Why should I bother reading this?

Sick and tired of having no creative freedom, being given a narrow job scope and feeling like a factory worker just churning out screens after screens for unappreciative clients?We feel you, and that’s why this job opportunity is entirely different. So read on.

What is Originally US?

Originally US (https://originallyus.sg) is a regional award-winning mobile app consultancy that provides bespoke mobile app consultancy, conceptualization, research, testing, design and development services for global financial institutions, MNCs, and government bodies.

We are highly selective of which clients we work with and produce our best works with nice and appreciative clients.

What is the Originally US work culture like?

We are an extremely young team, with the oldest ‘uncle’ being 35 years old. We wear berms to work, unless there’s a client meeting scheduled for the day. There’s a well-stocked pantry with various snacks and drinks, sometimes even beer.

There’s no such thing as being late for work because we have flexible working hours. We are work-from-home on Mondays and Tuesdays, and provide unlimited leave entitlement with twice yearly performance review.

What!? Seriously? Seriously.

What is the job scope?

You will be given tons of autonomy. You will also be expected to challenge yourself, to grow with us and to think. If you need an instruction manual to operate a pair of chopsticks, we don’t want you.

You may also be required to conduct user interviews before coming up with your design approach, and to conduct usability testing to verify your approach.
