Lead Product Designers at Viget will independently manage complex digital design projects while working with clients and development teams to create high-quality interfaces.
Viget is an independent digital agency that has been branding, designing, and building digital products and platforms since 1999. Senior Product Designers at Viget help our clients concept, design, and launch complex digital experiences and compelling products. Their work may include all aspects of the design process including research, explorations, prototyping, and visual design.
We often look to contract designers for opportunities where a client’s needs are more specialized, short-term, or urgent than we’re able to fill with our full-time team.
We are interested in connecting with senior- and lead-level designers who want to join our network of vetted prospective contractors. As client needs come on our radar, we’ll be able to reach out quickly to those who are a strong match. Most opportunities are staffed remotely.
Even if your current availability is limited, we encourage you to connect to be considered for future projects.
Contractors will need to:
- Independently drive large, complex projects from concept to completion
- Show expertise in interaction design and prototyping tools to communicate complex interactive design concepts.
- Design high-quality, thoughtful interfaces that balance function, aesthetics, and usability.
- Have experience working within an existing design system, deciding when to leverage pre-designed components and when there’s a need for new components.
- Be familiar with the possibilities and limitations of modern development approaches including web applications, client-side applications, and native mobile applications.
- Clearly communicate recommendations to clients and teammates and build alignment on product strategy, design, functionality, and usability.
- Enjoy working with agile development teams on software applications, and helping clients focus on realistic deliverables.
- Meet deadlines and be considerate of clients’ project budgets and timelines.
- Take pride in proactively listening, communicating, and collaborating exceptionally well.
Candidates should also:
- Have an online portfolio of work you can share with us.
- Have 5+ years of professional experience designing digital products.
- Be expert Figma users.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
