- Use Figma and established design systems to create scalable, consistent, and reusable design patterns and components.
- Incorporate user feedback, analytics, and usability findings into iterative design improvements.
- Ensure designs meet accessibility standards, including WCAG guidelines and user-centered design best practices.
- Present design concepts and rationale to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Collaborate within an Agile product development environment and maintain close alignment with engineering throughout implementation.
- Balance usability, accessibility, business objectives, and technical constraints when making design recommendations.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional UX/UI design experience supporting complex web applications, enterprise software, or digital products.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating the full UX lifecycle, including user research, journey mapping, wireframing, prototyping, interaction design, and high-fidelity UI design.
- Advanced experience with Figma or comparable modern design and prototyping tools.
- Hands-on experience conducting user interviews, usability testing, and iterative design validation.
- Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and WCAG accessibility standards.
- Experience working within Agile, cross-functional product teams alongside product managers, engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to clearly explain design rationale to technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing AI-powered, conversational, or agentic user experiences, including chat interfaces and human-AI interactions.
- Experience designing data-intensive applications, analytics platforms, research platforms, or scientific software.
- Experience within healthcare, life sciences, biomedical research, or other regulated industries.
- Strong understanding of design systems and experience creating reusable UI patterns and components.
- Experience leveraging analytics and user behavior data to guide design decisions.
