UX Designer

iSolved HCM; Hyderabad; On-site; INR 1,800,000 - 2,800,000; Full time

Job summary

isolved is a leading HCM platform looking for a UX Designer to drive end-to-end product experiences in a hybrid setup (office/remote). You will work across discovery, flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, and prototyping, collaborating with engineers and PMs to ship thoughtful, data-driven solutions.

You will design within the isolved design system, advocate accessibility, and leverage AI tools to plan research, synthesize findings, and iterate across multiple devices and contexts.

Qualifications

• Two to five years designing software products, ideally complex, data-heavy business applications.
• A portfolio that shows how you think, not just what you shipped: the problem, the constraints, what you tried, and why the final answer won.
• A clear research-to-design methodology. You can explain why you picked qualitative over quantitative (or the reverse) on a real project, and how research showed up across the whole process, not only in discovery
• Experience working within an established design system and contributing back to it, and the judgment to know when to extend it versus follow it
• A habit of looking for the root problem. The request you receive is often a symptom
• Comfort with the full UX toolkit: research, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, and prototyping
• Fluency with AI as a working tool. You already use it across your design process: planning and synthesizing research, exploring directions, prototyping, writing, and pressure-testing your own thinking. You can explain where it made your work better and where you overrode it
• Direct, concise communication with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders

Responsibilities

• End-to-end experience design: discovery, flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, prototypes, and handoff
• Choose the right research method for the question at hand, run it, and turn raw findings into insights the team can act on. Synthesis and storytelling matter as much as the research itself
• Bring product and engineering into the research as it happens so decisions are shared, not pitched after the fact
• Design with the isolved design system and build on it, contributing new components and patterns when your work exposes a gap
• Facilitate workshops and working sessions with stakeholders, with clear goals and tangible outcomes
• Present work to the design team and stakeholders, give and take critique well, and iterate quickly
• Use AI tools as part of your everyday workflow: research planning, synthesis, competitive analysis, exploration, and documentation
• Design for accessibility and for the range of devices and contexts our users work in

UX Designer

Summary/objective

isolved builds Human Capital Management software that millions of people use to get paid, manage time off, enroll in benefits, and run HR for their companies. The work touches essential parts of people's lives, so the experience needs to be clear, efficient, and trustworthy. You'll drive evidence-based product decisions for the isolved platform, working alongside engineers and product managers as the designer for the experiences you're assigned. You plan the research, shape the direction, and carry the work from problem framing through to what ships, using design thinking methods to ground decisions in how people actually behave rather than how we assume they do.The isolved platform is broad and interconnected. The designers who do well here can design a feature and also see how it ripples through the rest of the product: what it touches, what it changes, and what has to stay consistent.

Core Job Duties

• End-to-end experience design: discovery, flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, prototypes, and handoff
• Choose the right research method for the question at hand, run it, and turn raw findings into insights the team can act on. Synthesis and storytelling matter as much as the research itself
• Bring product and engineering into the research as it happens so decisions are shared, not pitched after the fact
• Design with the isolved design system and build on it, contributing new components and patterns when your work exposes a gap
• Facilitate workshops and working sessions with stakeholders, with clear goals and tangible outcomes
• Present work to the design team and stakeholders, give and take critique well, and iterate quickly
• Use AI tools as part of your everyday workflow: research planning, synthesis, competitive analysis, exploration, and documentation
• Design for accessibility and for the range of devices and contexts our users work in

Job Complexity

Having wide-ranging experience, uses professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex data platform issues creatively and effectively. Serves as the hands-on, go-to expert for isolved's data platform infrastructure, administration, and pipeline operations.

Interaction

Works on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors. Exercises judgment in selecting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. Networks with key contacts outside their own area of expertise.

Supervision

Determines methods and procedures on new assignments and may coordinate activities of other personnel.

Experience

Typically requires a minimum of 6 years of related experience with a bachelor's degree; 6 years and a master's degree; or equivalent experience.

Minimum Qualifications
