• Strong understanding of design principles, user-centric methodologies, design systems, and prototyping techniques.
• Experience with LLM-powered tools for design prototyping and AI-assisted workflows (e.g., Figma AI, Midjourney for concepts).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to present ideas clearly and work in multidisciplinary teams.
• High attention to detail, with a portfolio demonstrating pixel-perfect designs and problem-solving abilities.
• Familiarity with front-end technologies (e.g., HTML/CSS, JavaScript) to collaborate effectively with developers.
• Experience conducting user research, usability testing, and iterating based on data-driven insights.
• Portfolio that demonstrates your design skills, process, achievements, and ability to solve complex problems in web and mobile contexts.
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic startup environment, managing multiple projects and adapting to changing priorities.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and inclusive design practices.

About The Role

• Conduct initial product analysis, including user research, competitor benchmarking, and requirement gathering to inform design strategies.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, product managers, and stakeholders, to understand project requirements and translate them into intuitive user experiences.
• Design and develop user-centric interfaces for web and mobile applications that align with customer needs, business goals, and accessibility standards.
• Create wireframes, user flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs using tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch.
• Prototype designs with LLM-powered tools (e.g., AI-assisted prototyping in Figma AI or similar) to rapidly iterate and validate concepts.
• Build and maintain design systems, including Figma Variables, Components, and libraries to ensure consistency across products.
• Incorporate MCP (Material Component Palette) principles or equivalent frameworks for responsive and adaptive UI elements.
• Optimize designs for different domains, such as e-commerce, SaaS, fintech, or health tech, with a focus on web and mobile platforms.
• Perform usability testing, A/B testing, and iterate based on user feedback and analytics data.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in UI/UX design.
• Contribute to the design team’s knowledge and development by sharing new ideas, techniques, and conducting internal workshops.
• Assist in the preparation of presentations, prototypes, and design documentation to demonstrate concepts to stakeholders and leadership.
• Ensure attention to detail in all design deliverables, including pixel-perfect visuals, typography, color schemes, and interaction patterns.
• Facilitate effective communication across teams, including articulating design rationale and collaborating on agile sprints.
• Mentor junior designers or interns, providing guidance on design processes and tools.
• Integrate accessibility features (e.g., WCAG compliance) and inclusive design practices into all projects.
• Analyze user data and metrics to refine designs and improve user engagement.
• Explore and implement motion design, animations, and micro-interactions to enhance user interfaces.
