Job Description - UX/UI Designer

We need a designer who thinks in systems, obsesses over how people actually use things, and can move fluidly between enterprise complexity and consumer simplicity. You'll own end-to-end experience design across our products - from the first wireframe sketch to the pixel-perfect handoff.

What you'll actually do

You'll design user experiences across web and mobile for both our enterprise tools and B2C marketplace. That means you're comfortable navigating a dense workflow one week and optimizing a conversion funnel the next. Specifically:

  • Own the full design arc - research > UX flows > wireframes > high-fidelity UI - in Figma
  • Partner daily with Product, and Engineering to shape what gets built and why
  • Run and synthesize user research and usability testing (not just request it - actually do it)
  • Build and evolve a component library and design system that scales without getting brittle
  • Make hard tradeoffs between user needs, business goals, and technical reality - and articulate why

What we're looking for

  • 2 to 6 years designing digital products, with real depth in UX fundamentals - information architecture, interaction design, usability principles.
  • Figma is your primary tool and you're fast and in-depth in it.
  • You've shipped enterprise products with real workflow complexity (not just dashboards).
  • You've designed for B2C marketplace dynamics - search, discovery, conversion, trust signals.
  • You think in systems: reusable components, consistent patterns, responsive behavior.
  • You communicate design decisions clearly to people who aren't designers.
  • A portfolio that shows your process, not just your pixels.

Bonus points

  • You've worked in an agile product team where design runs ahead of engineering, not behind it.
  • You can read (or write) HTML/CSS/React well enough to speak engineering's language.
  • You have a point of view on - not just compliance, but inclusive design & accessibility as a practice.
  • You've used analytics and A/B testing to validate design decisions with data, not just instinct.
  • You’ve built or worked on a design system and built UIs with those components.

Compensation, Benefits and Duration

Minimum Compensation: USD 44,000

Maximum Compensation: USD 154,000

Compensation is based on actual experience and qualifications of the candidate. The above is a reasonable and a good faith estimate for the role.

Medical, vision, and dental benefits, 401k retirement plan, variable pay/incentives, paid time off, and paid holidays are available for full-time employees.

This position is available for independent contractors
