Job Description & Details
This is a hands-on senior UX gig where you aren't just pushing pixels, but actively steering product direction through research, storytelling, and solid agile collaboration. If you enjoy untangling messy information architecture and working elbow-to-elbow with engineers to ship real code, this 3-month contract (with a strong runway into next year) is worth your time.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You'll own the design process from raw ideation all the way through to final execution, making sure desktop and mobile experiences stay responsive and intuitive. Your days will be a mix of sketching conceptual diagrams, building Figma prototypes, running usability tests, and defending your design decisions to stakeholders who might not always speak UX fluently. You will also be the glue between product owners and engineering, ensuring design standards and patterns are respected without slowing down sprint momentum.
The Core Tech Stack
Figma is your bread and butter here—you need to live in it, breathe in it, and use it to build airtight wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes. Beyond the tooling, the real technical weight of this role relies on your grasp of systems thinking, information architecture, and agile execution using tools like Jira or Rally. You'll also need to lean heavily on research methods, turning heuristic reviews and user interviews into actionable design shifts.
Interview Expectations
Expect the hiring team to ask you to walk through a case study where you had to push back on a Product Owner or engineer using actual UX research and data. They want to see how you handle compromise without sacrificing user experience. You'll also likely field questions on how you scale complex workflows into clean, accessible design systems, so be ready to talk through your specific methodology for structuring massive amounts of enterprise data.
Application Advice
To make it past the automated ATS screening, your resume needs to explicitly mirror the core vocabulary found in this job description. Make sure terms like "Figma", "Agile", "information architecture", and "end-to-end UX design processes" are front and center. Don't just list what you designed—highlight the cross-functional impact you had on engineering and stakeholder alignment.
