Job Description

We are looking for a UX Designer with strong systems thinking skills who can establish and maintain a scalable design system, collaborate across disciplines, and bring a technical mindset to user problems. The ideal candidate should have experience working on complex systems and in novel problem spaces. Must have a strong portfolio that reflects polished visual design, thoughtful execution, and consistent craft. Be prepared to explain design decisions in portfolio work that reflects shipped, real world products.

  • Partner with product, engineering, and data teams to deliver end to end experiences.
  • Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high fidelity designs that align with product goals.
  • Skilled at driving alignment with leadership by iterating live on calls, capturing feedback in real time, and translating input into clear, convergent design decisions.
  • Conduct user research, analyze findings, and incorporate insights into the design process.
  • Work closely with engineers to ensure high quality implementation and provide necessary specifications.
  • Explore new design and AI tools that can improve workflow and design outcomes.
  • Ability to pivot in a dynamic environment and operate effectively in a fast paced, forward thinking team.
  • Ability to set standards and establish best practices, not only follow existing ones.
  • Be a continuous learner excited about advancing their craft.
Required Skills
  • Strong systems thinking skills and experience creating or contributing to a design system.
  • Solid understanding of interaction design, information architecture, and visual design.
  • Technical fluency and ability to work effectively with engineers.
  • Ability to simplify complexity and communicate design decisions clearly.
  • Interest in experimenting with AI powered tools to enhance design and research processes.
  • Excellent collaboration, communication, and problem solving skills.
  • Proficient with Figma, including advanced features such as design tokens, variables, and auto layout, with the ability to create structured components and document them for cross team use.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with accessibility standards and best practices.
  • Background in designing for AI enabled products is a plus.
  • General knowledge of front end programming languages is a plus.
