We are seeking a hands-on Product Designer to create and ship authentication, account-management, and account-security experiences across web and mobile surfaces. This role owns small-to-mid scoped initiatives from problem framing and exploration through validation, engineering-ready specifications, implementation quality assurance, and launch, while partnering with senior designers on larger efforts. Enterprise experience strongly preferred. Job Description • Own end-to-end product design for defined authentication and account-management initiatives. • Frame problems, explore concepts, iterate with partners, and deliver engineering-ready specifications. • Audit and map current sign-up, sign-in, routing, account, and security-settings experiences. • Identify inconsistencies and seams across related identity and account flows. • Design complex, multi-path experiences that respond to user and account conditions. • Produce rapid MVP explorations for experimental work. • Deliver responsive web and mobile-web designs with complete empty, loading, error, edge-case, and recovery states. • Create redlines, interaction details, and clear implementation documentation for engineering. • Conduct lightweight usability validation and draft interface copy for content review. • Provide design quality assurance through implementation and launch. • Participate in engineering scoping and refinement, reasoning about authentication, verification, session states, routing logic, and system dependencies. • Work within an established design system and extend it responsibly when new patterns are needed. Qualifications Must-Have Skills • A portfolio demonstrating strong product and visual design craft, including end-to-end web and mobile application flows. Applications without a portfolio will be considered incomplete. • Product-design experience shipping production software, ideally involving account, onboarding, or other flow-based product experiences. • Experience designing, shipping, and iterating in close partnership with product management and engineering. • Proven ability to design complex, multi-path flows that branch according to user or account conditions. • Thoughtful handling of edge cases, error and recovery states, accessibility, and user control across connected surfaces. • Strong UX principles and the ability to translate business and technical requirements into clear design direction. • Experience working within and responsibly extending an established design system. • Mastery of Figma, solid prototyping skills, and experience producing clear engineering-handoff documentation. • Clear communication and a collaborative, low-ego approach to cross-functional work. • Balanced strength in systems thinking and visual execution. • Technical literacy to reason directly with engineers about authentication flows, verification and session states, routing logic, system dependencies, and error handling. Coding is not required. • 3-5 years of UX design experience. Portfolio evidence and case-study depth matter more than tenure; candidates must show shipped, engineering-implemented work on complex multi-path flows and the ability to operate independently on defined initiatives. Nice-to-Have Skills • Experience with authentication, identity, account security, or other trust-related product experiences. • Experience designing sign-up, sign-in, onboarding, settings, or preferences interfaces. • A data-informed approach using research, experimentation, and product metrics. • Experience running lightweight usability testing and drafting interface copy with research and content partners. • Experience designing for international audiences or regulated requirements. • A portfolio case study showing an authentication, verification, or account-lifecycle flow redesigned end to end with measurable friction or conversion outcomes, or comparable workflow mapping and systems reasoning. • Prior contractor experience with a record of quickly learning complex product areas and operating independently. • Experience identifying inconsistencies across identity or account surfaces and driving cross-flow alignment. • Thoughtful use of AI for exploration, prototyping, research synthesis, or documentation while preserving human judgment. • A bias toward operationally useful artifacts that engineers can build from. Required Tools & Platforms • Figma. • An established or enterprise-scale design system. • Prototyping and engineering-handoff workflows. • Jira, Confluence, Slack, or equivalent collaboration tools. Location, Time & Engagement • Candidates must be based in the United States. • US Central Time working-hour coverage is required. • This is a remote contract engagement at 40 hours per week. • The anticipated engagement runs through March 31, 2027. • This is not currently a contract-to-hire opportunity.
