Job description

Role Overview

Design complete user experiences that cover both administrative functionality and end-user workflows. Translate application behavior, user needs, and business requirements into clear interaction models, wireframes, and high-fidelity interface designs. Maintain consistency from discovery through final approved output to reduce implementation gaps and limit independent UX decision-making during development.

Responsibilities

Lead the design of complete, workflow-driven user experiences for complex enterprise applications, including administrative functionality and end-user workflows.
Document current and future-state user workflows and translate behavior and requirements into wireframes and high-fidelity designs.
Ensure design decisions carry consistently from discovery through final approved design to minimize implementation gaps.
Design intuitive experiences for big-data applications, live-data interactions, and complex decision-support workflows.
Create low-fidelity concepts, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI designs suitable for stakeholder review and developer implementation.
Apply UI/UX practices to improve usability, accessibility, interaction quality, and overall user satisfaction.
Use Adobe XD, Illustrator, and Photoshop to produce clear, production-ready interface designs and supporting assets.
Contribute reusable design patterns, interface standards, and visual consistency across related applications and workflows.
Partner with product owners, stakeholders, developers, and technical teams to clarify needs and translate complex concepts into cohesive experiences.
Facilitate design reviews, incorporate feedback, and drive alignment across business, product, and engineering stakeholders.
Advise teams on UX implications of workflow, data, and technical decisions to support user-centered outcomes.
Support implementation clarity with annotations, interaction notes, and design handoff documentation.
Collaborate with developers working in Java Web, NodeJS, AWS, and related environments to ensure designs are feasible, maintainable, and aligned with technical architecture.
Support front-end implementation quality by providing guidance on styling and SCSS/SASS, micro-interactions, and user feedback patterns where applicable.
Work in Agile/Scrum environments and coordinate design deliverables with sprint planning, backlog refinement, and iterative development cycles.
Use version-controlled or DevOps-enabled collaboration practices, including GitLab where required, to support coordinated delivery.
Review designs for usability, consistency, accessibility, and implementation readiness prior to stakeholder approval and handoff.
Provide informal guidance, mentoring, or review support to designers and visualization specialists.
Contribute to design standards, reusable assets, documentation practices, and workflow-design methods that improve quality and efficiency across teams.
Support a culture of design quality by helping teams understand user workflows and reduce ambiguity across end-user and administrative needs.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree may be substituted for 4 years of experience; a master’s degree may be substituted for 6 years of experience.
18 years of UI/UX design, UI/UX development, or highly related experience with similar scope and responsibilities.
Experience documenting user workflows and translating them into wireframes, prototypes, and final UI designs.
Experience designing complex, workflow-driven enterprise applications.
Proficiency with Adobe XD, Illustrator, and Photoshop in the required operating environment.
TS/SCI with active CI Polygraph.

Preferred

Experience implementing or partnering on SCSS/SASS styling, micro-animations, or interaction feedback patterns.
Familiarity with Java Web, NodeJS, AWS, GitLab, Agile/Scrum, and WebSockets or real-time data update patterns.
Experience with UX research, prototyping, communication, and user-centered design methods.
