UX Engineer / Product Designer–Developer — Mid-Level
About the Role
We’re looking for a Mid-Level UX Engineer / Product Designer–Developer who can bridge the gap between user experience, design, and technology.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for understanding user and business needs, designing intuitive digital experiences, and translating those designs into functional, high-quality interfaces. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, and other stakeholders to take ideas from discovery and wireframes through prototyping, development, testing, and launch.
The ideal candidate combines strong UX thinking with hands-on coding ability and understands how great design translates into scalable, maintainable products.
Key Responsibilities
UX & Product Design
Understand user needs through research, interviews, usability testing, analytics, and stakeholder discussions.
Translate user and business requirements into user journeys, information architecture, flows, wireframes, and prototypes.
Design intuitive, accessible, and responsive web and/or mobile experiences.
Create high-fidelity designs and interactive prototypes using tools such as Figma.
Identify usability issues and continuously improve product experiences based on research, feedback, and data.
Contribute to and maintain design systems, reusable components, and UX patterns.
Present design concepts and explain design decisions clearly to stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
Front-End Development
Translate UX/UI designs into clean, responsive, production-ready interfaces.
Build and maintain reusable front-end components.
Collaborate with engineers to ensure consistency between design intent and technical implementation.
Develop interactive prototypes and proof-of-concepts to validate UX ideas quickly.
Understand technical constraints and use them to inform practical design decisions.
Review implemented experiences and identify gaps between design and final product.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-structured code.
Collaboration & Product Delivery
Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, QA, and business stakeholders.
Participate in product discovery, planning, design reviews, sprint ceremonies, and retrospectives.
Balance user needs, business objectives, technical feasibility, performance, and delivery timelines.
Contribute to product decisions beyond visual design by bringing a strong user and technical perspective.
Help establish best practices for UX, front-end implementation, accessibility, and design consistency.

Ability to convert Figma designs and UX concepts into functional interfaces.
Strong understanding of component-based design and reusable UI patterns.
Experience working in agile, cross-functional product teams.
Strong communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.
Portfolio demonstrating both UX/design thinking and technical implementation.
