In these difficult times, We all are Ukraine. If due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, you need a design or tech job immediately or have friends who are looking for a job, we came across some fantastic initiatives that connect designers and developers from Ukraine with potential employers.

The options below are just a few of the ones that we’ve stumbled upon, and there are surely plenty of other opportunities — these are just the ones submitted by our community. Also, if you’re an employer and you need help on a project or are looking to fill a full-time position — remote or onsite — you might find just the right person for the role on one of these platforms, too.

Job Opportunities

  On UA Talents, companies from all over Europe can advertise their job openings to people from Ukraine who have lost their employment due to the war.

Alternatively, you can also choose a vacancy from the database.
