About the role
Own Design End-to-End: Lead UX/UI design for enterprise class applications independently from discovery through delivery — conducting research, producing user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and pixel-precise high-fidelity mockups in Figma with minimal supervision.
Drive Clarity from Ambiguity: When requirements are vague, competing, or incomplete — step in to facilitate, ask the sharpest questions, and define a path forward. Translate fuzzy business needs into crisp design briefs by showing stakeholders options, not asking open- ended questions.
Design for Complex Data: Craft clear, scannable, high-performance interfaces for dashboards, data tables, reports, analytics views, and multi-entity workflows. Design for large datasets — pagination, filtering, sorting, drill-down, bulk actions — with the same care given to visual polish.
Prototype Fast, Learn Faster: Build quick, functional prototypes in Figma — and with AI tools where appropriate — to put ideas in front of real users early, before engineering cycles are committed. Treat prototyping as your primary thinking tool.
Master the Details: Go deep on every state: loading, empty, error, overflow, edge case. Produce Figma files precise enough to hand off without a single ambiguous pixel.
Build and Own the Design System: Architect and maintain a comprehensive enterprise design system in Figma — component libraries, design tokens, variables, auto-layout patterns, and thorough documentation — that scales reliably across multiple applications and development teams.
Leverage AI in Your Workflow: Actively use AI design and prototyping tools to accelerate output, explore interaction patterns, and design intuitive interfaces for AI-native features such as natural language dashboards, intelligent query tools, and automated reporting surfaces.
User Research & Validation: Plan and conduct user interviews, usability tests, and contextual inquiry with internal stakeholders. Synthesize findings quickly and translate insights into concrete design decisions.
Stay Embedded with Engineering: Participate in development handoff, review implementations against your specs, flag design drift early, and hold a high bar for what ships. Your job isn't done at handoff.
Accessibility Without Compromise: Design to WCAG 2.1 AA standards as a baseline — embedding inclusive design principles throughout, not bolting them on at the end.
Travel: Willingness to travel occasionally as needed to meet with stakeholders, conduct user research sessions, or support key project milestones.
