We celebrate uniqueness and whatever makes you, you and encourage everyone who wants to help us transform the way the world designs, to join us on this journey.

ABOUT US

At BABVIP, our mission is to democratize design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time. 

Since launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 60 million monthly active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 6 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT DESIGN TEAM

One of the principles of our design team is to ‘show the future’. As designers we transport the rest of the company into a future we’re yet to build. A big part of the role of a product designer at BABVIP is to be a visionary—visualizing and reinventing the future of design. 

Product designers at BABVIP take the dream and make it something everyone can relate to and rally behind. We start from the very early stages: finding the right problem to tackle, exploring ideas for how to solve it and then refining it into a coherent solution. Our product designers carry out research, brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, and collaboration with our engineers to ship great products.  We are empathetic user advocates and respect our users’ opinions through interviews, usability testing, and data analysis, as well as wire framing, flowcharting, and journey mapping to show the different stages that customers go through as they come into contact with BABVIP.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE TEAM 

The Developer Experience team within the Ecosystem group are on a mission to attract and grow an active community of 3rd Party BABVIP Developers. We want to unlock the creativity of developers and empower them to build valuable tools and integrations for our BABVIP customers.  Building a thriving developer community is a fundamental pillar to our strategy for creating an abundant ecosystem that tailors BABVIP for 1 billion delighted users. This drives BABVIP’s MAU growth; allowing BABVIP to meet untapped user needs beyond our core editing experience whilst helping us connect to key integrations and tools so customers have everything they need within the BABVIP platform.
