• Create patterns that are intuitive and practical
• Design and deliver wireframes, user stories, user journeys, and mockups optimized for a wide range of devices and interfaces
• Create graphs and charts that provide actionable insights from complex metrics, including metrics derived from AI and ML algorithms, or compiled metrics (metrics made up of a combination of separate but related metrics)
• Ensure all design work is compliant with branding guidelines and best practices

• Outcome oriented mindset for highly aligned, loosely coupled startup environment
• Perform duties in a manner that is consistent with and committed to upholding the requirements of the quality management system

• Work up and down the stack for every detail of new product features, from idea to UX to pixel-perfect execution, for both websites and mobile applications

Additionally, due to the ever-changing and sometimes chaotic environment of an early-stage high-tech company, the UI/UX Designer may assume additional responsibilities, as required.

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
• You seek to understand the needs of customers and advocate for the strongest user experiences to solve their problems
• You balance business needs, implications, and practicality against aesthetics – a healthy balance of form and function
• Bachelor's degree in design, computer science, data science, or a related field
