Full-timeRemote FriendlyEngineering, Information Technology
We are a UK-based tech team seeking a dedicated UI/UX Designer to join us as a remote independent contractor. You’ll work closely with developers and product stakeholders to design intuitive, data-centric applications that balance usability, consistency, and clean design. This role requires someone who can operate at both the product discovery level (low-fi wireframes, user journeys) and the pixel-perfect delivery level (final UI in Figma, component libraries, spacing systems).

The Role

What You’ll Do

  • Lead UI/UX design in Figma, from wireframes and prototypes to final design assets
  • Work with the product team to create low-fidelity wireframes for rapid discovery and iteration
  • Translate concepts into clean, logical, scalable UI/UX flows that developers can implement with confidence
  • Build and maintain a Figma component library / design system aligned with React best practices
  • Collaborate with developers to ensure designs are feasible, consistent, and well-structured
  • Conduct design reviews and provide feedback to ensure quality and usability
  • Pay attention to micro-interactions, spacing, typography, and accessibility
  • Support continuous improvement of product usability and visual consistency

Ideal Profile

We’re Looking For Someone Who

  • Takes pride in design quality and consistency
  • Can challenge assumptions and improve usability without overcomplicating things
  • Thrives in collaboration with developers and product stakeholders
  • Is proactive, self-disciplined, and committed to delivering work that “just makes sense”

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional UI/UX design experience (SaaS, dashboards, or complex apps preferred)
  • Expert in Figma: components, auto-layout, variants, design tokens, prototyping
  • Strong portfolio showcasing clean, modern UI/UX for data-heavy applications
  • Ability to design component-based systems that map well to React or similar frameworks
  • Experience producing both low-fi wireframes and high-fi production-ready designs
  • Solid understanding of UX principles, user journeys, and accessibility best practices
  • Comfortable collaborating with developers, understanding their workflows and constraints
  • Detail-oriented — avoids sloppy design, enforces consistency in spacing, typography, and interactions
  • Excellent English communication skills (verbal and written)
  • Self-motivated, organized, and able to balance speed in discovery with precision in delivery

What's on Offer?

  • Opportunity within company with a solid track record of success
  • Great work culture
  • Opportunity to make a positive impact
