About the RoleAt Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Product Designer (UX/UI) to create intuitive, modern, and user-friendly digital experiences across web and mobile products.

You’ll own the design process from user research and wireframing through high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and developer handoff, working closely with Product and Engineering.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong UX problem-solving with polished visual design and knows how to turn complex ideas into simple, engaging product experiences.

What You’ll DoUX Research & Product Discovery• Conduct user interviews, usability testing, and surveys

  • Create user flows, personas, and journey maps
  • Identify friction points and opportunities to improve the product
  • Use tools such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Hotjar to understand user behavior

UX/UI Design & Prototyping• Create wireframes, user flows, and clickable prototypes

  • Design polished, responsive interfaces for web and mobile
  • Work primarily in Figma, with Adobe XD or Sketch experience also valuable
  • Iterate designs based on user feedback, testing, and product requirements

Design Systems• Build and maintain reusable components and design patterns

  • Maintain consistency across typography, spacing, colors, and UI elements
  • Help scale design systems as products grow

Collaboration & Handoff• Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and stakeholders

  • Translate product requirements into clear design solutions
  • Prepare organized developer handoffs using Figma Dev Mode, Zeplin, or similar tools
  • Review implementations to ensure design accuracy and usability

What We’re Looking For• 2+ years of Product Design / UX/UI experience

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking and UI craftsmanship
  • Strong proficiency with Figma
  • Experience designing responsive web and/or mobile products
  • Strong understanding of:
  • User flows
  • Wireframing
  • Prototyping
  • Usability
  • Accessibility
  • Design systems
  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

Nice to Have• SaaS, consumer app, or enterprise product experience

  • Familiarity with WCAG accessibility standards
  • Basic understanding of HTML/CSS
  • Experience with analytics, usability testing, or A/B testing
  • Experience building or scaling design systems

What Success Looks Like• Intuitive and polished product experiences

  • Improved usability, engagement, and user satisfaction
  • Smooth collaboration and developer handoffs
  • Consistent adoption of design systems
  • Fewer design revisions and usability issues
  • Reliable delivery within product and sprint timelines

Why This Role Stands Out• High ownership over real product experiences

  • Work closely with Product and Engineering
  • Modern UX/UI and product design workflows
  • Opportunity to influence product decisions
  • Fully remote environment
  • Growth into Senior Product Designer, Lead Designer, or Design Systems Lead

Interview Process• Initial Application Review

  • Spark Hire Intro Video
  • Portfolio Review + Design Task
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Onboarding
