About BlueThrone
We dont just build apps.
We scale indie mobile products into global powerhouses.
With 80M downloads 20M MAU and a lean team of doers we move fast and aim just three years weve hit $14M in ARR 100% organically driven by bold bets five strategic acquisitions and two successful exits. Our mission: unlock the full potential of iOS and Android apps through sustainable growth and continuous innovation.
Were a team of entrepreneurs product thinkers marketing experts and builders who thrive on creativity speed and results. If you like turning ambition into action and ideas into impact youre in the right place.
Youll fit right in if you:
- Prefer freedom over fixed schedules - remote flexible unlimited time off.
- Naturally curious and love driving real impact for users and the business.
- Can wear multiple hats - we love experts but we also value jacks of all trades.
- Keep things cool calm and collected - save the drama for your llama.

What are we looking for
Were looking for a seasoned product designer whos been around the block and knows how to ship. Youll lead the design of our immigration app and internal a few months you might be shaping the experience for a brand-new app we acquire whether its AI-powered or not. Things move fast here and nothing stays still.
This isnt a one-product job. Youll work across a diverse mix of apps each with different users problems and opportunities. One month youre untangling a complex immigration case journey; a few months later youre crafting an entertaining social experience that people actually want to share.
Ultimately you must be passionate about turning user tears into product cheers.
Before you get too excited
This isnt your typical design role. Were not here to make things look pretty and call it a day.
Were looking for builders who:
Love messy problems: from 1 10 or 10 100 you know how to bring ideas to life from scratch.
Believe speed and quality go hand-in-hand.
Have worn many hats before: founding designer early employee design lead or youre just kick-ass at your craft.
Youll have a ton of freedom but also full accountability. No hiding behind specs no just the visuals. Youll help decide what we build not just how it looks and feels. Were a small scrappy team. This is not a 9-5 job. We move fast priorities shift and sometimes youll work on more than one app at a time. Its a place for people with raw intellect grit and the hunger to build something that matters.
If you want chill predictability and perfect design systems this isnt for you.
But if you want ownership chaos and the chance to build products people care about we should talk
What youll be doing

What youll need to succeed
- You have extensive experience in designing and shipping successful mobile consumer products and internal tools in fast-paced high-growth environments ideally at pre-seed seed and Series A startups where speed ambiguity and ownership are the norm. Start-ups are your natural habitat.
