Common questions

Everything about how YokaiJobs finds roles, sends alerts and handles removals. Still stuck? Email support@yokaijobs.com.

Is YokaiJobs free?

Yes. Searching, filtering, opening jobs and job alerts are all free, with no account.

How is YokaiJobs free? Do you sell my data?

YokaiJobs is a free side project by pixelyokai and costs very little to run. It may show sponsors in future, but there are no paid listings and no tracking cookies, and we never sell or rent your data. If you sign up for alerts, your email is used only to send the emails you asked for. See the privacy policy.

Do I apply on YokaiJobs?

No. Every job opens on the employer's own site, where you read the full posting and apply. We never see your application.

Where do the jobs come from?

From the public job boards that companies publish on hiring platforms such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Teamtailor and Workable. We keep only design roles and show the essentials: title, company, location, work type, salary when it's listed, and when the job was posted.

Which job boards do you read?

Companies' public job boards on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Teamtailor and Workable, through the feeds those platforms publish for reading. We don't copy jobs from careers sites, LinkedIn or other job sites.

How do you decide what counts as a design job?

We read each job's title and keep roles where design is the work itself: product, UX and UI, brand, visual and graphic, illustration, motion, 3D, design systems, design engineering, UX research, content design and UX writing, and design leadership. We leave out jobs that only share the word, such as interior, fashion, instructional, hardware or construction design, and jobs where design is only the team's name. Unclear titles are checked by hand.

What do the "New" and "Worldwide" tags mean?

"New" marks a job that went live in the last 24 hours. "Worldwide" marks a remote job open to people in any country. Other remote jobs may be limited to certain countries or time zones, so check the location.

How often is it updated?

Every day. Boards that have posted design jobs recently are read daily; the rest are read about once a week, so a job on a quieter board can take a few days to appear. A job is removed after it has been missing from its board on two checks in a row.

Why did a job I saw earlier disappear?

Most often the employer closed it or took it off their job board: we remove a job once it has been missing from its board on two checks in a row. A job can also go when we no longer count it as a design role, or after a removal request.

Why can't I find a company I know is hiring?

We only read public job boards on the platforms listed above. A company that hires through its own careers site or another platform won't appear, and neither will one with no open design roles right now. We look for new boards every week.

Why is a salary missing?

Many employers don't publish pay, and we only show what the posting itself states. Salaries in other currencies are converted to US dollars at the day's reference rate and marked as approximate; hover to see the original. A currency without a reference rate is shown as it is.

Are the salaries accurate? Why are they in US dollars?

We show only the pay the posting states, as the employer wrote it. To make jobs easy to compare and filter, other currencies are converted to US dollars at the day's reference rate and marked "≈"; hover to see the original amount. The posting itself is always the final word.

Can I find remote design jobs from India?

Yes. Many remote jobs are open only to people in certain countries, so check the location on each job. The "Remote anywhere" location filter shows jobs open to any country, and the India filter shows jobs that list India. See remote design jobs and design jobs in India.

I found a wrong or broken listing. How do I report it?

Email support@yokaijobs.com with the job's link and what looks wrong, and we'll look into it. If the job or company shouldn't be listed at all, send a removal request.

How do job alerts work, and how do I unsubscribe?

Choose the roles and places you want and how often (weekly, or daily), then confirm the email we send you. Each alert lists only jobs added since the last one, up to 20, with a link to see them all; if nothing new matches, we send nothing. Every alert email has a link to change your alert and a link to unsubscribe, which stops those emails at once. You can undo it for a few minutes; after that, if you have no other subscription with us, your details are deleted. Get job alerts.

Can I post a job here?

No. There's no way to post or pay for a listing. If your company has a public job board on one of the platforms we read, its design roles can appear here on their own.

How do I get a company or job removed?

Send a removal request with the company name or the job link. We remove it as soon as we can, usually within a few days, and it stays off the site.
