nSkills & Requirements

n

nCore Experience

n

n

n
1. 8+ years of professional UI/UX design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process
n
2. Deep proficiency in Figma (or equivalent tools like Sketch/Adobe XD), including auto-layout, components, variants, and prototyping
n
3. Proven experience designing for software products (SaaS, web apps, or enterprise platforms)
n
4. Hands-on experience building, contributing to, or scaling a design system (component libraries, tokens, style guides)
n
5. Robust understanding of interaction design, information architecture, and visual design fundamentals (typography, color, spacing, accessibility/WCAG standards)
n

n

nTool Sets & Technical Familiarity

n

n

n
1. Design & prototyping: Figma (Dev Mode,



variables, plugins), FigJam, Framer, Principle, or ProtoPie for high-fidelity interactive prototypes
n
2. Design systems tooling: Storybook, Zeroheight, or similar for documenting and syncing design-to-code
n
3. Handoff & collaboration: Zeplin, Figma Dev Mode, Jira, Confluence, Linear
n
4. User research: Maze, UserTesting, Hotjar, FullStory, or similar for usability testing and behavioral analytics
n
5. Basic front-end literacy: working knowledge of HTML/CSS and enough JS/React vocabulary to have productive conversations with engineer about feasibility and constraints
n

n

nAI-Driven Design & Development Familiarity

n

n(increasingly essential at senior level)

n

n

n
1. Practical experience using AI tools within the design workflow — e.g., Figma AI, Adobe Firefly, Midjourney/DALL·E for concept exploration and asset generation
n
2. Familiarity with AI-assisted prototyping/code-gen tools (e.g., v0, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Galileo AI) to rapidly translate designs into functional prototypes or accelerate handoff
n
3. Understanding of how generative AI is reshaping design workflows — using it for ideation, variant generation, copywriting, and user research synthesis — while knowing where human judgment must stay central (accessibility, ethical UX, brand nuance)
n
4. Experience designing AI-powered product features themselves (e.g., conversational UI, recommendation surfaces, human-in-the-loop patterns) is a strong plus
n
5. Comfort prompting and evaluating AI outputs critically, rather than treating them as a black box
n

n

nAdditional Strengths That Matter at Senior Level

n

n

n
1. Strategic thinking — able to push back on requirements and advocate for the user, not just execute specs
n
2. Strong storytelling and presentation skills for communicating design decisions to leadership and non-design stakeholders
n
3. Experience working in agile/cross-functional teams with tight iteration cycles
n
4. Data literacy — comfortable using analytics/experiment results (A/B tests, funnel data) to inform design choices
