Senior UI/UX Designer

About the Role

As a Senior UI/UX Designer, you will own end-to-end design of pixel-perfect, intuitive interfaces across web and native mobile apps — from research and wireframes through high-fidelity prototypes and developer handoff. You will build and evolve our Figma design system and leverage Figma Make and AI-assisted tooling to ship faster without compromising craft.

This role is with a product-based company, which means you will own design for products we build, ship, and iterate on ourselves — not client work. We expect deep fluency in typography, color, grid, iconography, responsive layout, WCAG accessibility, and platform guidelines (iOS HIG, Material Design).

Key Responsibilities:

UI/UX Design & Delivery

• Lead end-to-end product design — research, wireframes, user flows, high-fidelity UI, prototypes, and dev handoff.
• Ship pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces for web and mobile that hold up across breakpoints, platforms, and edge cases.
• Translate complex requirements into elegant, scalable UI consistent with brand and accessibility standards.

Figma Components & Design Systems

• Build and govern a Figma design system using auto-layout, variants, component properties, variables, modes (light/dark, density, brand), and nested components.
• Architect reusable component libraries with clear naming, documentation, versioning, and library publishing.
• Own design tokens (color, type, spacing, radius, elevation) and keep them aligned with the front-end implementation.

Figma Make & AI-Powered Workflow

• Use Figma Make to rapidly prototype and iterate — turning concepts into interactive prototypes in hours, not weeks.
• Leverage AI-assisted tooling for first drafts, content variants, accessibility audits, and faster handoff — with quality guardrails so craft is never diluted.

Collaboration, Quality & Innovation

• Partner with PMs, engineers, and stakeholders; lead reviews, give critique, and mentor junior designers.
• Conduct user research and usability testing; fold findings back into the design.
• Ensure WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, ARIA correctness, and cross-browser / cross-platform performance. Run UI audits and drive fixes.

Required Skills & Expertise

• 5–8 years in Product / UI/UX Design with a strong portfolio of shipped web and mobile products, ideally at a product company.
• Expert-level Figma — auto-layout, variants, component properties, variables/modes, prototyping, and library publishing.
• Hands-on experience with Figma Make or equivalent AI-assisted design-to-prototype tooling.
• Proven experience building and scaling design systems and reusable component libraries.
• Deep knowledge of WCAG, ARIA, inclusive design, iOS HIG, and Material Design.
• Strong documentation, version control, and async collaboration in Agile/Scrum environments.
