Overview
About Courted
Courted is the leading AI-powered platform for real estate recruiting, retention, and market intelligence. We help brokerages and teams understand agent performance, recruit strategically, and retain top talent – all in one place.
The real estate industry moves over $100B in annual commissions and it's still powered by spreadsheets, cold calls, and guesswork. We're changing that with data, workflow, and machine learning – making every recruiting and retention decision smarter. We're a high-growth SaaS company shipping fast, working smart, and building transformative tools for the next generation of real estate leaders.
We care a lot about the work and very little about titles. We debate ideas, not people, fix things in daylight, and try to keep a sense of humor while doing it.
The Role
We’re looking for a UI Designer with 5+ years of experience to own high-fidelity design work across our product.
This role is focused on visual design and interface clarity. You’ll be working from defined UX flows, low-fidelity wireframes, and product requirements – your job is to take that foundation and turn it into polished, intuitive, and production-ready UI.
We already have a strong UX foundation and design system in place. Where this role comes in is elevating the visual layer – bringing structure, hierarchy, and clarity to complex workflows, especially in areas where the design system doesn’t fully answer the problem.
This is an independent, async-first role. You’ll be expected to take a brief and run with it, bringing a clear point of view to design reviews and making thoughtful decisions – not just executing what’s in front of you.

- •Job Title: UI Designer (Contract)
- •Location: Remote or Hybrid NYC - must be available to work EST hours
- •Hours: 10-20 hours / week (flexible based on project needs)
- •Compensation: $75-$100 / hour
- •High-fidelity designs for net-new product features
- •Translating UX flows and wireframes into clear, well-structured interfaces
- •Visual problem-solving beyond the design system – new patterns, layouts, and data presentations where needed
- •Interfaces for complex, multi-step workflows where clarity and usability matter as much as aesthetics
- •Engineering-ready Figma files with proper component usage, variants, and annotations for build
- •You’ll receive workflows, requirements, and low-fidelity designs from the UX and product team
- •You are not responsible for defining the UX, but you are expected to understand it and ensure the final UI makes sense
- •You’ll work independently and present designs with rationale during review
- •You’ll prepare final design artifacts for engineering handoff; implementation QA will be handled by the core team
- •5+ years of UI/product design experience, ideally in SaaS or a data-heavy product environment
- •Strong visual design instincts – you can make something look excellent, not just consistent
- •Fluency working within an established design system, and the judgment to extend it tastefully when needed
- •Experience with complex product UI – data-dense screens, graphs, tables, dashboards
- •Expert-level Figma skills: hi-fi design, prototyping, component architecture, and clean handoff files
- •Comfortable working independently and showing up to design review with a point of view
- •Not a UX ownership role – you won’t be responsible for defining product flows or strategy
- •Not a pure execution role – we’re not looking for someone to just “make things pretty”
- •Not a marketing or brand design role – this is focused on product UI

The early access thing actually works. Applied to a role at 6am, recruiter told me I was one of the first 10 applicants. That never happens on other sites

Been in the industry 12 years. This is the first job board that feels like it was made by someone who actually understands what designers are looking for. Simple as that.

Somehow every job here feels hand-picked? Like someone actually looked at it before posting. Rare for job boards these days.

Left my FAANG job last year. This site helped me find a fully remote role at a smaller company with way better work-life balance. No regrets
