• Design End-to-End User Experiences: Work closely with product management, engineering, and stakeholders to design a comprehensive and effective user experience across all interaction stages.
• ‍
• Collaborate with Design and Development Teams: Work alongside designers and developers to create user-friendly, professional, and impactful UI designs that align with project goals.
• ‍
• Efficiently Engage with Agile Teams: Operate iteratively within Agile team(s) to deliver mockups and specifications for developers, ensuring smooth execution.
• ‍
• Apply Design Best Practices: Establish user experience principles and guidelines for both software and hardware interfaces.
• ‍
• Enhance Performance Based on Feedback: Analyze user testing outcomes and feedback, adjusting as necessary to optimize the experience.
• ‍
• Lead AI-Assisted Design Practices (New): Guide the responsible use of AI tools to accelerate exploration and prototyping, while maintaining quality standards and human design judgment in final decisions.

Technical Skill Requirements

Design & Prototyping Tools

• High proficiency in industry-standard design tools, specifically Figma (the current market leader), with familiarity in Adobe XD or Sketch.
• ‍
• Proven experience contributing to and maintaining Design Systems and component libraries.
• ‍
• Strong capability in interactive prototyping tools (e.g., ProtoPie, Framer, or InVision) to demonstrate micro-interactions and transitions.

‍

AI Fluency

• Hands-on experience integrating AI tools into the design workflow (e.g., Figma AI, Uizard, or other AI-assisted concepting tools) to accelerate exploration and generate alternatives faster.
• ‍
• Ability to critically evaluate and refine AI-generated output rather than accept it as-is — strong human design judgment is what differentiates a senior designer in an AI-augmented workflow.
• ‍
• Working knowledge of "prompt-to-prototype" or design-to-code tools (e.g., v0, Lovable) to speed up communication with engineering — increasingly a baseline expectation rather than a nice-to-have in 2026.
• ‍
• Understanding of how to design for AI-native products: handling generative/variable outputs, uncertainty states, and agentic or chat-based experiences.

‍

UX Research & Testing

• Experience conducting and analyzing user research utilizing tools like UserTesting.com, Maze, or Hotjar.

• ‍
• Ability to build clear wireframes, user journeys, information architecture, and structured user flows.
• ‍
• Ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative feedback to confidently iterate on designs.
• ‍

Technical Collaboration & Agile Workflows

• Solid working knowledge of front-end constraints (HTML5, CSS3, and frameworks like React or Vue.js) to ensure designs are technically feasible.

• ‍
• Comfortable working in collaborative Agile/Scrum environments using tools like Jira or Asana.
• ‍
• Experience with smooth developer handoff processes and a strong understanding of responsive design across varying screens.
• ‍

Domain & Accessibility Knowledge

• Experience designing across multiple platforms (Web, iOS, Android), with exposure to or understanding of hardware/IoT interfaces.

• ‍
• Solid understanding of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and inclusive design practices — now a baseline market expectation rather than a differentiator.
• ‍

Preferred Qualifications

• Industry Experience: Background designing for specific high-growth sectors, such as SaaS, E-commerce, Fintech, or IoT/Hardware integrated products.

• ‍
• Advanced Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Computer Science, Graphic Design, or a related field.
• ‍
• Technical Background: Basic front-end development capabilities (ability to write basic HTML/CSS or utilize GitHub) to seamlessly bridge the gap with engineering teams.
• ‍
• Leadership Potential: Experience mentoring junior designers or acting as the designated design lead on specific, cross-functional project squads.
• ‍
• Data Literacy: Familiarity with product analytics software (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Google Analytics) to track the long-term success of feature rollouts.
• ‍
• AI-General Fluency: Comfort using general-purpose generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT or Claude) for rapid research synthesis, UX writing/microcopy, and summarizing findings.
