UI Designer Job Description

About the role

We are looking for a UI Designer to shape how our product looks and feels, screen by screen. You will turn wireframes and user needs into polished interfaces, maintain a consistent design language, and work shoulder to shoulder with product and engineering to ship work that is both beautiful and practical. This role is ideal for someone with a sharp eye for detail who cares as much about spacing and states as they do about the overall vision.

Key responsibilities

  • Design high-fidelity screens, components, and interaction states in Figma
  • Build and maintain a consistent design system and UI library
  • Partner with engineers to ship pixel-accurate, responsive interfaces

Day-to-day responsibilities

  • Turn wireframes and product requirements into high-fidelity UI in Figma
  • Design responsive layouts that hold up across mobile, tablet, and desktop
  • Define and document components, tokens, and patterns in a shared design system
  • Specify hover, focus, empty, loading, and error states for every screen
  • Create interactive prototypes to test flows before engineering builds them
  • Run design reviews and incorporate feedback from product and stakeholders
  • Hand off assets, specs, and redlines that engineers can implement without guesswork
  • Apply accessibility standards such as color contrast and touch target sizing
  • Keep visual consistency across typography, spacing, color, and iconography
  • Audit shipped screens against designs and log polish fixes for follow-up

Requirements

  • 2 or more years designing user interfaces for web or mobile products
  • A portfolio showing shipped product work, not just concept pieces
  • Fluency in Figma including components, variants, and auto layout
  • Bachelor's degree in design, HCI, or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Solid grasp of layout, typography, color theory, and responsive design
