What You’ll Do 

Design experiences that earn trust – Translate product requirements and user insights into thoughtful, intuitive UX flows and clean, modern UI designs.

Craft flexible systems – Help expand our component library and visual patterns to support consistent, scalable design. 

Prototype & validate – Create low- and mid-fidelity prototypes in Figma, test ideas with real users, and incorporate feedback quickly. 

Work closely with product & engineering – Collaborate in sprint planning, participate in design reviews, and partner with developers to bring designs to life. 

Own your output – Produce portfolio-ready deliverables such as annotated mockups, user flows, and feedback-informed iterations.
