Job description

Hand a blank artboard to most people and they freeze; hand it to you and a campaign falls out, which is why ByteForge Labs is hiring a senior UX Designer. Frame it as ByteForge Labs trusting your 5 years with $86,000 - $121,000, a creative mandate, and the room to grow into leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Frame the design rationale so senior approvers feel smart agreeing with you
• Fold accessibility into the first sketch, not the final QA pass
• Resurface old ByteForge Labs archives for motifs worth a second, sharper life
• Time the reveal in a launch film so the logo lands earned, not slapped on
• Wring a campaign system from an one-line creative tagline

What You'll Bring

• Ability to learn new creative systems quickly and apply them effectively
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• Enough Process Improvement to be dangerous, enough Time Management to be trusted
• User Research fundamentals plus the Visual Design polish clients notice
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• Fluency in Design Systems earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire

The reputation ByteForge Labs enjoys across IL wasn't bought; the ego-light Schaumburg team earned it one creative project at a time. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

This hybrid role pays $86,000 - $121,000 and includes flexible scheduling plus a structured plan to grow your Persona Development expertise.

The freshness epoch just refreshed, marking this UX Designer role live again.
