Job leads — 20 Jul 2026

Market pulse

Chrome not connected today — the tab-context call timed out (180s), so the JS-only, login-gated boards (Wellfound, Contra, LinkedIn listings, Toptal, WTTJ/Otta) couldn’t be read directly. Fell back to web_fetch + WebSearch, which read the server-rendered boards cleanly. Boards actually read this run: uiuxjobsboard (freelance/contract shelf, read in full), Go Fractional (product-designer + product boards), fractionaljobs.io (live board + Find AI / Coworked listings), web3.career (design+remote), plus WebSearch passes across WeWorkRemotely, RemoteOK, Wellfound, Lenny’s, cryptojobslist, and “design engineer / UX engineer” terms.

Modest but real day: 1 genuinely new CORE (Nex), 1 new near-miss (Current — agency), 2 new Stretch (Dropzone AI, Hospitable). uiuxjobsboard refreshed with two fresh contract product-design posts at the top (Nex, Current). fractionaljobs.io is deduped — its live board is all CFO/CTO/COO/ops/finance right now; the “new” design/PM listings surfaced by search (Find AI, Coworked, Greylock, R&D Co-Op) all show “This Role is Closed.” Go Fractional’s product-designer filter is loose (mostly exec/ops roles) with no fresh design hit — the staff-level design role logged 07-16 is still the only clean one. web3.career design+remote shows “1 New” but it’s the same Bitpanda/Blockchain/Jupiter set as last week — no new Stretch there.

CORE — new leads

Ranked by fit.

  1. Product Designer — Nex · 3-month contract (potential FTE conversion), Remote (US) or San Jose · $125k–175k (annualized) · direct-with-company · https://uiuxjobsboard.com/job/1528826-remote-united-states-product-designer · apply direct: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/nex/jobs/5289200008 Direct hire at a consumer product company (Nex Playground, an active-play system for families — award-winning, Hasbro/Sesame/NBCU content partners). The role owns UX + the design system for a custom Android-based OS and the companion web account experience: wireframes → prototypes → hi-fi, plus building and maintaining “a consistent design language and design system for both OS and web,” and running/advocating audits. That’s squarely foogy’s full-scope design + design-systems strength, and consumer-facing craft is the bar they’re setting. Angle: lead with owning-the-system end-to-end and shipping polished screens fast — “I run the design system across OS and web and prototype in Figma at build speed.” Caveats: (a) it’s a motion-gaming company, but the role itself is UI/UX + design-systems for the OS, not motion/animation design, so it clears the “no motion” rule; (b) asks 8+ yrs and a strong consumer portfolio; (c) 3-month contract framed as contract→FTE, which is fine under the contract filter.

CORE — near-misses (new but filtered)

  • Senior Product Designer (Webflow) — Current · Contract (temp-to-perm), Remote (US), $45–65/hr · https://uiuxjobsboard.com/job/1528726-remote-united-states-senior-product-designer · Skip per filters: Current is a “remote-first agency” — the role is design + Webflow build “across multiple client engagements,” partnering with “client services.” Genuinely strong on the design→code edge (Figma → production Webflow, HTML/CSS, WCAG, design systems), so it’s a shame, but it’s agency/client-services work, not direct product ownership. Logged so it isn’t re-surfaced as new.

CORE — best still-open (re-flag)

Only one clean new CORE cleared today, so the strongest recent still-open roles:

  • Product Designer (Fractional/Contract) — Elemental (The Loophole) · contract, Remote (EU time zones), 10–20 hrs/wk · https://www.fractionaljobs.io/jobs/product-designer-at-elemental · apply direct (Dribbble): https://dribbble.com/jobs/308327-Product-Designer-Freelance-Contract Still the best-fit recent role: bootstrapped, profitable edtech; wants a designer who works within/extends an existing design system, turns concepts into buildable screens in days, and is “AI-native.” EU timezone is the requirement, not a barrier (Zagreb overlaps). Caveat: fractionaljobs marks it “closed,” but it’s syndicated from Dribbble — check the Dribbble link directly. (seen 07-17)
  • Fractional Senior Product Designer (Staff Level) — via Go Fractional · fractional, Remote (US/MN company), 5–20 hrs · $75–155/hr · https://www.gofractional.com/job/fractional-senior-product-designer-staff-level-cmqympo4 Clean hit on every hard filter; staff-level fractional = senior judgment a few hours/week. Angle: own the design system + design→code speed as the reason they don’t need a full-timer. (seen 07-16 — confirm still live)
  • Product Designer (Part-Time 1099 Contract) — Parsley Health · part-time contract, Remote (US) · $75–200/hr · https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/parsleyhealth/jobs/7712555003 Direct-with-company on Greenhouse; design partner codifying a design POV into systems/guardrails for AI-assisted engineers. Near-bullseye for the design→code + AI edge. (seen 07-16 — confirm still open)

Stretch (full-time)

Two genuinely new full-time roles worth a look, plus the standing crypto re-flags:

Sources: uiuxjobsboard.com/design-jobs/freelance + Nex/Current listings (web_fetch), gofractional.com/jobs/product-designer + /jobs (web_fetch), fractionaljobs.io live board + Find AI/Coworked listings (web_fetch), web3.career/design+remote-jobs (WebSearch), plus WebSearch across WeWorkRemotely, RemoteOK, Wellfound, Lenny’s, cryptojobslist, “design engineer/UX engineer” terms. Chrome MCP not connected (tab-context timed out) → JS-only boards (Wellfound/Contra/LinkedIn/Toptal) not read directly today.
