This role requires someone who owns design direction and brings solutions to review, not problems to be solved for them. You'll work directly with Product and Engineering to ship features that help regulated industries make better decisions about their customers. This role emphasizes UX thinking: understanding user problems, shaping product direction, and designing solutions that work, not just interfaces that look right.</p> <h2>Primary duties for this position include</h2> <ul> <li>Own design direction from problem framing through delivery. Translate business needs into design decisions without waiting for direction.</li> <li>Make and defend design recommendations. Present a point of view, not options. Know when to hold your position and when to incorporate feedback.</li> <li>Interpret scope broadly. Understand that examples indicate patterns, not boundaries.</li> <li>Contribute to our component-based design system by identifying reuse opportunities and new component requirements early.</li> <li>Ship work that catches gaps before review, not during. Self-edit against our Design Ethos without prompting.</li> <li>Drive AI integration in design workflows. Bring working practices and ideas for how AI can accelerate UX and production work.</li> </ul> <h2>Professional Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>3-5 years designing interactive digital products (from in-house, agency, or startup roles).</li> <li>Demonstrated ability to make design decisions and defend them under scrutiny. We will test this directly in the interview.</li> <li>Proficiency in Figma.</li> <li>Familiarity with web technologies and their design implications.</li> <li>Strong communication: you can articulate why, not just what.</li> <li>Active AI workflows in your design practice. We'll ask you to demonstrate specific tools, prompts, and outcomes.</li> <li>Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.</li> </ul> <h2>Preferred Skills and Experience</h2> <ul> <li>Experience designing for regulated industries (finance, utilities, healthcare) where design decisions affect real outcomes.</li> <li>Experience with data-dense interfaces, dashboards, or AI-powered products.</li> <li>Familiarity with behavior tracking tools (Amplitude, Pendo, Segment).</li> </ul> <h2>Interview Expectations</h2> <p>Our process includes a live design exercise where you'll critique real platform screens and make decisions under time pressure. We're evaluating judgment and response to feedback, not just craft.</p>
