About Smartly.io
At its heart, Smartly.io is a product company. We’re building tools that help our customers work smarter and grow their businesses.
We want to be the best in the world at what we do—building a world-class product and service for our customers. The only way to succeed is to stay humble yet ambitious. We ask for and act on candid feedback to learn continuously from both our customers and teammates. We don’t rest on our laurels, there’s always room to improve.
Position
Team Description
Our Product and Design team is responsible for crafting delightful experiences that make our users' lives easier.

Currently, we are missing Product Designers from our Top Gun (campaign automation) and Kino (video templating) developer teams. And yeah, our teams have weird names because we don't want to tie them indefinitely to a specific area ;)

The tool is used daily by the most talented marketing professionals in the world to create complex large scale marketing campaigns. Your role is to make these complex setups seem simple. You will work closely with customers and a specific developer team to build superb UX and deliver tangible value to our product.
