Job Summary:

We are seeking an exceptional, experienced, and self-driven UX/UI Designer to craft intuitive, interactive, and user-centered experiences for internal business tools and applications. You'll be joining a nimble, high-impact, internal team that operates like a startup within the enterprise—developing solutions that streamline workflows, surface insights, and empower teams across the company.

2. Designing for data-heavy environments – You can design clean, actionable interfaces for dashboards, metric pages, and applications with complex data visualizations and user flows. 
3. Delivering quickly and thoughtfully – You balance speed and quality, iterating quickly while documenting designs clearly and preparing development-ready assets. 
4. Collaborating deeply with cross-functional teams – You will work closely with product managers, engineers, and end users to ensure designs meet business needs and user expectations. 

Key Skills & Tools Must-Haves:

• Figma expert – You're fast, fluent, and opinionated with components, auto-layout, prototyping, and developer handoff.
• Bootstrap familiarity – You understand the Bootstrap grid and components well enough to design with its constraints in mind.
• Portfolio of UX/UI work – Demonstrates experience designing business applications, dashboards, or complex tools. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
• Experience designing for interactivity and data – You’ve designed charts, graphs, tables, and interactive UI components.

Key Skills & Tools Nice-To-Haves:

• Basic understanding of frontend technologies like HTML/CSS/JavaScript or frameworks like Vue.js to improve collaboration with developers.
• Familiarity with REST APIs and designing user flows around dynamic data.
• Experience working in Agile or MVP environments.
• Experience in usability testing and rapid prototyping. Soft Skills That Will Set You Apart
• Strong communication & collaboration – You’ll interact with stakeholders of all backgrounds and must translate business needs into usable, beautiful designs.
• Empathy for users – You understand how to design for non-technical internal users and build tools that make their lives easier.
• Adaptability – You’re ready to pivot when needs shift, and you thrive in ambiguity.

Other Good-To-Haves:

• Experience working with developers via tools like GitLab, Jira, or Slack.
• Understanding of lean design practices and shipping iteratively with feedback.
• Previous experience in designing enterprise applications, internal tools, or complex business systems.
