Hey, we're Shield 👋We have growing pains and we are looking to find an enthusiastic, positive and energetic UX/UI hybrid with flair for implementation through front-end frameworks. This position is for individuals who want to expand their global network and grow professionally and personally in a fast-paced startup environment - while adding a bunch of value to the company. For the right candidate, your opportunities at SHIELD are infinite.

Who are we?

We're a Copenhagen based tech startup with a small, tight-knit multinational team and a diverse mix of backgrounds (14 people, 9 nationalities, 20/80 gender split). We help companies empower their employees to become brand ambassadors on LinkedIn, we help marketing agencies help their clients, and we help professionals build and grow personal brands. We do this through a commercial dashboard solution, bringing stats and analytics to LinkedIn through Software-as-a-Service.

Who are you?

You live in or around Copenhagen, you're empathetic, have a flair for pushing pixels into the right places and creating a seamless user experience. You're generally interested in tech, and you know what constitutes good design - both aesthetically and in terms of designing delightful user experiences, making it easy for users to get their job done.

You are a self-starter, meaning you will find or create solutions to the problems and challenges we encounter.

A normal work day could include:

• Understand our users / customers

• Work with the product team on new ideas

• Sketch out solutions (pen/paper)

• Build prototypes (Figma/Sketch)

• User testing (internally / externally)

• Iterate on most promising prototypes

• Implement solutions (from design to code)

• Make a bunch of releases

• Ad hoc tasks across ui/ux/product

What we offer

We offer an international environment with a mix of cultures and a wide variety of professional backgrounds, with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow both personally and professionally.

The position is paid, and is estimated to 15-20 hours per week.

You will be joining the team at our Copenhagen office, located centrally at Nørrebro close to the lakes and public transportation (literally right outside the door). We recommend biking, though.

We are flexible around exam periods and do allow for remote work when/if this is more convenient at times. For example when the government decides to lock everything down due to covid19.

For the right candidate, joining Shield is a growth opportunity like no other.

We have experienced growth since day 1, even through the pandemic with no external support or funding. Ever.

We are purely customer financed through revenue.

Your qualifications

You likely study in or around Copenhagen. However, we believe in talent and drive more than diplomas. You are fluent in written and spoken English.

Need-to-have:

• Open and social mindset

• An interest in technology and social media

• You take initiative and is not afraid of failing (and learning from mistakes)

• You possess tenacity and determination

• You are detail-oriented and structured

• You thrive in a sometimes chaotic and fast-paced environment

• You have a positive attitude and willingness to learn and grow

• Fluent in written and spoken English

• Other languages is a plus but not necessary

Apply now

If you are still here, send your application today. We conduct interviews on a continuous basis and look to bring on the right candidate as early as March 2021. Maybe sooner, if you're the perfect match.

We encourage you to apply regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or otherwise. We look for someone with an open mind who wants to learn and get the job done :-)

(!) It's a requirement that you can be physically present with us at the SHIELD HQ in Copenhagen (when covid19 allows, hopefully)

(!) Be personal in your outreach to us. Make us want to respond. Be you. A generic message will get a generic reply.

(!) Oh, if you really wanna stand out - do some work for us already to show what you're all about. Design a UI element, show a direction for Shield on mobile, whatever comes to mind. We need operators who are not afraid of making moves with limited information at hand. Thank you :-)
