Role Overview:

We're seeking a talented Senior UI/UX Designer to drive the visual and interactive aspects of our platform. This role focuses on creating cohesive user experiences through design systems, prototypes, and production-ready designs that our full-stack engineers bring to life. You'll collaborate closely with product managers and engineering teams, translating user needs into elegant, well-specified designs while ensuring design fidelity from concept to production.

Responsibilities:

• Design and maintain our design system in Figma, creating components that map to our engineering component library.
• Create production-ready designs, wireframes, and interactive prototypes in Figma.
• Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to understand user needs and translate them into design solutions.
• Partner with full-stack engineers to ensure design fidelity in production implementations.
• Establish and enforce design standards, visual patterns, and best practices.
• Prepare detailed design handoffs with clear specifications, redlines, and interaction documentation.
• Lead user research initiatives and usability testing to validate design decisions.
• Review production implementations against designs to ensure consistency and quality.
• Stay current with UX trends and design tools to continuously improve our design practice.
• Document design patterns, component usage, and guidelines for the product team.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in UI/UX design with at least 2 years in a senior role.
• Expert proficiency in Figma, including components, auto-layout, variants, and prototyping.
• Experience creating and maintaining design systems that translate to code.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating UI/UX design skills across web applications.

• Ability to collaborate synchronously with team members during core hours (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM US Eastern Time) while respecting work-life balance.

Portfolio Requirements

• Must submit portfolio in clickable form - something more dynamic than a powerpont-style presentation or a series of jpeg images.
• Must follow design best practices - clear resolution, designed with accessibility & mobile in mind, etc.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in advertising technology, marketing analytics, or financial interfaces.
• Knowledge of data visualization design principles and techniques.
• Experience designing complex form interfaces and validation patterns.
• Understanding of design systems at scale across multiple applications.
• Experience with motion design and micro-interaction specifications.
• Experience leveraging AI tools for design ideation, prototyping, or asset generation.
• Background in user psychology or human-computer interaction.
• Knowledge of first principles (e.g. basics of tools, internals of the computer, low level concepts and how work actually gets done, etc).
• Strategic thinking skills (e.g. high level concepts, fundamental logic/reasoning).
• Contributions to open-source design systems or design community resources.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
• Access to cutting-edge AI development tools.
