Senior UX/UI Designer (Design Systems and Delivery Orchestrator)

About Silicon Spirit

Silicon Spirit is a design studio that partners with organizations across Europe and the Americas to solve complex business challenges through innovative, user-centered design. Our clients range from ambitious startups to large players in the financial and eCommerce industry. We move fast, ship real product, and care deeply about craft.

Role Description

We're hiring a Senior UX/UI Designer to take ownership of client delivery. This is not a support role and it is not a learn-on-the-job role. You'll be the designer carrying projects from discovery through final handoff, often as the primary design point of contact. You'll work directly alongside the creative director as a strategic partner, not under close supervision.

This is a hands-on role with a hybrid work arrangement allowing up to 4 days remote work.

Required qualifications

• 5-7 years in a well defined product/UX/UI design role, with a track record of project ownership and working with fast-moving teams
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including design systems, components, variables, and auto-layout
• Demonstrated ability to take a design from Figma to clean HTML/CSS (front-end framework familiarity is a strong plus) and dev handoff
• Strong command of composition rules, typography, design patterns, and core UX principles
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator)
• A portfolio with at least 2 case studies showing real problems solved through design, from research to shipped outcome.
• Fluent, client-ready communication in English and Romanian
• Experience planning and delegating work: You know how to break a project down, hand off clearly, and review without micromanaging
• Demonstrated fluency with agentic AI tools in a real design workflow: You use them to move faster and lift the quality of your output, not as a novelty
• Self-directed work ethic and the judgment to make and defend decisions

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with B2B/SaaS platforms or the retail/eCommerce sector
• Experience working directly with international (especially US) clients
• Familiarity with no-code tools (Webflow, Framer) and/or front-end development beyond markup, for fast prototyping.
• Familiarity with frontend animation tools and Video/Image Gen AI tools.

What you'll own

• Lead client projects end-to-end: research, IA, user flows, wireframing, prototyping, high-fidelity UI, and design systems.
• Build and maintain scalable design systems and component libraries
• Run usability testing and iterate based on real feedback
• Present and defend design decisions directly to clients and stakeholders
• Produce developer-ready handoff and collaborate closely with engineering to ensure faithful implementation
• Plan and delegate work to junior/mid-level designers, review their output, and keep projects on track
• Use agentic AI tools to accelerate your work, from research and ideation to UI generation, prototyping, and handoff
• Manage your own timelines, milestones, and deliverables with minimal oversight

What we offer:

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary: 10,000 - 12,000 RON net/month (commensurate with experience)
• Performance-based bonuses tied to project outcomes
• Premium medical subscription
• Life-insurance plan
• Latest generation MacBook Pro
• Co-working subscription at any worldwide Spaces/Regus location
• Hybrid work model: 4 days remote, 1 day in office
• Structured workflow with clear tasks, milestones, and daily syncs
• Direct exposure to international and US-facing projects across diverse industries
• Conference attendance and professional development budget

2. Portfolio link (Must include at least 2 case studies that depict problems solved through design) or live examples of apps and platforms you have worked on.
