and vendors Define flows for booking, group coordination, resale, accounts Think in systems, not pages Prototype and validate interaction patterns This role can be combined with UI if you’re strong in both. 3. Brand / Visual Designer You own SnowGroup’s brand expression in-market. You will: Design landing pages, campaign assets, crowdfunding visuals Translate brand into high-impact marketing surfaces Maintain consistency while moving fast Support storytelling, not just aesthetics This is about execution, not mood boards. 4. Illustration / Iconography Designer You give SnowGroup character. You will: Create custom icons, illustration sets, UI accents Design empty states, loyalty visuals, map cues, badges Help the product feel human, not generic travel tech 5. Design Systems / Production Designer You own scale and consistency. You will: Build and maintain component libraries in Figma Define patterns used across multiple products Improve handoff quality and velocity with engineering What “Founder-Level Designer” Means Here You don’t wait for instructions You see gaps and fill them You care about outcomes, not optics You’re comfortable being early, messy, and accountable You think in systems, not screens Titles matter less than ownership Engagement Details 4–8 week pilot (prove it works) Deferred compensation Equity / success bonus tied to continuation Remote and async-friendly Direct access to founder and core decision-makers Job Types: Part-time, Temp to perm Benefits: Work from home Work Location: Remote
