About Courted
Courted is the leading AI-powered platform for real estate recruiting, retention, and market intelligence. We help brokerages and teams understand agent performance, recruit strategically, and retain top talent – all in one place.
The real estate industry moves over $100B in annual commissions and it's still powered by spreadsheets, cold calls, and guesswork. We're changing that with data, workflow, and machine learning – making every recruiting and retention decision smarter. We're a high-growth SaaS company shipping fast, working smart, and building transformative tools for the next generation of real estate leaders.
We care a lot about the work and very little about titles. We debate ideas, not people, fix things in daylight, and try to keep a sense of humor while doing it.
The Role
We’re looking for a UI Designer with 5+ years of experience to own high-fidelity design work across our product.
This role is focused on visual design and interface clarity. You’ll be working from defined UX flows, low-fidelity wireframes, and product requirements – your job is to take that foundation and turn it into polished, intuitive, and production-ready UI.
We already have a strong UX foundation and design system in place. Where this role comes in is elevating the visual layer – bringing structure, hierarchy, and clarity to complex workflows, especially in areas where the design system doesn’t fully answer the problem.
This is an independent, async-first role. You’ll be expected to take a brief and run with it, bringing a clear point of view to design reviews and making thoughtful decisions – not just executing what’s in front of you.
What You'll Work On
- High-fidelity designs for net-new product features
- Translating UX flows and wireframes into clear, well-structured interfaces
- Visual problem-solving beyond the design system – new patterns, layouts, and data presentations where needed
- Interfaces for complex, multi-step workflows where clarity and usability matter as much as aesthetics
- Engineering-ready Figma files with proper component usage, variants, and annotations for build
How You’ll Work
- You’ll receive workflows, requirements, and low-fidelity designs from the UX and product team
- You are not responsible for defining the UX, but you are expected to understand it and ensure the final UI makes sense
- You’ll work independently and present designs with rationale during review
- You’ll prepare final design artifacts for engineering handoff; implementation QA will be handled by the core team
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of UI/product design experience, ideally in SaaS or a data-heavy product environment
- Strong visual design instincts – you can make something look excellent, not just consistent
- Fluency working within an established design system, and the judgment to extend it tastefully when needed
- Experience with complex product UI – data-dense screens, graphs, tables, dashboards
- Expert-level Figma skills: hi-fi design, prototyping, component architecture, and clean handoff files
- Comfortable working independently and showing up to design review with a point of view
What This Role is Not
- Not a UX ownership role – you won’t be responsible for defining product flows or strategy
- Not a pure execution role – we’re not looking for someone to just “make things pretty”
- Not a marketing or brand design role – this is focused on product UI
