Job description

The UI/UX Engineer will design, refine, and deliver exceptional user experiences across our web applications built in Angular and our mobile applications migrating from Ionic/Angular to React Native. This role requires strong design expertise coupled with hands-on collaboration with front-end and mobile engineering teams. The ideal candidate will help shape our next-generation interfaces and guide our design execution through this major technology transition.

• Lead the UX process from research through wireframes, prototypes, and usability validation.
• Develop information architecture, user flows, and end-to-end interaction models.
• Transform complex requirements into intuitive, purposeful UI concepts.

User Interface & Visual Design

• Produce mockups, design systems, reusable UI components, and visual brand assets.
• Deliver design assets that engineers can easily translate into functioning UI.

Web Application Design (Angular)

• Create responsive UI layouts optimized for Angular-based applications.
• Work closely with Angular developers to align designs with component structure and technical limitations.
• Support the creation and enhancement of design systems and shared UI libraries used across web applications.

Mobile Application Design

• Lead the redesign and UX modernization as the product transitions from Ionic/Angular to React Native.
• Create mobile-first user interfaces that reflect native behaviors on both iOS and Android.
• Ensure that mobile UI patterns, gestures, transitions, and accessibility standards are properly implemented.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Interface with business stakeholders to develop and lead UI/UX designs and associated requirements for documentation.

• Strong understanding of responsive design, usability best practices, and accessibility standards (WCAG).
• Knowledge of automated, test-driven techniques and tools that integrate into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience managing or mentoring a small team of UI developers (including backend collaboration).
• Familiarity with hybrid mobile app design patterns and native app UX differences.
• Understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, TypeScript) and Angular's component-based architecture.
• Experience with performance-conscious design for mobile applications.
• Knowledge of API-driven workflows, IoT device interactions, or Edge IoT UI considerations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in design, HCI, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3–5+ years of UI/UX design experience across mobile and web platforms.
• Expertise in Figma (preferred) or equivalent modern design tools.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating mobile and web design projects.
