IMPACT

As a small agile company, we seek high performers who relish in the idea that their effort will directly impact our customers and help shape the next evolution of background investigations.

We are seeking a Senior UI/UX Product Designer to lead the end‑to‑end user experience design of the PowerBAK platform. In this role, you will own the visual and interaction design across multiple user types, ensuring the product feels secure, professional, and intuitive for both law enforcement agencies and civilian candidates.

PowerBAK serves two distinct audiences: investigators and public sector hiring teams, as well as candidates completing sensitive background processes. The platform must communicate trust, compliance, and operational efficiency from the first interaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Design the complete PowerBAK experience across three core interfaces: Candidate Portal (mobile‑first), Investigator Portal (desktop‑first), and Agency Admin Dashboard.
• Deliver pixel‑perfect, development‑ready Figma files including components, variants, interaction states, and responsive breakpoints.
• Create and maintain a scalable design system including typography, color palette, iconography, and reusable components that reinforce security and professionalism.
• Design complex workflows such as multi‑step application forms, conditional logic flows, document uploads, investigation tracking, and notification systems.
• Develop interactive prototypes for internal stakeholder review and user validation before engineering implementation.
• Collaborate closely with engineering to ensure accurate implementation and iterate based on technical constraints.
• Conduct user research and usability validation with investigators, HR staff, and candidates to refine workflows.
• Design data visualization components including hiring pipeline metrics, time‑to‑hire analytics, and workload dashboards.

Qualifications

• 4 or more years of product design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating enterprise, B2B, or regulated industry applications.
• Expert‑level proficiency in Figma, including auto‑layout, variants, design tokens, and organized dev‑ready files.
• Experience designing for compliance‑sensitive or regulated environments such as government, healthcare, finance, or legal platforms.
• Strong understanding of accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Experience designing multi‑role systems serving different user types within the same application.
• Ability to work independently, manage design sprints, and deliver on deadline.
• Portfolio must include dashboard interfaces, form‑heavy workflows, and mobile‑responsive applications.

Soft Skills

• Ownership: Operates as a department of one and drives design clarity across teams.
• Precision: Delivers structured, organized files that accelerate engineering.
• Systems Thinking: Designs workflows that balance usability with compliance constraints.
• Collaboration: Works seamlessly with engineering and product leadership.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for law enforcement, public safety, or government agency platforms.
• Familiarity with secure login flows, MFA patterns, and compliance‑driven UX constraints.
• Experience with micro‑interactions or motion design for onboarding and form flows.
• Experience with startup or small‑team experience where the designer operates autonomously.
