• Have experience designing simple, quality, end-to-end solutions in a highly technical domain.
• Be able to communicate design rationale in a structured manner to foster collaboration and learning.
• Understand how to create solutions that exist inside a broader eco-system for a seamless user experience.

Ideally You

• Have professional experience as a UX designer.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment providing designs for multiple development teams.
• Ability to plan and moderate discovery activities to better understand user journeys and needs.
• Experience with validation at various phases of the design process (interviews, click-through validation, usability sessions, etc.).
• Experience developing style guides and design systems, leveraging them during feature design.
• Proficiency with tools such as Figma, Confluence, and Jira.
• Understanding of front-end development tools (HTML/CSS/JavaScript).
