Full Job Description
Position Overview

We're looking for a UX/UI Designer to design thoughtful, high-quality digital experiences across a range of client engagements. This role is ideal for a curious, collaborative designer who enjoys solving real problems and bringing ideas to life - from early concepts through polished delivery.

In this role, you will partner closely with client product teams and our internal team to turn complex ideas into clear, intuitive, and engaging experiences. You'll be joining real, in-flight work where quality and delivery speed matter, collaborating with experienced designers and growing the instincts that come from shipping things that matter.

What You'll Do

Craft & Delivery
  • Design end-to-end UX/UI deliverables from early exploration and concepting through high-fidelity execution
  • Create wireframes, prototypes, and polished interface designs that balance usability, business goals, and technical constraints
  • Build, evolve, and maintain design systems that support consistency, scalability, and flexibility across products
  • Conduct UX research activities including usability testing and user interviews to inform design decisions
  • Use Figma confidently for design, prototyping, documentation, and collaboration
  • Bring an AI-forward mindset to your design work, using tools like Figma AI and Claude to improve efficiency, creativity, and design quality

Collaboration & Communication
  • Partner closely with client product teams to understand problems, shape solutions, and deliver meaningful outcomes
  • Collaborate with engineers, strategists, and delivery leads to bring designs to life effectively and efficiently
  • Participate in agile workflows and balance multiple projects, clients, and industries while maintaining a high bar for craft

Leadership & Influence
  • Take ownership of design work end-to-end and follow through with craft and consistency
  • Contribute to internal initiatives such as marketing, pitches, and the evolution of the design practice
  • Stay curious and keep growing - bring new ideas, experiment often, and embrace continuous improvement

What You'll Bring
  • 2+ years of professional experience as a UX/UI Designer working on digital products or platforms
  • Strong hands-on design skills with deep proficiency in Figma
  • Experience building and maintaining design systems in real-world product environments
  • Working knowledge of UX research methods including usability testing and user interviews
  • Experience working directly with clients or cross-functional product teams
  • A collaborative mindset with comfort giving and receiving design feedback
  • Ability to adapt to design approaches across different industries, users, and problem spaces
  • Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI-assisted design tools and workflows (e.g., Figma AI, Claude)
  • Experience with motion design, advanced prototyping tools, front-end concepts, or workshop facilitation is a plus

You'll Do Well Here if You Are
  • A doer. You see something broken and fix it. You'd rather move on clarity than wait for certainty.
  • A fast learner who knows you don't know everything. The AI landscape changes weekly. You're senior enough to know better and curious enough to keep learning anyway.
  • Direct in a way that makes the work better. You give honest feedback. You'd rather have the hard conversation than blow smoke.
  • Obsessed with craft. You know genius is in the details. You ship exceptional, not perfect, and you don't put your name on work you wouldn't stand behind.
  • Built for ownership. You honor commitments, admit mistakes fast, and back your teammates when a decision costs something. No handoffs, no finger-pointing.
  • All in. You treat clients' businesses like your own. You take the work seriously without taking yourself seriously.
  • Resourceful when the budget, timeline, or team is tight. Constraints don't slow you down. They sharpen you.
  • Glad to be in the room with people who care as much as you do. Our teams average fifteen-plus years of experience. We hire people who push each other to do better work.
