Onsite Full-time Senior

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design end-to-end user experiences that meet user and business needs. Monitor key performance indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of design work and contribute to the design system.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, researchers, and engineers to design end-to-end user experiences—including information architecture, content, interaction flows, and navigation—that meet both user and business needs.
  • Apply human-centered design methodologies to transform abstract challenges into clear, user-focused solutions by analyzing data and creating workflows, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes.
  • Partner with product managers and researchers to deeply understand user problems and business requirements, aligning on a shared vision before moving into solution design.
  • Work hand-in-hand with engineering teams (front-end, middleware, back-end, QA) to ensure high-quality implementation of design solutions.
  • Participate in design critiques, reviews, and guilds to help refine the design process and uphold design quality across the team.
  • Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and product metrics to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of your design work.
  • Contribute to and maintain the design system—creating and updating reusable components and visual assets (e.g., icons, illustrations, typography) to expand the system’s core libraries.
  • Ensure designs follow accessibility standards and support inclusive experiences for a global audience.

Requirements

  • BA/BS in a design-related field (e.g., Interaction Design, Visual Communication, Product Design) or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5–7 years of experience working in digital product or UX/UI design teams.
  • Experience collaborating with distributed and remote teams.
  • Familiarity with product-led growth principles and UX research practices within agile or iterative development cycles.
  • Strong foundation in visual and interaction design principles—typography, layout, grid systems, color, hierarchy, and composition.
  • General understanding of computer science principles and how modern software is built.
  • A strong portfolio or real-world case studies demonstrating T-shaped design skills and recent work.
  • Proficiency with design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.). Knowledge of AI tools will be considered an added advantage.
  • Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is a plus.
  • Experience in the cloud hosting industry is preferred.
