User Experience Designer - (9114)

Employment Type: Freelance

Work Arrangement: Remote

Assignment Dates: September 14, 2026 - September 12, 2027

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced User Experience Designer to help shape and scale a design system supporting digital products across web and mobile platforms. In this role, you will create reusable design foundations, improve component consistency, and enable product teams to deliver accessible, high-quality experiences more efficiently.

You will work closely with product designers, engineers, product leaders, and accessibility partners to translate shared design patterns into practical, well-documented solutions. This opportunity is ideal for a systems-minded designer who has actively contributed to building, evolving, or governing a design system.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and refine reusable UI components, interaction patterns, and shared assets in Figma.
• Develop scalable design solutions that improve consistency across product teams and digital channels.
• Maintain component libraries, variants, auto-layout structures, and shared design resources.
• Create clear documentation, usage guidance, standards, and best practices for design-system adoption.
• Partner with engineering teams to align design components with production implementations.
• Identify and resolve gaps between design artifacts, coded components, and user experience standards.
• Apply responsive, accessible, and inclusive design principles to reusable patterns and components.
• Participate in design critiques, contribution reviews, governance activities, and release planning.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to prioritize system improvements and adoption opportunities.
• Evaluate emerging tools and workflows that improve design efficiency and design-to-development collaboration.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of UX, product design, or digital experience design experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience building, maintaining, or materially evolving a design system.
• Advanced Figma proficiency, including components, variants, auto-layout, and shared libraries.
• Experience designing reusable component libraries, shared patterns, and scalable interface foundations.
• Strong understanding of component architecture, design-system principles, and modern product design practices.
• Experience creating documentation, standards, and usage guidance that support design-system adoption.
• Proven ability to collaborate directly with engineers on component implementation and consistency.
• Working knowledge of accessibility, inclusive design, and responsive design across web and mobile experiences.
• Experience working in cross-functional environments with design, engineering, product, and accessibility partners.
• A portfolio demonstrating systems thinking and substantive contributions to reusable design foundations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting design systems across web, iOS, and Android platforms.
• Knowledge of design tokens, contribution models, governance processes, or release management.
• Familiarity with modern design-to-code workflows and collaborative product development practices.
• Experience with AI-assisted design or development workflows, automation, prompt-based tools, or related emerging technologies.

What We're Looking For

• Systems-oriented: You approach design challenges with an eye toward repeatability, maintainability, and long-term product quality.
• Collaborative: You build strong working relationships and create alignment across design, engineering, product, and accessibility disciplines.
• Quality-focused: You recognize that successful systems require documentation, implementation alignment, governance, and adoption-not only polished components.
• Adaptable: You stay current on evolving tools, workflows, and practices, applying them thoughtfully to improve outcomes.

Candidate Screening Priorities

• Direct experience building, maintaining, governing, or significantly evolving a design system.
• Advanced expertise with Figma components, shared libraries, variants, and auto-layout.
• Strong design-to-development collaboration and experience aligning design assets with coded components.
• Experience producing design-system documentation, standards, contribution guidance, or governance materials.
• Practical application of accessibility and responsive design principles.
• Cross-platform experience spanning web and mobile products.
• Exposure to AI-assisted or emerging design workflows as an added differentiator. Important Note

Candidates should demonstrate active ownership or meaningful contribution to a design system. Experience solely using an established design system to create product screens is not equivalent to experience building, maintaining, documenting, governing, or improving shared components and patterns.
