UI Designer (Mobile)

Hybrid – New York City (Manhattan)

Must be based close enough to commute for in‑office collaboration

About the Role

We’re looking for a UI‑craft‑driven Product Designer with strong visual instincts and experience designing consumer‑facing digital products, with a focus on native mobile applications. This role is ideal for a designer who excels in high‑fidelity interface design, cares deeply about visual polish, and enjoys bringing clarity, personality, and refinement to product experiences.

You’ll partner closely with a senior product and UX lead, owning visual execution and helping translate product direction into elegant, production‑ready mobile interfaces. While mobile experience is important, we’re especially interested in designers who demonstrate excellent UI craft, strong design fundamentals, and the ability to elevate product experiences through thoughtful visual design, interaction, and motion.

This role plays a key part in raising the overall quality, creativity, and visual consistency of a large‑scale mobile app.

What You’ll Do

• Design high‑fidelity UI for new features and enhancements across a native mobile app
• Translate product requirements, user flows, and low‑fidelity concepts into polished, visually compelling interfaces
• Apply strong visual hierarchy, layout, typography, color, and spacing to guide user behavior and improve usability
• Create interactive prototypes to communicate flows, interaction behavior, and edge cases
• Design thoughtful loading states, progress indicators, empty states, and micro‑interactions that enhance perceived performance and delight
• Work within and help evolve an established mobile design system, contributing refinements and visual improvements
• Partner closely with engineering to ensure high‑quality execution and faithful implementation of designs
• Balance multiple projects while maintaining a high bar for UI craft and attention to detail

What We’re Looking For

• Strong visual UI craft demonstrated through a polished portfolio
• 3–5 years of experience designing digital products, with meaningful experience in native mobile applications (iOS and/or Android)
• Ability to take UX direction and product concepts and elevate them into high‑quality, high‑fidelity UI
• Excellent understanding of visual design fundamentals, including typography, color, spacing, layout, and hierarchy
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, auto layout, variants, and libraries
• Experience working within design systems or component libraries at scale
• Comfort collaborating with product managers, UX partners, and engineers
• Ability to produce production‑ready designs suitable for development handoff

Nice to Have

• Experience with animation or motion design
• Strong interaction design instincts and attention to micro‑interactions
• Experience designing for consumer‑facing or high‑visibility products
• Comfort contributing visual perspective in UX‑leaning environments

Portfolio Expectations

• Portfolio should showcase strong visual design and UI craft
• Mobile app work is preferred, but we’re open to designers with exceptional visual polish across platforms
• Emphasis on high‑fidelity execution rather than research‑heavy case studies
• Demonstrated ability to elevate rough or low‑fidelity concepts into refined interfaces
• Real‑world or shipped product work preferred over speculative projects
• Bonus for showcasing motion, interaction details, or visual refinement

Work Environment

This is a hybrid role based in New York City, with in‑office collaboration expected several days per week.

Why This Role Matters

This role supports highly visible activation, onboarding, and acquisition experiences within a large‑scale mobile product. You’ll act as a visual design counterpart to a UX‑leaning product lead, helping close a creativity and polish gap while directly shaping the look, feel, and quality of an experience used by millions.
