• Collaborate with engineers to ensure designs are technically feasible, well-documented, and implemented with fidelity.
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI in Figma, iterating quickly based on team and user feedback.
• Design interfaces for complex, data-rich workflows that simplify the experience for technical and non-technical users.
• Facilitate design reviews and usability testing sessions to validate design choices and inform iterations.
• Provide mentorship and feedback to other designers, supporting a culture of craft and consistency.
• Advocate for user-centered design principles, accessibility, and systemized thinking across the product organization.

• 5+ years of product design experience, ideally within SaaS or data-heavy platforms.
• Strong ability to translate product requirements into screens, balancing usability with technical constraints.
• Experience collaborating directly with product owners and engineering teams in fast-paced environments.
• Strong understanding of UX processes: user flows, journey mapping, usability testing, and iteration.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills to bridge design, product, and engineering.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality work quickly in a startup environment.
