UX/UI Designer

Skills & Experience Requirements: Core UX Competencies (Research + Interaction Design + User Experience) ● 3+ years designing user experiences for web or SaaS products. ● Strong command of user-centered design principles, usability heuristics, and accessibility fundamentals. ● Ability to translate complex workflows into simple, intuitive user journeys, user flows, and interaction patterns. ● Experience conducting user interviews, usability tests, heuristic evaluations, and synthesizing insights into actionable design improvements. ● Skilled in creating wireframes, low/high-fidelity prototypes, information architecture, personas, and task flows. ● Ability to define UX requirements, acceptance criteria, and design rationale in clear documentation. UI & Visual Design (Figma / Design Systems / High-Fidelity UI) ● 3+ years of hands-on UI design experience, preferably in SaaS or B2B platforms. ● Expertise in Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or equivalent tools for UI design and prototyping. ● Ability to produce polished, pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces aligned with modern design standards. ● Strong grasp of typography, spacing, grid systems, color theory, icons, component styling, and UI animation/micro interactions. ● Experience designing and maintaining design systems, style guides, and reusable component libraries. ● Ability to translate UX concepts into refined, visually consistent UI solutions. Prototyping, Handoff & Collaboration (Cross-functional teamwork) ● Experience preparing developer-ready design assets, redlines, and component specs. ● Familiarity with design-to-development workflows (Zeplin, Figma Inspect, tokens, component mapping). ● Ability to validate implementation quality and partner with frontend teams to ensure pixel-perfect output. ● Comfortable presenting concepts, design decisions, and progress updates to product managers, developers, and business stakeholders. Research, Feedback Loops & Iteration (User-centered cycles) ● Comfortable running iterative design cycles informed by user feedback, product KPIs, and usability data. ● Experience synthesizing feedback from stakeholders and users into design improvements. ● Ability to benchmark competitor UX/UI patterns and leverage market trends to inform design strategies. Accessibility & UX Quality (WCAG + usability) ● Working knowledge of WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines: semantic structure, color contrast, keyboard navigation, focus states, reduced motion, and accessible patterns. ● Ability to create clear error states, loading states, empty states, and user-friendly microcopy that enhance the experience. Front-End Familiarity (bonus, not required) ● Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for communicating component behavior and prototyping. ● Awareness of responsive layout behavior, breakpoints, and component constraints in real-world development environments. Tools, Testing & Workflow (recommended) ● Experience with usability testing tools (Maze, UserTesting, Hotjar, LogRocket, FullStory, or similar). ● Familiarity with analytics tools (GA4, Amplitude, Mixpanel) to inform UX decisions. ● Experience versioning design files and working in Agile/Scrum rituals (standups, sprint reviews, backlog grooming). ● Ability to maintain organized Figma files, component libraries, frames, and prototypes for long-term usability. Communication & Collaboration ● Excellent written and spoken English for clear UX documentation, design specifications, and team communication. ● Ability to collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, QA, and cross-functional teams. ● Strong presentation skills: explaining design rationale, exploring alternatives, and negotiating scope trade-offs. ● Strong ownership of UX quality and consistency across the product. Time-Zone & Schedule Expectations ● On-site only in Iloilo City, Philippines (no remote work). ● Shift-based schedule across 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift. ● Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams across US time zones within the assigned shift. ● Reliable participation in async workflows and documentation-driven communication.
