    Job Description - UX/UI Designer

    We need a designer who thinks in systems, obsesses over how people actually use things, and can move fluidly between enterprise complexity and consumer simplicity. You''ll own end-to-end experience design across our products - from the first wireframe sketch to the pixel-perfect handoff.

    What you''ll actually do

    You''ll design user experiences across web and mobile for both our enterprise tools and B2C marketplace. That means you''re comfortable navigating a dense workflow one week and optimizing a conversion funnel the next. Specifically:

    • Own the full design arc - research > UX flows > wireframes > high-fidelity UI - in Figma
    • Partner daily with Product, and Engineering to shape what gets built and why
    • Run and synthesize user research and usability testing (not just request it - actually do it)
    • Build and evolve a component library and design system that scales without getting brittle
    • Make hard tradeoffs between user needs, business goals, and technical reality - and articulate why

    What we''re looking for

    • 2 to 6 years designing digital products, with real depth in UX fundamentals - information architecture, interaction design, usability principles.
    • Figma is your primary tool and you''re fast and in-depth in it.
    • You''ve shipped enterprise products with real workflow complexity (not just dashboards).
    • You''ve designed for B2C marketplace dynamics - search, discovery, conversion, trust signals.
    • You think in systems: reusable components, consistent patterns, responsive behavior.
    • You communicate design decisions clearly to people who aren''t designers.
    • A portfolio that shows your process, not just your pixels.

    Bonus points

    • You''ve worked in an agile product team where design runs ahead of engineering, not behind it.
    • You can read (or write) HTML/CSS/React well enough to speak engineering''s language.
    • You have a point of view on - not just compliance, but inclusive design & accessibility as a practice.
    • You''ve used analytics and A/B testing to validate design decisions with data, not just instinct.
    • You've built or worked on a design system and built UIs with those components.
