Job Description:

The UI/UX Professional specializes in developing and maintaining the operation, user experience, and functionality of commercial websites. Working under general supervision with oversight from senior team members, this role focuses on designing web page layouts, content, user interface graphics, and icons using established methodologies. The position involves conducting usability testing and website usage analysis to ensure optimal user experiences without leading design architecture or strategic planning.

Who we're looking for:

You're a curious, technically fluent Experience Designer who leads with research and moves with urgency. This is a technical, user-facing role: you're as comfortable in a command-line tool or a code-based design environment as you are running a research session, and you build trust fast with the product managers and engineers you partner with to turn real user needs into real, working experiences.

Research is at the heart of how our team works. We drive product decisions through discovery and solution framing, and increasingly design for an AI-assisted world: experiences that anticipate the user's next right action, work alongside intelligent and agentic features, and know when the product should act versus ask. We deliver the best experience for users while solving real business problems for our customers.

What you'll do:
  • Lead discovery: facilitate a range of user research and usability testing methods, synthesize findings into clear direction, and translate what you learn into decisions the whole team can act on.
  • Build and maintain user profiles and personas that keep the team grounded in who they're designing for.
  • Partner with product managers, engineers, and fellow designers to design experiences across web and mobile.
  • Design anticipatory, AI-assisted experiences. Surface the next right action, shape how people work alongside intelligent features, and design the trust and control that make those experiences feel safe.
  • Create process flows, information and content architecture, and wireframes at every fidelity, through to high-fidelity, visually accurate design.
  • Build working prototypes in code-based, AI-assisted tooling against our design system, not just clickable mockups.
  • Work day-to-day in command-line and code-adjacent environments as part of the design workflow.
  • Produce accurate design specifications and contribute reusable front-end patterns back to our design system.
  • Use behavioral analytics to validate decisions and iterate.
  • Present research, prototypes, and designs to stakeholders, and partner with your team to gauge whether a solution is actually working.
  • Be an advocate and champion for the user, and design to meet accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA).

Job Qualifications:

What you bring:
  • BA/BS in design, human-computer interaction (HCI), or equivalent professional experience.
  • Two or more years of experience design / product design experience.
  • An online portfolio showing relevant, user-centered work.
  • Strong research skills: real experience facilitating user research and usability testing, interpreting results, and turning them into design decisions.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and a genuine sense of urgency. You communicate clearly, build relationships fast, and keep work moving in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfort working in command-line interfaces and code-based, AI-assisted design tools, or a proven ability to pick
