About the Role:

Our client is seeking a UX/UI Designer to create intuitive, user-friendly, and visually engaging digital experiences. This role is responsible for the full design lifecycle from research and wireframing through high-fidelity mockups, design systems, and developer collaboration. A UX/UI Designer ensures that products are both beautiful and functional, balancing user needs with business goals.

Responsibilities:

User Research & Analysis:

  • Conduct user interviews, surveys, and usability tests.
  • Translate findings into personas, journey maps, and actionable design requirements.
  • Use analytics tools (Hotjar, FullStory, Google Analytics) to understand user behavior.

Wireframing & Prototyping:

  • Build low-fidelity sketches and high-fidelity clickable prototypes in Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch.
  • Iterate quickly based on user feedback and stakeholder input.

UI & Visual Design:

  • Create polished interfaces with attention to layout, typography, color, and branding.
  • Develop and maintain style guides, component libraries, and full design systems.
  • Ensure responsive design across web and mobile platforms.

Accessibility & Standards:

  • Design with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility in mind (contrast, alt-text, keyboard navigation).
  • Ensure internationalization/localization considerations where relevant.

Collaboration & Handoff:

  • Partner with product managers to prioritize features and design scope.
  • Work closely with engineers to deliver specs, assets, and design documentation.
  • Use Zeplin, Figma Dev Mode, or InVision Inspect for efficient handoffs.

Iteration & Testing:

  • Run A/B tests on design variations.
  • Collect feedback from users, stakeholders, and QA.
  • Continuously refine designs to improve usability and conversion.

What Makes You a Perfect Fit:

  • Strong empathy for users, balanced with a sharp eye for detail.
  • Excellent communicator who can explain design decisions clearly.
  • Portfolio that demonstrates both UX problem-solving and UI creativity.
  • Comfortable collaborating in Agile/sprint environments.

Required Experience & Skills (Minimum):

  • 2+ years UX/UI design experience.
  • Proficiency in Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch.
  • Experience building wireframes, prototypes, and responsive layouts.
  • Understanding of UX principles and usability best practices.

Ideal Experience & Skills:

  • Experience with SaaS, mobile apps, or e-commerce platforms.
  • Knowledge of front-end basics (HTML/CSS) for better dev collaboration.
  • Familiarity with design systems at scale.
  • Exposure to analytics tools and user testing platforms.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

A UX/UI Designer’s day revolves around understanding users, crafting designs, and collaborating with stakeholders. You will:

  • Research and analyze user behavior through interviews, analytics, and usability tests.
  • Design wireframes and prototypes that capture new features and workflows.
  • Collaborate with product managers and engineers to ensure designs are feasible, aligned with goals, and implemented accurately.
  • Maintain design systems and style guides to ensure consistency across products.
  • Gather feedback from users and stakeholders, refining designs through iteration.

In essence: you are responsible for ensuring that every interaction a user has with the product is intuitive, accessible, and visually engaging.

Key Metrics for Success (KPIs):

  • Usability scores and user satisfaction ratings.
  • Increased task completion rates and reduced user errors.
  • On-time delivery of design assets and prototypes for sprints.
  • Consistency of implementation with design specs.
  • Adoption and expansion of design system usage.
  • Conduct user interviews, surveys, and usability tests.
  • Translate findings into personas, journey maps, and actionable design requirements.
