Job description

We are seeking a Senior UX/UI Designer for a full-time contract engagement supporting technically complex integration experiences for employers and ATS partners.

 

This is a hands-on individual contributor role for a senior product designer who can independently own design work from early exploration through prototyping, validation, and iteration. The role is not focused on people leadership or high-level design strategy.

 

The ideal candidate is comfortable designing for technical and partner-facing audiences, working within an established design system, and using AI-assisted tools to accelerate prototyping and design exploration.

 

Enterprise experience strongly preferred.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

- Design clear, intuitive product experiences for employer and ATS partner integrations.

- Translate complex technical systems and partner workflows into usable product experiences.

- Create user flows, wireframes, interaction designs, visual designs, and interactive prototypes.

- Work hands-on in Figma throughout the design process.

- Use AI-assisted design and prototyping tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools.

- Design within an established design system and follow existing component and interaction standards.

- Plan or support usability testing and apply findings to design iterations.

- Support A/B testing by creating design variants and incorporating experiment results.

- Take ownership of assigned design work with limited oversight.

- Communicate design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Must-Have Skills

 

- 5+ years of professional Product UX Design experience.

- Senior-level individual contributor experience.

- Recent hands-on product design experience.

- Strong proficiency with Figma.

- Experience using AI-assisted design or prototyping tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools.

- Experience designing within an established design system.

- Experience with usability testing.

- Experience with A/B testing.

- Ability to design complex, technical, or partner-facing product workflows.

- Portfolio demonstrating relevant product UX design work.

- Ability to work independently and take ownership from the beginning of the engagement.

 

Nice-to-Have Skills

 

- Experience with applicant tracking systems, recruiting technology, or HR technology.

- Experience designing developer-facing or API-facing products.

- Experience designing for two-sided marketplace platforms.

- Experience with job seeker and employer marketplace products.

- Experience applying WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards.

- Experience with inclusive design principles.

- Candidates must be based in the United States.

- Strong working-hour overlap with U.S. Pacific and Central time zones is required.
