Hey there — we’re Kinship 👋

We’re building the Revit tools that architects and engineers actually want to use. Our platform helps teams manage their content, track project data, and make smarter decisions without the usual chaos.

We’re looking for a designer who’s obsessed with creating clean, thoughtful, and intuitive interfaces. This role isn’t just about making pretty mockups—it’s about deeply understanding user workflows, prototyping smart solutions, and shipping polished features alongside our engineers.

If you’re someone who’s fluent in Figma, Sketch, or Framer, who loves crafting elegant UIs, and who enjoys dipping into HTML & CSS (without needing to become a full-time coder), you’ll feel right at home here.

In this role, you will:

  • Own the full design lifecycle for new features—from early concept sketches and wireframes to pixel-perfect, developer-ready UI

  • Level-up the quality and polish of our interface, ensuring it’s intuitive, fast, and genuinely helpful

  • Prototype and iterate quickly using Figma, Framer, or your preferred tools to test ideas, interactions, and flows

  • Collaborate shoulder-to-shoulder with our engineering team to ship features regularly and at high quality

  • Help refine and evolve our design system, ensuring clarity, consistency, and usability across our product

We think your background probably includes:

  • Several years (ideally 4+) designing software products, with a portfolio that shows careful attention to detail, beautiful execution, and real-world impact

  • Mastery of design tools—particularly Figma, Sketch, or Framer. You’re someone who’s deeply comfortable prototyping, testing, and refining UI quickly

  • Experience designing complex applications—not just simple websites—ideally products with structured data, rich interactions, or detailed user workflows

  • Familiarity with modern front-end concepts (HTML, CSS, responsive layouts). You don’t need to be an expert coder, but you understand how your designs translate into working interfaces

  • Experience working closely with developers in product-focused teams. You know how to communicate clearly, hand off designs thoughtfully, and collaborate until it’s right

You’re probably someone who:

  • Feels excited (not overwhelmed) by complex design challenges and detailed product interactions

  • Is naturally curious and eager to explore solutions — “Let’s build a quick prototype” might be one of your favourite phrases

  • Cares deeply about typography, spacing, states, and interaction details—because you know they matter

  • Values clarity and simplicity above flashy gimmicks

  • Wants to join a small, ambitious team in person in London and have a genuine influence on our product and culture

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary

  • A beautiful, plant-filled office in central London (by Southwark tube station) and good coffee (obviously)

  • A no-BS team of people who love building great software together

  • A company that believes in work-life balance

The best way to manage Revit content

Our Office

Based in London, used around the world

Our office is in London, and we work in person as much as possible because it makes everything better: ideas move faster, communication is easier, and it’s just more fun (and yes, we make sure there’s good coffee to go with it).

We also have team members in several other locations and time zones, so we know how to work closely together online too.

How we work

People over process
