Position Summary: - We are seeking a versatile UX Engineer to lead the visual and interactive design for a major product rewrite.
- As we rebuild our platform in React, we need a creative visionary who can design a fresh, modern user experience from the ground up, while possessing the technical chops to help bring it to life.
- The ideal candidate bridges the gap between design and development.
- You don't need to be a full-stack engineer, but you must be comfortable working within a React codebase to update Storybook components, tweak UI elements, and maintain our design system. Most importantly, you need a strong technical intuition to understand how your designs translate to code, allowing you to balance creative vision with engineering pragmatism.
Required Education: - Bachelor's Degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors, Behavioral Research, Computer Science, Information Technology or other job-related degree;

Required Work Experience: - 2 years user interface design experience.
Required Technologies:Technical Skills (React):
- You must understand the medium you are designing for. While you don't need to be a backend engineer, you need enough React and modern CSS skills to update our Storybook design system, make visual tweaks in the codebase, and understand the complexity of translating your designs into functioning code.
Systems Ownership:
- You will take ownership of our design architecture. You must be able to independently establish an organized, intuitive repository for our design files, assets, and UX testing protocols, ensuring developers and managers can always find the exact resources they need.
Proactive Vision & Creative Visionary:
- We need a self-starter who drives our "fresh new UX". You should naturally explore new design paradigms, proactively pitch improvements, and have the creative confidence to define the visual direction of our product rewrite.
Modern Prototyping Tools:
- You must be proficient in modern UI tools (like Figma) to quickly and iteratively create wireframes, prototypes, and mockups. Your designs should have attention to detail, be accessible (WCAG compliant), and proofread for typos before they reach the development team.
Preferred Qualifications: - UX Testing setup & Execution, UX writing and microcopy, Motion design/Animation libraries, Complex task flow analysis.
Authorized US Worker - US Citizens and those authorized to work in the US are encouraged to apply. We are unable to sponsor at this time.
