We are expanding our operations in Africa and in India in the next quarter.
We have a small and multi-disciplinary product team that is very focused on data and is led by our Founder. Our goal is to make the shopkeeper successful by generating more profits in her store by following the advice from the Tiendatek Coach every star needs a coach!. We therefore need to understand the way a shopkeeper thinks and build a flawless and smooth experience for her. As with other aspects of our business, we aim to work as professionally as any startup in the Silicon Valley but it is key that you keep our mission at heart.
The UX Designer will help us drive the product forward by developing a deep understanding of how a shop works and how their first computer our tablet can help it work better. This key role will define workflows, build wireframes for rapid prototyping and run usability tests. The job is more about designing fluid interfaces than pretty ones. The challenge is to design a tool that becomes the shopkeepers second hand on a mobile computer that is used all day long, ensuring the many required features still feel simple and intuitive. You need to create emotions in our users and make them feel at home.
