Figma Designer information

What is a Figma designer?

A Figma Designer is a professional who specializes in using Figma, a collaborative web-based design tool, to create user interfaces, prototypes, and design systems for digital products such as websites and mobile apps. They work closely with product managers, developers, and other designers to visualize concepts, design user experiences, and ensure design consistency. Figma Designers leverage the platform's collaborative features to streamline feedback and iterate designs efficiently. Their expertise includes UI/UX principles, prototyping, and often some knowledge of front-end development.

What is the difference between Figma Designer vs UI Designer?

AspectFigma DesignerUI Designer
Primary FocusCreating interactive prototypes and designing interfaces using FigmaDesigning visual elements and layouts for digital products
Tools & SkillsFigma, prototyping, collaboration featuresAdobe XD, Sketch, visual design, branding
Work EnvironmentCollaborative, often remote, using cloud-based toolsDesign studios, agencies, or in-house teams
Common Industry UsageWeb and app interface design, prototypingVisual design, branding, user interface creation

While both roles involve digital design, a Figma Designer specializes in creating interactive prototypes and interfaces primarily using Figma, emphasizing collaboration and prototyping. A UI Designer focuses on visual aesthetics, branding, and layout design, often using tools like Adobe XD or Sketch. Both roles are essential in product development but differ in their core responsibilities and tools used.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Figma designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Figma Designer, you need strong expertise in UI/UX design principles, visual design, and a portfolio demonstrating hands-on experience with digital products. Proficiency in Figma itself, as well as familiarity with design systems, prototyping tools, and sometimes basic front-end technologies, is essential. Excellent collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills help you work effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders. These abilities ensure that designs are not only visually appealing but also user-centered, functional, and efficiently integrated into modern product development workflows.

How does a Figma designer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a product development cycle?

As a Figma Designer, you will regularly collaborate with product managers, developers, and other designers to ensure cohesive and efficient design implementation. This often involves participating in design sprints, sharing prototypes for feedback, and conducting handoff meetings where detailed design specs are communicated to developers. Figma’s real-time collaboration features make it easy to gather input and iterate quickly, but it also means strong communication and flexibility are key to success. Expect to attend regular stand-ups, design reviews, and brainstorming sessions to align your work with the broader team’s objectives.

Are Figma designers in demand?

Figma designers are in high demand as many companies prioritize user experience and digital product design. Proficiency in Figma, along with skills in UI/UX design and collaboration tools, increases job opportunities in this field.

Job description

About Rewards Network

For 41 years, Rewards Network has been helping restaurants grow revenue, increase traffic, and boost customer engagement through innovative financial, marketing services, and premier dining rewards programs. By offering unique card-linked offers, we introduce diners to fantastic restaurant experiences, leveraging advanced technology and data analytics to deliver value to restaurants, diners, and our strategic partners' loyalty programs.

Our Culture

At Rewards Network, you'll be part of a driven and diverse team that excels in collaboration, issue resolution, and taking ownership of both personal growth and the company's success. We take pride in partnering with the world's most powerful loyalty programs to drive full-price paying customers to local restaurants through marketing services and flexible funding options. Our engaging and rewarding environment is designed to help you gain your full potential.

Job Overview

The UX Designer owns end-to-end design across the experiences connecting our 25M+ dining members with 20,000+ partner restaurants, plus the merchant tools restaurants use to connect. Translates member behavior, merchant needs, and partner brand standards into intuitive, accessible experiences across consumer and merchant websites and apps.

This is a hands-on IC role for a Figma-fluent designer who uses AI to move faster without losing craft, and has strong opinions on consumer loyalty and B2B SaaS product experience. This designer is our first dedicated UX hire (so an ownership mindset is a must) and will stand up the design system, processes, and standards we rely on going forward – working lean by building on established design-system foundations rather than bespoke work wherever possible.

This is a hybrid position that requires in office presence 3 days a week (Tuesday-Thursday) in Chicago.

What you'll bring to the table: (Responsibilities)
  • Own UX end-to-end for complex consumer and merchant products — discovery through dev handoff and post-launch iteration.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering on both a near-term roadmap and a long-term strategic vision, balancing user needs with business, technical, and compliance constraints.
  • Plan and run user research — discovery, usability tests, concept tests — and iterate from telemetry and qualitative feedback.
  • Translate business goals and user insights into flows, IA, and interaction patterns.
  • Own and evolve the design system across consumer and merchant surfaces; building a design-system framework and reserving customer design for genuinely new or distinctive features; raise the quality bar across design, research, and content while streamlining process.
  • Present design work, methodology, and value to executive leadership and cross-functional partners; secure buy-in for solution direction.
  • Collaborate with Engineering through build and design QA; align in-product experience with Marketing/Lifecycle and partner brand standards.
  • Mentor peers, set elevated standards for design quality, and drive knowledge sharing across the org.
  • Design to WCAG 2.1 AA by default; fluent in Figma.
Do you have the right mix of ingredients:
  • Bachelor's in Design, HCI, Visual Design, or related field — or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of UX / product design shipping consumer or B2B SaaS products across native (iOS/Android) and web platforms.
  • Designed within external partner brand standards (airline, hotel, retail, financial loyalty/membership, or similar) where guidelines aren't yours to set.
  • Significantly contributed to or owned a design system at scale using Figma.
  • Product instincts and user empathy.
  • AI-assisted design fluency; clear on where AI helps and where it doesn't.
  • User-centered design: research, usability testing, heuristic evaluation, journey mapping, prototyping.
  • Visual craft: typography, color, layout, hierarchy, motion.
  • WCAG 2.1 AA in practice.
  • Agile delivery tools: JIRA, Confluence, FigJam/Miro, Maze/UserTesting.
  • Can present and defend design decisions to leadership and partners.

Education, Certifications and Experience: Preferred

  • Experience designing Loyalty, rewards, AI, gamification, or habit-forming products.
  • Industry experience with B2B SaaS, restaurant, dining, hospitality, or partnerships-driven businesses.
  • Experimentation programs (A/B testing) and behavioral data informing design.
  • Front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS, basic JS; familiarity with React / Reactive Native a plus) sufficient to collaborate with engineers.
  • AI tools (Figma AI, generative image, LLM-based design/content) used in a real product workflow.
What you'll love about us:

Comprehensive benefits package, which includes:

  • This is a full-time, exempt position. The base salary range for this role in Chicago is $150,000–$175,000 annually, depending on candidate's experience, as well as skills, and other factors.

  • Competitive Time Off Benefits: including flexible PTO, 11 company holidays, and parental leave.
  • Generous dining reimbursement when you dine with our restaurant clients
  • 401(k) plan with a company match
  • Two medical plan options- Standard PPO or High Deductible Health Plan (HSA with company match for HDHP participants)
  • Partnership with Rx n Go, offering certain prescriptions for free
  • Two dental plan options and a vision plan
  • Flexible Spending Accounts and a pre-tax commuter benefit program
  • Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity Insurance Plans
