Job leads — 13 Jul 2026
Market pulse
Boards checked directly (server-rendered fetch): Go Fractional (product-designer + all-jobs), fractionaljobs.io (live board + individual posts), uiuxjobsboard (freelance/contract), web3.career (design/remote), We Work Remotely (contract), plus wide WebSearch passes on cryptojobslist, Lenny’s, and “design engineer” terms. Chrome was NOT connected again, so JS-heavy boards (Wellfound, Contra, LinkedIn, Otta/WTTJ, Toptal) couldn’t be read directly — coverage there is limited to what surfaced via search. Worth a re-check when Chrome is back.
Monday is quiet and mostly recycled. web3.career and Go Fractional are fully deduped — same Bitpanda/Solana/Tonkeeper/Tether set and the same non-design fractional exec roles as last week. A trap worth noting: fractionaljobs.io’s “design” search hits (Yaysay Product Design Lead, the consumer-fintech PM) are old syndicated posts that are already CLOSED (added 2024) — the current live board has zero new open design/PM roles. The one fresh channel today was uiuxjobsboard, which added several new remote roles — but most are full-time or fail the remote filter. Rough counts: ~1 new CORE (caveated), ~2 new Stretch; everything else deduped or filtered out. Also flagging: garden3d’s part-time Design Engineer (a long-standing re-flag) had a July 8 application deadline that has now passed — treat as likely closed.
CORE — new leads
Thin today; one genuinely-new lead, with a caveat.
- Product Designer — Growth Factory Venture Studio · contract (path to full-time), Remote, + equity · https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/growth-factory-venture-studio-product-designer-contract-position-with-path-to-full-time-based-on Fit: remote contract product design with equity in the ventures you help launch — hits the contract + remote filters and the 0→1 startup energy foogy likes. Angle: pitch design→code (ship the build, not just handoff) as the leverage a venture studio needs across multiple early products. Caveat: “venture studio” is borderline vs. the no-agency rule — it builds its own ventures (so more direct than a client-services shop), but confirm you’d be designing products, not doing client work, before investing.
CORE — near-misses (new but filtered)
Surfaced today, didn’t clear the hard filters — logged so they’re not re-surfaced as “new” later:
- Senior Product Designer (Games) — The New York Times · temporary/contract, hybrid NYC (not remote) · $65–87/hr · https://uiuxjobsboard.com/job/1521026-senior-product-designer-new-york-united-states Content-wise this is almost a bullseye — a temporary role establishing design systems across web + app for the Games team (Wordle, Connections), explicitly valuing front-end coding and design-token/handoff fluency. But it’s #LI-Hybrid, based in the NYC office, so it fails the remote-only filter. Noting it because the shape of the role (contract + design systems + design→code) is exactly the target — a fully-remote version of this is the ideal.
CORE — best still-open (re-flag)
Nothing clean is new, so surfacing the best recent CORE roles still worth a look:
- UX/Product Design Lead — Bringg · part-time (~92 hrs/mo), contract, Remote (Anywhere) · https://uiuxjobsboard.com/job/1521726-remote-anywhere-ux-product-design-lead Still live and near the top of the board. Owns the design system + writes the AI-prompting guides Bringg’s PMs use to generate UI — a near-bespoke match for the design-systems + design→code + PM-bridge edge. Top pick if still open. (seen 07-11)
- Product Designer (6-mo contract) — Renew Home · contract, Remote (US) · https://www.gofractional.com/job/workable-product-designer-6-month-contract-remote-us-renew-home Direct-with-company, defined 6-month contract, US-remote. (seen 07-07)
- Fractional UX/UI Designer — inquirED · contract, Remote · https://www.gofractional.com/job/inquired-ux-ui-design-contractor Direct-with-company fractional design at an edtech product company. (seen 07-03)
Stretch (full-time)
New full-time roles worth surfacing separately — not core.
- Principal Product Designer — Bitpanda · full-time, Remote · $117k–165k · https://web3.career/principal-product-designer-bitpanda/150682 The senior-most of Bitpanda’s current openings and the best-paid — fintech/crypto product design at scale, plays to foogy’s marketplace/fintech + crypto edge. New since the earlier Bitpanda roles were logged.
- Product Designer — BlastPoint · full-time, Remote (US) · $80k–95k · https://uiuxjobsboard.com/job/1520926-remote-united-states-product-designer B2B data-analytics startup (Pittsburgh, CMU founders). Wants an owner who drives design-system contribution + AI-in-the-design-workflow and is comfortable with web tech / front-end implications — strong design→code + AI fit, fully remote-US. Modest comp, requires US work authorization (verify eligibility). Notable as a rare remote-US full-time that actually rewards the design-engineer angle.
- UX/UI Designer — Scotch · full-time, Remote (US) · $150k–160k · https://uiuxjobsboard.com/job/1521826-remote-united-states-ux-ui-designer Higher-comp remote-US full-time option; lighter detail, listed for breadth.
