• Design solutions for improved usability through user‑centered design and iterative usability testing.
• Translate data and produce design requirements, interface standards, guidelines and prototypes that inform design efforts.
• Collaborate with designers to ensure feasibility and alignment with technical constraints, refine interactions, animations, and micro‑interactions.
• Investigate complex problems, prioritising user, business and technical requirements to serve as the foundation for engineering meaningful design solutions.
• Build and maintain reusable components and design systems using modern frameworks.
• Ensure consistency in UI implementation across platforms and teams.
• Advocate for accessibility best practices (WCAG) and inclusive design.
• Contribute to UX documentation and design‑to‑code workflows.
• Stay current with front‑end technologies, design tooling and UX trends.

Requirements

• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and modern frameworks (React, Angular, etc.).
• Experience working with design tools such as Figma and Adobe XD.
• Strong understanding of responsive design, accessibility and performance optimisation.
• Ability to organise and document detailed design and functional requirements.
• Write readable, maintainable and test‑covered code, setting high standards.
• Contribute to architectural design of new features and improvement of existing features.
• Ensure that code adheres to strict standards for accessibility, security, object‑oriented practices and performance.
• Work as a bridge between User Interface Design and engineering.
• Deep understanding and interest in design principles and typography.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD workflows.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with designers and developers.
• Portfolio or GitHub showcasing UI components, design system contributions or UX‑focused projects.
