As a UX Designer who will be contributing to redesign our existing product with “modern” customer-centric user interface and defining end-to-end experience for new products/initiatives, working collaboratively with other designers, product management, and engineering team.

Responsibilities:
• User research & discovery: Plan and run interviews, task analysis, surveys; synthesize insights into personas, and opportunity maps.

• Information architecture: Define navigation, taxonomy, and content hierarchy; design flows for key journeys and edge cases.

• Interaction design: Create wireframes, user flows, and prototypes (low→high fidelity); specify component behaviors and micro-interactions.

• Visual & motion design: Establish visual hierarchy, layout, typography, iconography, motion principles; ensure consistency and craft.

• Design systems: Build and maintain reusable components, tokens, and patterns; partner with engineering for implementation parity.

• Accessibility: Design and review for WCAG compliance (contrast, focus, semantics, ARIA), keyboard/voice support, captions/alt text.

• Usability testing: Plan and run tests, A/Bs, heuristic reviews; translate findings into iterations.

• Content design: Write and structure UI copy, error messages, empty states, and onboarding.

• Dev collaboration: Provide specs, states, and assets; participate in sprint ceremonies, QA design.

• AI experience strategy: Identify where AI adds value (assist, automate, augment); prioritize use cases and define the “role” of the AI.

Measures of Success (OKRs) :
• Task success rate: % of attempts that meet acceptance criteria (if no change requests come from PM team)

• State coverage: % of shipped flows with full specs.

• Error & recovery: rate of UX-preventable errors;

• Accessibility compliance: WCAG issues per release;

• Design→dev parity: % components/states implemented to spec; escaped UX bugs post-release.

• State coverage: % of key flows documented across ideal/empty/loading/error/permission states.

• Experiment velocity: A/Bs or usability studies run per quarter

About You:
• 4–6+ years designing end-to-end web product experiences with shipped work.

• User research hands-on: plan/run interviews and usability tests; turn findings into decisions.

• Design systems: contribute components/tokens, work with engineers to achieve parity in code.

• Content design basics: clear microcopy, states, error messages, and empty/loading patterns.

• Collaboration: agile rituals, developer handoff, QA of UX details; excellent written/spoken communication.

• Tools: Figma (auto-layout, variants), FigJam/Miro, prototyping (Figma prototypes), Jira.

• AI UX literacy: knows when to assist/automate/augment; can design for ambiguity, partial confidence, and recovery.
