Job description

The Reporting & Data Services team is a critical part of Antares, partnering across the organization to deliver technology, data and operational capabilities that support investment, investor and business processes.

The UX/UI Developer, AVP is a hands-on design and engineering role that sits at the intersection of creativity and technology. This individual is responsible for designing and developing intuitive, scalable and accessible user experiences across a portfolio of enterprise software applications - bringing both the creative vision to imagine what an experience could be and the technical capability to build it. The role combines user experience design, front-end engineering and design system leadership to deliver consistent, high-quality solutions that improve usability and productivity. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments, is energized by rapid prototyping sessions where ideas become tangible in hours rather than weeks, and can move fluidly from discovery and workflow analysis through wireframing, high-fidelity prototyping, usability validation and production-ready implementation. This individual will collaborate closely with business stakeholders, product owners, architects and software engineers enterprise-wide, and will help shape how Antares applies a consistent, user-centered approach to its applications - including emerging AI-enabled experiences.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with business stakeholders, product owners and engineering teams to understand user needs, workflows, business objectives and technical constraints.
• Conduct user research, workflow analysis and usability testing to identify opportunities to simplify complex business processes.
• Produce user journeys, information architecture, wireframes, flow diagrams, interactive prototypes and high-fidelity interface designs - including leading and participating in rapid prototyping sessions with business stakeholders to turn ambiguous ideas into testable concepts quickly.
• Translate approved designs into responsive, production-quality user interfaces using modern front-end frameworks and technologies.
• Develop, document and maintain a company-wide design system, including reusable components, interaction patterns, design tokens and accessibility guidance.
• Partner with software engineers to ensure design fidelity, technical feasibility, maintainability and consistent implementation across applications.
• Evaluate existing applications and recommend improvements based on user feedback, usability findings, accessibility requirements and product objectives.
• Ensure user interfaces align with corporate brand standards, responsive design practices and applicable accessibility standards.
• Contribute to front-end architecture, coding standards, peer reviews, quality assurance and continuous improvement practices.
• Define and track experience measures such as task completion, adoption and user satisfaction to inform design priorities and continuous improvement.
• Participate in Agile delivery activities, including planning, refinement, design reviews, demonstrations and retrospectives.
• Remain current with UI/UX research, front-end technologies, design tooling and emerging interaction patterns, including AI-enabled experiences.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will bring a demonstrated track record of designing and shipping user experiences that people rely on every day. This role requires more than visual design or front-end coding alone; candidates should be able to show where they have taken a product from research and concept through implementation, and how their work measurably improved usability, consistency or productivity.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of experience in UI/UX design, UX engineering, front-end engineering or a comparable hybrid role.
• A portfolio demonstrating user-centered design, interaction design, prototyping, design systems and implemented digital products.
• Proficiency with industry-standard prototyping and design tools - including Figma, Axure RP, Marvel and Balsamiq - and the judgment to select the right tool for the fidelity and speed the moment demands.
• Strong knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 or SCSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, responsive design and component-based application development.
• Experience developing modern web applications with React or a comparable front-end framework.
• Experience creating or contributing to reusable design systems and component libraries.
• Working knowledge of accessibility principles and the ability to incorporate accessibility into design and implementation decisions.
• Experience working in Agile software delivery environments and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
• Exceptional written, verbal and visual communication skills - including the ability to articulate design rationale, present creative decisions w
