Hello
We're Happy Scribe, a 100% bootstrapped and profitable startup, based in Barcelona.
We are on a mission to break language barriers globally and bring audiovisual content to all.
We are building the #1 Audiovisual Platform by combining state-of-the-art AI with trusted language experts to produce high-quality transcriptions, subtitles, and AI dubbing at speed.

About the role…
This is a hybrid role, based in Barcelona.*
As our third designer on the Happy Scribe team, you’ll join the newly-formed Services Squad to define and create the language workforce of tomorrow. You’ll partner with a cross functional team of specialists in machine learning, agentic LLMs, general software engineering the language industry and a technical Product Manager to reinvent how audio visual languages services are delivered.
Your mission will be to create awesome tools that empower our teams to go above and beyond what’s currently possible. You’ll need to use a mix of agents, software and linguists to deliver our services on time, on budget and on quality. Doing so you will play a crucial part in defining and building the future of how an entire industry works. If successful, we expect this to reshape our 100b market.
*Happy Scribe is office-first, remote-friendly. This means we value in-person collaboration and aim to spend most of our time working together at the office, but we're also flexible and happy to accommodate your needs to travel or work remotely when necessary.
What you will do…
* Deliver intuitive, user-centred experiences across the entire service journey.
* Play a key role in redefining the future of work for linguists by leveraging AI to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and improve the quality of language services.
* Work fully autonomously from discovery to delivery; you will be in charge of pursuing user research and converting it into delightful product user experiences.
* Create a design vision for new features and products, driving engagement and excitement throughout the company.
* Collaborate with teams across different functions, including AI engineers and language experts to bring your flows to life.
What you will bring…
* 4+ years experience as a UX designer, with a focus on delivering exceptional user-centred designs to complex problems.
* Strong interest in working on AI features and designing for technical user base.
* Strong research skills: you know how to conduct user interviews, run usability tests, and analyse qualitative and quantitative data to inform design decisions.
* A clear design methodology: you know where you're going and have actionable plans (A, B, and C) to achieve your goals while staying focused on user needs.
* A strong entrepreneurial mindset: you thrive in scrappy, fast-paced environments and aren’t afraid to share early iterations to gather user and team feedback. You ship to learn.
* Proven experience leading complex UX initiatives driven by deep user insights and needs.
* Strong communication skills to advocate for research and design insights, influence roadmaps, and align stakeholders around a shared vision for the user experience.
Bonus points if…
* You’ve previously designed for AI solutions with human in the loop reinforcement.
* You’ve previously been part of creating and defining the ownership area of a squad.
* You’ve been an early designer at a rapidly growing team, helping establish foundational UX and research practices and contributing to a strong design culture.

Company Culture
Have an impact on millions of people — Change how users and language professionals make transcriptions, translations and subtitles.
Work with a small team of bright people — When we talk with most people, they have a hard time understanding how we got so far with so few people. Looking at this, we're close in ARR to a typical Series B company, but our ARR per employee is 10x the industry average.
A company culture built on trust, autonomy, and independence.
Infinite runway, no investment pressure. We are 100% bootstrapped and profitable. Every penny spent comes from happy customers who are paying for a product they value. Many tech companies are laying off staff because they grew too fast and need funding to survive. We prioritised profitability and sustainable growth, and are not impacted by funding shortage.
️ In-Person culture — We believe nothing beats the magic of great people working together in person, in and outside of working hours. We work together, and spend time together: expect laughter-filled conversations over shared meals. The rule of thumb is 80/20 (80% in the office and 20% where you want); you have flexibility to work from abroad or at home when needed.
We make it work — Have kids? Live far away? Do you have a non-normative life setup? The thing we care the most about is the team. Once we know we want to work with you, we make it work and we can flex the 80/20 rule.
️Flexible working hours — Work on the schedule that makes you the most happy and productive. Here's more info.
Beautiful office in Gràcia — One of the best areas in Barcelona. Our offices are much more than just a place to work. We like to see them alive 24/7, filled with friends and creative activities. Want to organise a community event, a breakfast with other designers, developers, etc.? The place is yours. Take a sneak peek here.
️Team Retreats — So far we've been to Paris, Mallorca, the Pyrenees, Aran Islands, Dublin, and Sweden, where we had a small island to ourselves!
International, English-only speaking environment — We're building an international team and want to create an inclusive environment where anyone can join any conversation at any time, even if it’s just kitchen talk. That's why you'll find Italian, French or Catalan people talking in English to each other.
What we offer…
Competitive salary — our salaries are in the top percentiles of the Barcelona startup scene.
Equity — By joining the company when the team is so small, you’re helping us set the foundations of our future success. We're asking you to come on an adventure, so if we find a treasure, we want you to get a piece.
Mental health support — We have partnered with Oliva to offer you the best mental health support, from day 1. You can access 1-1 online therapy as often as you need to and it’s 100% confidential.
️30 days per year vacation time — To relax and recharge your batteries whenever you need to.
Visa sponsorship and Relocation help — We want to work with the best people, regardless of where they're from. We'll help with your relocation costs and getting set up in Barcelona and will sponsor your visa if needed.
The hardware that you need to be most productive.
1 book/mo + e-learning platforms, conferences or courses of your choice — We truly want you to learn.
Private Health Insurance - We have partnered withAlan to best take care of our team both in Barcelona and while they’re on the road, covering half of the full price of the medical coverage.
Interview Process
We see this as a two-way process and value the time you invest in considering working with us. We are committed to replying to everyone who applies, giving feedback to everyone we interview, being respectful of your time and giving you all the information you need to be able to make a decision.
* Step 1 - Screening 30-minute video call with Dorottya from our talent team and Andrew, our Head of Product to dive deeper into your skillset.
* Step 2 - Portfolio Review 45-minute video call with our Product Designer, Milan and our Product Manager, Leo.
* Step 3 - Whiteboarding Exercise with Andrew, Milan and Marc, our Co-Founder and CTO. We prefer doing this step in person, in our office.
* Step 4 - Values fit interview. 1-hour with our CEO, André and our Head of People, Mili to get to know you better as a person, understand your values, how you collaborate, think, make decisions, and what makes you tick.
* Step 5 - Meet the team. This is not really an interview, it’s an opportunity to meet some of the amazing people you’d be working with to help you know if you want to join our team.
Note - you might speak to different people than the ones noted here, but the steps remain the same. In some cases, we might ask for an additional conversation to go deeper into certain topics if we think it can add value.
