Job description

Job Overview

Unlike a traditional design role, the Visual Design Strategist position at Xilnex is both challenging and exciting — a place where creativity meets purpose.

You’ll be part of the Xilnex Experience Team, a multidisciplinary group passionate about delivering meaningful experiences through design that not only looks good but feels right.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to grow beyond being “just a designer” — someone eager to explore how design can drive emotion, perception, and impact at scale. You’ll experiment, create, and refine visuals that define how people experience our brand — from the smallest icon to the most ambitious campaign.

Every project here is a learning journey. You’ll get to stretch your creativity across graphics, motion, and storytelling, explore new tools and techniques, and work with other creative thinkers who challenge norms and raise the bar every day. If you love the idea of crafting design with intent — not just making things look beautiful, but making them matter — this is the playground for you.

Job Scope

• Define user flows, navigation logic, and experience frameworks across the Xilnex ecosystem
• Map out complex system interactions into simple, human-centered experiences.
• Translate product requirements into intuitive structures, backed by user logic and data.
• Conduct or synthesize UX research, user interviews, and journey mapping to guide product direction.
• Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes that clearly communicate intent and logic.
• Work with engineering to validate feasibility and maintain visual fidelity during development.
• Use data, usability feedback, and business insights to iterate continuously on designs.
• Regularly conduct internal UX audits to detect consistency gaps or cognitive load issues.
• Partner with product managers to frame problems, define goals, and align on success metrics.
• Work with the Experience Team to evolve the Xilnex Design System — ensuring cohesion between visual and interaction layers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Product Design, or a related discipline.
• 3–6 years of experience in UX or product design, preferably in tech, SaaS, or system-heavy platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Figma and familiarity with advanced features like variables, components, and design tokens.
• Proficiency in prototyping in Figma; solid understanding of information architecture, interaction principles, and visual hierarchy.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — able to translate user behavior, data, and business goals into design logic.
• Demonstrated ability to build or extend design systems, ensuring functional and aesthetic consistency across products.
• Excellent sense of UX writing, micro-interactions, and state logic — capable of making complex systems feel simple.
• Confidence in conducting or interpreting UX research — including heuristic evaluation, user testing, and journey mapping.
• Effective communicator — able to present design rationale clearly to non-design stakeholders.
• (Bonus) Experience working in multi-product ecosystems or platforms with heavy system dependencies (POS, CRM, ERP, etc.).
• (Bonus) Familiarity with front-end structure (HTML/CSS frameworks or component libraries) to communicate efficiently with developers.
• (Bonus) Interest in product strategy and how design decisions influence business outcomes.
