• Component Design: Design modular UI components that align with modern frontend frameworks (such as Vue.js, Vuetify and pure CSS).
• Prototyping New Features: Support the design phase of new initiatives, including AI drawer assistants, proactive reporting interfaces, and journey visualization tools.
• Developer Handoff: Prepare design assets, specs, and documentation to ensure seamless handoffs to the frontend engineering team.
• Collaboration: Participate in brainstorming sessions, design reviews, and strategic UX integration planning.

Required Qualifications

• Communication: Strong ability to communicate design rationale and actively incorporate feedback from senior team members.

Bonus Points (Nice to Have)

• Familiarity with frontend technologies (HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS, or Vue.js/Vuetify) to better understand developer constraints.
• Interest or experience in designing interfaces for AI tools and heavy operational UI.
• Experience with data visualization (e.g., charting and graph UI).
