Hybrid / 6-month contract (with view to permanent) – Isle of Man

At Designbase, we’re building a new kind of digital design agency — one that moves as fast as the tech we use. Our subscription model offers unlimited design & development requests to startups, founders, and teams that want to get things done fast and done right.

We’re now looking for a Junior Product Engineer — someone who loves to build, design, prototype, and experiment. This is a hybrid role blending product design, development, and problem-solving, perfect for someone at the start of their career who wants to learn, grow, and make real things that ship.

You don’t need to know everything yet — if you’ve got a good grasp of Figma and Webflow, and a hunger to learn the rest (Framer, AI tools, Supabase, Langflow, etc.), that’s exactly what we’re after.

🧩 What you'll do:

• Help to develop product ideas based on client needs, turning raw input into tangible concepts.
• Identify user problems and build functional prototypes using low/no-code tools.
• Conduct market and competitor research to find smart ways to stand out.
• Design and build websites, landing pages, and mini-products using Webflow, Framer, and Figma.
• Help shape and launch internal tools and micro-startups (like jobsearch.im)
• Test, iterate, and improve products with real user feedback.
• Use modern tools and workflows (Zapier, Langflow, Leap, etc.) to automate and accelerate what we do.
• Work flexibly — in the office, remote, or on-the-go when we meet clients around the Island or in the UK.
• Collaborate with a small team (only 2 of us), and a series of fantastic clients.

🎁 What we offer:

• A 6-month contract with potential to go full-time/permanent.
• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Hybrid, flexible working: some office days, some remote, some on-site with partners.
• A chance to build cool stuff with modern tools and AI workflows.
• Be part of a small, ambitious, fast-moving startup redefining how creative work on the Island gets delivered.

🚀 About Designbase:

We’re a subscription-based design and development agency built for modern brands. No hourly rates. No outdated briefs. Just unlimited design and dev — fast, flexible, and obsessively high quality. Inspired by startups, powered by tech.

💡 What you bring:

• A good working knowledge of Figma and Webflow.
• Curiosity for design, development, and how tech can solve real-world problems.
• Interest in AI tools, low-code platforms, and building fast, functional prototypes.
• Bonus if you’ve dabbled in tools like Framer, Airtable, Supabase, or Langflow — or want to learn them.
• Some experience with user research or market analysis (or a willingness to learn).
• Proactive mindset – you don’t wait for answers, you go find them.
• Based on the Isle of Man (or happy to be here part of the time).

🧠 Tools we work with:

Webflow, Framer, Figma, Airtable, Lovable, Leap, Cursor, Supabase, Vercel, Pitch, AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Llama), Automations (Zapier, N8N), Workflow Builders (Langflow), and more.
