[Hiring] UI/UX Designer @NETGEAR

Role Description

NETGEAR (Consumer division) is building an in-house creative team to own digital design work end to end. The team is small on purpose: a Creative Lead, a UI Designer, a Graphic Designer, and a copywriter. This is the digital design seat, focused on the direct-to-consumer side of netgear.com. It is a transactional storefront, so the work carries real conversion pressure.

• Design and ship UI across the consumer side of netgear.com, from wireframe through to developer-ready handoff.
• Work in our atomic web design system: build with existing components, extend it where the system does not yet cover what a page needs, and keep new work consistent with what is already there.
• Maintain our web Figma libraries, keeping components, variants, and tokens clean, documented, and usable by everyone touching the files.
• Work with the front-end team who build and own the website itself: hand off designs in a state they can implement, check feasibility before committing to an approach, and review designs in staging before they go live.
• Use website analytics and consumer insights research as inputs to design decisions.
• Design new web components and suggest design improvements to our pages.
• Collaborate with the Graphic Designer so that campaign work and site experience feel like the same brand.
• Work closely with our Sr. Integrated Marketing Manager, who is responsible for global campaigns, so that site work lines up with what campaigns are driving.
• Use AI tools as part of your workflow where they genuinely speed things up.
• Give occasional design direction to other teams who maintain their own pages and want them to stay consistent with netgear.com.
• Work with the app team, who own the app UI system, to keep styles, icons, colours, and typography consistent across web and app.

Qualifications

• 4+ years designing digital products or marketing interfaces. Direct-to-consumer ecommerce or consumer tech experience is a plus, but not a requirement.
• Deep Figma skills, specifically with libraries: components, variants, auto layout, and tokens.
• Genuine interest in AI and a habit of testing new tools as they appear.
• A portfolio of shipped web work, with enough detail that we can see your reasoning and not just the final screens.
• Current on UI patterns and conventions, with judgment about which trends are worth adopting and which are noise.
• Able to ground design decisions in research and analytics, and to explain the reasoning behind them.
• Comfortable presenting your own work.
• A working understanding of front-end implementation and a skill to design system components that a back-end team can develop.
• A positive, curious attitude and a real appetite for learning.
• Clear communication with engineers, product, and stakeholders who are not designers.

Requirements

• Prototyping and interaction design skills.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and how they constrain component design.

Benefits

• Fully remote, PST hours.
• Direct access to the Creative Lead and partner teams.
• Tooling is provided, including Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and a Magnific seat.
• Support for training on new tools, particularly AI.
