- Conduct guerrilla usability testing, synthesize findings, and present clear next steps.
- Document user flows, edge cases, and interaction patterns to keep developers aligned.
- Collaborate daily with engineers during sprint planning to ensure design intent survives implementation.
- Support senior UX and UI teammates by preparing research plans, affinity maps, and competitive audits.
- Champion accessibility (WCAG 2.2) and mobile-first heuristics in every deliverable.
- Work remotely across U.S. time zones, attending stand-ups and design reviews via video.
What You’ll Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, Cognitive Science, or related field.
- Portfolio showcasing at least two end-to-end projects with documented problem statements, iterations, and outcomes.
- Proficiency in Figma components, auto-layout, and interactive prototyping; basic Sketch knowledge welcomed.
- Comfort running moderated usability sessions and translating insights into actionable design tweaks.
- Foundational understanding of design systems, atomic design methodology, and responsive grids.
- Fluency with Jira or comparable agile boards for ticket creation and status tracking.
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication—equally at home explaining pixels to engineers or flows to stakeholders.
- Curiosity, adaptability, and a growth mindset; you thrive on constructive critique and evolving best practices.
Growth Path
Year one focuses on mastering research methods and strengthening visual hierarchy skills. Year two expands to owning features, contributing to the design system, and mentoring interns. The road beyond leads toward Product Designer II, UX Researcher, or Interaction Architect—choose the trajectory that resonates.
