  • Rapid UI design: translate requirements into clear flows, screens, and interactive prototypes that are ready for development.
  • Frontend collaboration: work closely with developers to ensure designs are feasible, consistent, and easy to implement.
  • Quality & accessibility: apply UX/UI best practices and maintain design consistency across applications.
  • Documentation: help improve component guidelines and design documentation.

  • 3+ years in UX/UI or product design, ideally in enterprise or system-heavy products.
  • Strong experience with Figma (Auto Layout, Variants, variables/tokens, components, prototyping).
  • Experience working with or contributing to a design system.
  • Understanding of front-end principles (CSS, components, responsiveness) and ability to collaborate effectively with developers.
  • Comfortable working in a Microsoft-based environment (Teams, Azure DevOps, SharePoint).
  • Clear communicator, team player, and efficient problem-solver.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with component documentation tools.
  • Experience with PWA (Progressive Web App) development.
  • Accessibility (WCAG) awareness.
  • Experience with React/TypeScript environments.

  • Clearer design–development collaboration and fewer handoff issues.
  • Product teams recognize you as a go-to person for efficient, system-aligned design work.

Why join

  • Work in a pragmatic, product-driven environment with real impact.
  • Collaborate with experienced analysts and engineers.

  • Join a friendly, cross-functional team that values clarity and efficiency.
