Freelance Web Designer at Mindrift in Portugal

Mindrift is looking for a highly skilled Web Designer to join the Tendem project (**https://tendem.ai/**) and create high-quality web designs for real-world use cases. In this role, you'll apply your expertise in UI/web design, layout, and visual communication to transform briefs and concepts into clean, on-brand, and implementation-ready web designs. This part-time remote opportunity is ideal for creative professionals with hands-on experience in UI/web design, marketing pages, and digital visual communications.

What We Do

The Mindrift platform connects specialists with innovative technology projects. Our mission is to help develop high-quality AI technologies by combining real-world expertise from professionals across the globe with advanced AI development efforts.

About the Role

This is a freelance role for a Tendem project. As a Web Designer, your focus will be on marketing pages, landing experiences, and conversion-driven layouts. We need a core specialist dedicated to owning the look and feel of all web-based materials, ensuring they feel consistent, polished, and perfectly aligned with the broader brand ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

• Design high-converting one-pagers, pitch-style landing pages, and simple marketing sites based on textual copy, outlines, or existing drafts.
• Translate brand assets and social media visuals into responsive web layouts, structured components, and sections that can be easily implemented by developers or no-code tools. • Prepare and securely package production-ready files (organizing Figma frames, exporting assets, and detailing specs) for seamless handoff.
• Ensure absolute visual consistency between interactive web pages, static PDFs, and social materials.
• Enforce layout quality standards through systematic verification of responsiveness, proper spacing, clarity, and adherence to modern web trends prior to delivery.

Educational qualifications

• At least 2 years of relevant experience in web design, UI design, digital marketing design, or visual communications is desirable.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Web Design, Graphic Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), or related creative/technical fields is a plus.

Academic and/or Professional Experience

Candidates must have a strong portfolio heavily focused on landing pages, marketing websites, and product or startup one-pagers demonstrating clear hierarchy and strong typography. We are looking for specialists who are confident working from rough prompts, AI-generated drafts, or existing brand systems to convert them into structured, implementation-ready web designs. A user-centric, conversion-minded approach and the ability to work independently are essential.

Technical Skills (Essential)

• Web & UI Design: Deep proficiency in Figma for creating scalable, responsive web layouts, auto-layout components, and comprehensive design systems.
• Conversion-Driven Layouts: Expertise in structuring high-converting, pitch-style landing pages with a strong eye for clarity, spacing, and modern design trends.
• Developer Handoff: Solid understanding of how to prepare, spec, and package digital assets for efficient implementation via developers or no-code platforms (e.g., Webflow, Framer).
• Cross-Platform Consistency: Ability to seamlessly translate core brand aesthetics across varying touchpoints, ensuring web pages match existing social materials and pitch decks.

Additional requirements

• A structured, user-centric, and conversion-minded approach to design.
• Strong eye for clarity, white space, and modern web layout trends.
• Self-directed work ethic with the ability to troubleshoot independently and deliver production-ready assets fast.
• English proficiency: Upper-intermediate (B2) or above (required)
• Your CV must include a link to your portfolio with web design examples. Applications without a portfolio link, or without relevant web design cases, will not be considered.
