Complete Description:
- We require a dedicated UI/UX Designer & Requirements Specialist to design front-end screens (wireframes, mockups, interaction flows), document detailed functional and design requirements, and support analysis and testing activities for the Angular AppDev team. This is a hybrid role that blends UX design, business analysis, requirements writing, and QA support - not a traditional design-only position.
- A specialized contractor is necessary to ensure high-quality, development-ready requirements and properly scoped tickets. The role is critical for producing accurate, accessibility-compliant, developer-ready stories that prevent oversized tickets, improve workflow clarity, and reduce downstream defects.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design screens including wireframes, mockups, and interaction patterns for front-end applications.
- Conduct gap analysis between current and desired workflows and document risks.
Write detailed, well-scoped tickets and user stories in Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub.
- Break large feature requests into realistic, properly sized development units.
- Develop personas and convert user needs into actionable design and functional requirements.
- Tag, organize, and refine tickets for clean hand-off to Angular developers.
Define clear front-end requirements that bridge design, requirements writing, and development needs.
- Support testing activities, including accessibility testing using automated tools, screen readers, and manual keyboard/tabbing tests.
- Potentially contribute to front-end coding or testing, depending on skillset.
Required Qualifications:
- Proven experience in UI/UX screen design (wireframes, mockups, interaction design).
- Strong experience writing detailed requirements, user stories, and well-formed tickets.
- Significant hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (ADO) and GitHub for ticket/story workflows.
- Ability to conduct gap analysis, identify risks, and translate findings into actionable requirements.
- Certified accessibility professional (CPACC, WAS, or equivalent).
- Deep understanding of WCAG 2.2 AA, Section 508, and Title I/Title II compliance - with the ability to apply and test against these standards directly.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Working understanding of Angular and general front-end development concepts.
- Experience working in Agile delivery environments.
Understanding of CI/CD processes and how front-end work moves through pipelines.
- Experience contributing to front-end coding or testing tasks.
- Experience developing personas based on user research.
