Job Summary:

AI-Augmented Design Focus

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced UX Designer on a contract basis to design and continuously improve our enterprise gaming/casino management platform. Beyond core UX craft, this role requires hands‑on fluency with AI‑assisted design workflows — using AI tools to accelerate ideation, prototyping, content, and design‑system work while maintaining a single, consistent brand experience across operational and back‑office screens for multiple properties and tenants.

• Design end-to-end user experiences — user flows, wireframes, interaction models, and high‑fidelity, production‑ready UI — for operational (floor/terminal) and back‑office contexts.
• Work within and contribute to a single brand design language, reusing shared components and design tokens; vary layout/component selection to fit context rather than creating divergent designs.
• Leverage AI‑assisted design tools to accelerate the workflow — rapid concept generation, variant exploration, prototype scaffolding, UX copy drafting, and design‑system documentation — while critically reviewing and refining all AI output to meet quality and brand standards.
• Use AI to generate and iterate on prototypes (including AI‑driven UI/prototype generation such as Claude / Claude‑based design and prototyping workflows) to validate concepts quickly with stakeholders.
• Partner with Business Analysts and Product to translate BRDs, Epics, and Features into clear, usable designs; participate in refinement and design‑review cycles.
• Collaborate with engineering to ensure faithful implementation via design‑system components (not bespoke restyling); provide specs, redlines, and design QA.
• Maintain and extend the design system (component states, patterns, tokens, accessibility guidance) and help limit design drift across designers — including exploring AI to keep documentation and patterns in sync.
• Help define and improve AI-in-the-design-process practices — prompt patterns, tool selection, and guardrails for using AI responsibly in a regulated, high‑compliance environment.
• Ensure designs meet accessibility, responsiveness, and usability standards, including varied device/terminal form factors and light/dark modes.
• Document design decisions, rationale, and interaction patterns so work is maintainable and hand‑off‑ready.

Required Experience & Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional UX/UI design experience delivering complex, data‑dense enterprise or operational software (SaaS, workflow, or transactional systems).
• Demonstrated, hands‑on experience using AI tools in the design process — e.g., AI‑assisted prototyping and UI generation (such as Claude / Claude‑based design workflows), image/asset generation, and AI for UX writing, research synthesis, or design documentation.
• Ability to write effective prompts and critically evaluate, edit, and integrate AI‑generated output rather than accepting it at face value.
• Hands‑on expertise with modern design tooling (e.g., Figma), including component libraries, variants, auto‑layout, and design tokens.
• Experience designing with and contributing to a design system / component library; understanding of how designs map to front‑end component implementation (e.g., React/MUI‑based systems).
• Solid grasp of interaction design, information architecture, and usability principles for high‑throughput operational workflows.
• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and responsive/multi‑device design.
• Ability to collaborate with product, business analysts, and engineering in an agile environment, including regular refinement and design reviews.
• Strong communication skills; able to present and justify design decisions and work within brand/design governance.
• Self‑directed and able to deliver independently as a contractor with minimal ramp‑up.

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating AI tools into a team design system or standardizing AI‑assisted workflows across designers.
• Experience in gaming, casino operations, financial, or other regulated/high‑compliance domains.
• Familiarity with multi‑tenant product design and localization/internationalization.
• Experience with design‑token pipelines and cross‑product brand kits.

AI Tools & Exposure (expected)

• AI design/prototyping: Claude (incl. Claude‑based design/prototyping workflows), and comparable AI UI‑generation tools.

• General: comfort adopting new AI capabilities quickly and applying them responsibly within compliance constraints.
