Role Overview:

  • Conduct user research (interviews, usability tests, contextual inquiry) with internal stakeholders to inform design decisions.
  • Design complex and multi-step workflows.
  • Create and maintain a consistent design language across the portal and CRM, ensuring visual polish, information density appropriate for users, and accessibility compliance.

  • Present design decisions clearly to the pod and stakeholders, articulating rationale grounded in user needs and business outcomes.
Frontend Engineering (~40%):
  • Prototype designs in React/TypeScript to validate interactions, test with users, and accelerate development handoff.
  • Ship production frontend code in partnership with the pod's engineers — components, pages, animations, and interaction logic.
  • Own the fidelity of what gets merged: review pull requests for visual accuracy, interaction quality, and design intent.
  • Contribute to and extend the frontend component library, ensuring design tokens, spacing, typography, and motion are implemented consistently.
  • Collaborate daily with engineers on technical feasibility, component architecture, and frontend performance.
