About the Company

Our client is a technology-driven company building digital products with a strong focus on usability and user experience. They operate in a modern product-led environment, delivering both web and application-based solutions that delight users and drive business growth.

Role Overview

We are hiring a UI-strong Product Designer to design modern web and mobile digital products. This role focuses on building clean, effective product interfaces, scalable design systems, and intuitive user flows — not branding or marketing creative.

You will collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to ship user-centered digital experiences quickly. The role is execution-focused, requiring strong visual design taste paired with practical UX fundamentals. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced product environments, takes ownership of their work, and is comfortable operating as a primary designer on product initiatives.

Your Impact

  • Create scalable design systems that increase development efficiency and UI consistency.

  • Translate product requirements into wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI.
  • Design and refine user journeys and funnels.
  • Make business-aware design decisions balancing usability and functionality.
  • Conduct iterative improvements based on feedback and product insights.

Product Delivery & Collaboration – 20%

  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on product features.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers to ensure accurate implementation.
  • Communicate design decisions clearly and provide handoff documentation.
  • Operate independently as a primary product designer when needed.

  • Ability to translate product requirements into polished, functional UI.
  • Solid UX fundamentals including flows, usability, and visual hierarchy.
