Job Description
About Fluxicart
Fluxicart is a white-label multi-tenant marketplace platform that empowers merchants to create their own fully customized online stores (themes, domains, branding) while operating under a centralized platform that manages payments, deliveries, commissions, and administrative dashboards.
We are building the "Shopify + iFood + Production System" for the European market, starting with Ireland and expanding to Brazil.
Our ecosystem touches real people, every day:
- Restaurant owners — working 14-hour days, managing inventory, staff, and customer expectations
- Delivery riders — navigating traffic, weather, and tight deadlines to earn a living
- Consumers — with dietary restrictions, health goals, and a desire for convenience
- Fluxers — commercial representatives selling hope and opportunity to restaurant owners
🌍 The Journey: Ireland → Brazil
We're starting in Ireland and expanding to Brazil — two countries with very different food cultures, delivery dynamics, and consumer behaviors. We need someone who understands that one size does not fit all.
Ireland | Brazil | |
|---|---|---|
Food Culture | Pub food, fish & chips, takeaway | Feijoada, churrasco, street food, açaí |
Delivery Market | Just Eat, Deliveroo, Uber Eats | iFood (dominant), Rappi, Uber Eats |
Rider Dynamics | Bikes/e-bikes, regulated, higher pay | Motoboys (motorcycles), intense traffic |
Restaurant Profile | Smaller kitchens, lower volume | High volume, complex operations |
Consumer Behavior | Less frequent, higher value orders | Frequent orders, small baskets, price-sensitive |
We are backed by a clear product vision, an active user base, and a roadmap that includes international expansion, WebSocket real-time features, and high-performance Rust microservices.
The Role
We are looking for a CX Designer — a unique hybrid role that goes beyond traditional UX/UI design. This is a role for someone who is obsessed with people, not just pixels.
You will live with our users — not just through interviews, but by experiencing their world. You'll spend time in restaurants, ride with delivery drivers, order food as a consumer, and sell the product as a Fluxer. You'll understand the human side of every touchpoint.
This is a role for someone who:
- Loves food and hospitality — you understand the chaos of a restaurant kitchen
- Cares about rider rights — you see delivery workers as people, not just a logistics problem
- Understands health and nutrition — you know what it means to have dietary restrictions
- Loves the art of selling — you understand what it takes to convince a restaurant owner to trust a new platform
- Is passionate about quality of life — you believe technology should make people's lives better, not worse
And crucially...
- Understands cultural differences — you know that what works in Dublin might not work in São Paulo
- Is a cultural bridge — you can design experiences that respect both Irish and Brazilian contexts
- Is adaptable — you'll spend time in both countries, understanding the nuances of each
Your mission: Design the end-to-end customer experience across the entire Fluxicart ecosystem — from the moment a Fluxer walks into a restaurant to the moment a consumer finishes their meal and the rider completes their delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Deep User Research & Empathy (40%)
Restaurant Owners
- Spend time in restaurants in both Ireland and Brazil
- Shadow owners and staff during peak hours
- Understand the full operational chaos — inventory, staffing, prep, service, cleanup
- Map the restaurant journey from opening to closing in both countries
- Understand pain points — margins, staff turnover, delivery fees, platform commissions
- Study the "moments of truth" — when a restaurant decides to trust a platform
- Key question: How do we help restaurant owners in both countries thrive?
Delivery Riders (Fluxiway)
- Ride with riders in both countries
- Experience the streets, traffic, weather, and the app
- Understand their daily struggles — finding parking, waiting for orders, dealing with restaurants
- Map the rider journey from wake-up to log-off in both contexts
- Identify pain points — payment delays, unfair ratings, safety concerns
- Understand their motivations — flexibility, earning potential, independence
- Advocate for quality of life improvements — rest periods, fair pay, safety features
Consumers
- Order food — experience the full consumer journey from discovery to digestion
- Understand dietary restrictions — allergies, intolerances, religious dietary needs, health goals
- Map the consumer journey — browsing, selecting, customizing, paying, tracking, receiving, eating
- Study health and nutrition needs — what are consumers always looking for?
- Segment users — understand the difference between different consumer types
- Understand local vs global — a consumer in Dublin has different needs than one in São Paulo
Fluxers (Commercial Representatives)
- Go on sales calls — understand what it takes to sell to a restaurant owner
- Understand the sales journey — cold approach, relationship building, closing the deal
- Map the Fluxer journey — lead generation, client acquisition, ongoing support
- Understand motivations — commission structures, autonomy, the thrill of the sale
- Identify pain points — rejection, administrative overhead, tracking sales
Journey Mapping & Service Design (30%)
- Create end-to-end journey maps for each user persona
- Design service blueprints that connect front-stage and back-stage experiences
- Identify moments of truth — the make-or-break touchpoints
- Map emotional journeys — how users feel at every stage
- Design "day in the life" scenarios for each persona
- Understand the cultural context of both Ireland and Brazil
Product Design & Prototyping (20%)
- Design user-centered solutions for each persona's pain points
- Create low-fidelity prototypes to test with users
- Collaborate with UI/UX Designers to translate research into beautiful interfaces
- Design specialized flows:
- Restaurant onboarding — making it easy for tired owners to sign up
- Rider safety features — emergency contacts, check-in, fatigue monitoring
- Consumer personalization — dietary filters, health goals, restaurant recommendations
- Fluxer sales tools — CRM, lead tracking, client management
- Build feedback loops — making sure users feel heard
Cultural & Localization Research (10%)
- Understand the cultural context of each market:
- Ireland — pub culture, fast food, takeaway preferences
- Brazil — diverse regional cuisine, street food, food culture
- Research local regulations — delivery worker rights, food safety, labor laws
- Understand food trends in both markets — sustainability, plant-based, local sourcing
- Identify opportunities for innovation in each market
