Position Description:
JTEC Consulting is actively seeking a versatile Mid-Senior UI/UX Developer to bridge the gap between human-centered design and front-end engineering. In this role, you will be instrumental in shaping the visual identity and user experience of our digital products from discovery through deployment. The UI/UX Developer will lead user research initiatives, translate customer insights into high-fidelity wireframes and interactive prototypes, and bring those concepts to life using modern web technologies like React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Working closely with Product Managers and Engineering teams, you will champion design consistency, accessibility, and intuitive interactions across our entire product ecosystem. A current security clearance with agency-specific polygraph is strictly required for consideration.

• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to establish and evolve scalable design systems and reusable UI component libraries.


• Advocate for accessibility best practices to guarantee our interfaces are usable and inclusive for all audiences.

Collaboration and Delivery

• Partner with Product Managers to define technical and design requirements within an Agile/Scrum environment.


• Work alongside back-end engineers to integrate RESTful APIs and ensure seamless front-end state management.


• Participate in design critiques and code reviews, providing constructive feedback to maintain high-quality standards across both disciplines.

• Design and Discovery:Demonstrated experience conducting user research, developing user flows, and wireframing interface solutions.


• Component-Driven Development: Experience creating reusable, component-based architectures that balance aesthetic fidelity with code performance.
