Job Summary
We’re looking for a Lead UI/UX Designer who combines creative vision with technical discipline. You’ll be hands-on with design while also shaping our design culture and processes. You’ll create forward-thinking solutions, establish a design system that scales, and make sure design is seamlessly integrated into our product development lifecycle.
If you’ve led design for web products (not just websites), know how to keep design and engineering aligned, and have a passion for creating products that feel modern, usable, and polished, this role is for you. Experience with real estate or map-based design is a big plus.
Key Responsibilities
- Raise the design bar: Deliver innovative solutions that go beyond stakeholder ideas.
- Own the source of truth: Keep designs up to date across what’s live, in development, and in scope.
- Build for scale: Create and maintain a design system in Figma with reusable components.
- Design end-to-end: Translate business and user needs into engaging, intuitive product experiences.
- Prototype fast: Use Figma to explore ideas quickly, get early feedback.
- Research & testing: Run user interviews and usability tests.
- Trends & micro-interactions: Stay sharp on design trends and use micro-interactions thoughtfully.
- Stress-test & advocate: Push your designs beyond the happy path, account for edge cases.
- DesignOps mindset: Bring process to design — align design work with the software development lifecycle.
- Mentor & lead: Guide junior and mid-level designers, share best practices.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of UI/UX design experience, including 2+ years in a senior or lead role.
- Strong track record designing and maintaining complex web products (SaaS or platform experience is ideal).
- Deep knowledge of responsive design and scaling across multiple resolutions.
- Expert in Figma.
- Skilled in usability testing methods and tools.
- Understanding of Agile ways of working.
- Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Bonus: Experience in real estate, GIS, or map-based design.
Portfolio requirement: Please include a link to your portfolio or share a Figma file.
What Success Looks Like
- A design system in Figma is built, documented, and in active use by the team.
- Designs consistently scale across resolutions.
- There’s a clear source of truth for design status.
- Stakeholders notice fewer rework cycles because ideas are explored and validated earlier.
- DesignOps practices are embedded, and design handover to engineering feels smooth and predictable.
- The product experience is seen as slick, modern, and ahead of competitors.
- User research is a regular input into design.
- Other designers are learning from you.
