Widget Designer Example posting
These are example postings: the shape of the roles KOA Labs is hiring for. The salary, the closing date and a phone number are placeholders — Miguel still has to fill them in.
About the role
A widget is the small piece of a product that lives inside someone else's screen: the order panel inside the shop's system, the summary card inside the accounting tool, the reply button inside the WhatsApp thread. Nobody asks for it by name; everybody feels it when it is missing or when it is ugly.
You design those pieces and write the rules they follow. You work with the engineers who build them, not around them. You will argue about spacing, about what happens when a name is very long, about the difference between a button and a link — and you will be right often enough to be worth listening to.
We care about the boring parts: keyboard, screen reader, a phone in the sun, a loading state that does not look broken. Most of our clients use these tools all day, every day.
What we ask for
- You have shipped interfaces people use every day, not only pretty ones.
- You can draw in Figma and argue for a spacing decision.
- You think about the keyboard and the screen reader without being asked.
- You write copy in Spanish, and you know when to leave it to someone else.
- You can work as a contractor, per piece, with clear scope.
