• Work with design tools such as Figma to implement beautiful, streamlined UI/UX experiences that translate complex data platform capabilities into intuitive product interfaces.
• Interface across teams — including Product Management, Engineering, and Design — as the primary UI/UX technical authority, aligning on requirements, architecture, and product direction.
• Interact with REST APIs and SQL databases to build robust, performant front-end integrations that leverage Ocient’s backend data platform capabilities.
• Lead code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical design sessions, driving high-quality engineering decisions across the UI/UX codebase.
• Mentor UI/UX Engineer I and II contributors, supporting their technical growth and elevating front-end engineering quality across the team.

Ideal Qualifications:

Experience:

• 4+ years of industry experience writing code to build scalable, maintainable user interfaces in a professional software engineering environment.
• 1+ year of industry experience working with design tools such as Figma to implement streamlined UI/UX experiences.

Functional/Technical Skills:

• Demonstrable experience utilizing AI tools and agents to efficiently produce quality designs and software using structured prompts and context files.
• Strong technical leadership and communication skills with the ability to lead the UI team, interface across teams, set the bar for high-quality code, and create and enforce coding guidelines and architecture.
• Experience using Git for version control and leading collaborative software development workflows.
• Experience interacting with REST APIs and SQL databases from a front-end engineering perspective.
• A portfolio of previous work including code samples demonstrating front-end engineering quality and design sensibility.

An Exceptional Candidate Will Have:

• Experience working with high-performance, distributed systems and databases.
• Experience with full-stack development, particularly in Java or C++.
• Experience with orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience using and building code components for an enterprise-scale design system.
• Experience using Playwright or other UI testing framework.
