Full Job Description
Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior UI/UX Designer with 4-6 years of experience to lead and drive the design of intuitive and engaging user experiences across our product portfolio. As a Senior UI/UX Designer, you will be vital in shaping the user experience strategy, mentoring junior designers, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver top-notch digital products.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the end-to-end UX design process, from research and concept development to final implementation.
  • Conduct and synthesize user research to inform design decisions and identify user needs.
  • Develop and iterate on user personas, user journeys, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to ensure design feasibility and alignment with business goals.
  • Conduct usability and A/B testing to validate design solutions and make data-driven improvements.
  • Mentor and guide junior UX designers, providing feedback and ensuring adherence to design best practices.
  • Advocate for user-centered design principles and contribute to continuously improving design processes and methodologies.
  • Stay informed on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in UX design.
  • Present and communicate design concepts and strategies to stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
  • Establish and maintain a scalable design system, including defining the token architecture (color, typography, spacing, elevation, and motion tokens) and building a library of reusable components, patterns, and templates for web and mobile applications.
  • Craft high-quality visual designs that reflect a strong command of typography, color theory, layout, iconography, and motion - demonstrating a clear point of view on what "good" looks like in modern digital product design.
  • Partner with engineering to ensure design tokens are correctly implemented and that the design system is adopted consistently across all product surfaces, maintaining design-to-code fidelity.

Qualifications:
  • 4-6 years of experience in UX design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in creating user-centered designs for web and mobile applications.
  • Proficiency in design tools such as Figma.
  • Deep understanding of UX principles, methodologies, and best practices.
  • Experience leading UX projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate complex user needs into simple, elegant design solutions.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills.
  • Experience with usability testing, A/B testing, and data-driven design.
  • Knowledge of front-end development principles (HTML/CSS) is a plus.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deliver high-quality work on time.
  • Proven experience building or significantly contributing to a design system, with hands-on work defining token structures (primitive and semantic tokens) and authoring component documentation.
  • Strong visual design sensibility with a portfolio that demonstrates mastery of composition, typographic hierarchy, color systems, and a modern aesthetic - not just UX flows and wireframes.
  • Familiarity with design token tooling and workflows (e.g. Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, or equivalent) and experience collaborating with engineers on token implementation in a codebase is a plus.

Core Competencies:
  • Design Leadership: Ability to lead design projects, mentor junior designers, and drive the UX process from concept to execution.
  • Advanced User Research: Expertise in conducting and synthesizing complex user research to inform design decisions and improve user experience.
  • Prototyping & Usability Testing: Proficiency in creating high-fidelity prototypes and conducting usability tests to validate design solutions.
  • Strategic Thinking: The ability to align design work with business goals ensures user experience contributes to overall product success.
  • Communication & Presentation: Strong skills in presenting design concepts and rationale to stakeholders and advocating for user-centered design.
  • Design Systems Expertise: Deep understanding of design system architecture - from establishing token hierarchies (primitive, semantic, and component-level) to building and governing a shared library of components, patterns, and templates that scale across products and platforms.
  • Visual Design Craft: A refined eye for visual quality, with the ability to set a high bar for UI aesthetics - including typography, color, spacing, and interaction design - grounded in an awareness of modern design trends and what distinguishes polished, production-ready interfaces.


Annual Salary Range: $123,000-$145,000 annually, with a generous benefits package that includes paid time off, health, dental, vision, and 401(k) savings plan with match
