• The ideal candidate thrives in complex enterprise domains and is motivated by incremental, systematized improvements to mature products.
• 4+ years of experience in product design, UI, or UX design, with significant time spent on design systems or component-based design for web applications.
• Experience designing for complex, data-heavy, or enterprise software, ideally including modernization of legacy interfaces.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate closely with front-end engineers, including familiarity with how design systems are implemented in code (e.g., React component libraries, Storybook).
• Strong skills in Figma (or equivalent) for component creation, variants, and documentation,and comfort working with tokens, grids, and responsive layouts.
• Understanding of usability heuristics and accessibility best practices for web applications.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work iteratively within an agile product development process.
• If you share the goal of turning complex, legacy enterprise workflows into a cohesive, modern product experience through systematic UI and strong design–engineering partnership, this role is for you.

• Front-End Collaboration: Work day-to-day with front-end engineers to translate Figma components and specifications into production-ready implementations.
• Provide clear documentation, interaction specs, and acceptance criteria, and participate in design reviews of implemented UI to ensure quality.
• UX and Usability: Refine complex user flows, data-dense layouts, and interaction patterns to improve clarity, efficiency, and error prevention, especially for expert enterprise users.
• Plan and run lightweight usability evaluations (e.g., heuristic reviews, hallway tests, or targeted user sessions) to validate and iterate on UI changes.
• Governance and Standards: Contribute to design system governance rituals (intake, review,approvals) so new patterns are evaluated, documented, and aligned with accessibility and brand standards.
• Cross-Functional Communication: Clearly articulate design decisions, tradeoffs, and rationale to product managers, engineering leads, and stakeholders.
