Role Description
You will join a specialized Identity & Authentication design team focused on end-to-end user account management and security experiences across multi-sided consumer and enterprise platforms. In this role, you will:
-
Audit existing account entry points.
-
Consolidate security settings.
-
Design seamless sign-up/sign-in experiences using an established enterprise design system.
-
Partner closely with senior designers and engineering teams to transform complex authentication routing logic into intuitive, accessible, and frictionless user flows.
Key Responsibilities
-
End-to-End Product Design Delivery:
Own the complete product design cycle (problem framing, user flows, wireframes, rapid MVP explorations, interactive prototypes, and production-ready designs) for account management and security features across web and mobile web platforms.
-
Cross-Flow Systems & Audit Mapping:
Conduct current-state audits and map user flows across entry points, routing logic, sign-up/sign-in flows, and account settings to identify and fix UX inconsistencies.
-
Complex Multi-Path & Edge Case Design:
Design complex, branching user flows tailored to varied account conditions, ensuring comprehensive coverage of error, recovery, empty, loading, and edge states.
-
Engineering Specs & Handoff:
Produce detailed, production-ready engineering handoff documentation (design redlines, state specifications, interaction guidelines) and participate in technical scoping and refinement directly with engineers.
-
Design System Stewardship:
Utilize, apply, and responsibly extend enterprise-scale design systems (Figma) to maintain design consistency across all digital surfaces.
-
UX Quality Assurance & Testing:
Conduct lightweight usability validation, draft interface copy in alignment with content standards, and perform design QA throughout implementation and launch.
Qualifications
-
Portfolio Requirement:
Mandatory portfolio submission demonstrating shipped, engineering-implemented product software, complex multi-path flows, and strong visual/interaction craft.
-
Experience & Seniority:
3–5 years of dedicated UX/UI product design experience shipping production software in close partnership with Product Managers and Software Engineers.
-
Design Tooling & Systems:
Mastery of Figma, interactive prototyping skills, and extensive experience working within an established enterprise-scale design system.
-
Technical Literacy:
Ability to reason about complex technical flows directly with engineers—specifically authentication mechanics, session states, routing logic, and system dependencies.
-
UX Craft & Edge-Case Handling:
Proven strength in systems thinking, handling error/recovery states, accessible UI design, and producing comprehensive engineering handoff specs.
-
Collaboration Tooling:
Familiarity with standard team collaboration tools, such as Jira, Confluence, or Slack.
-
Identity & Security Domain:
Specialized experience designing authentication, identity verification, account security, sign-in/sign-up, or trust-related user flows.
-
Data-Informed Design & Research:
Experience using product metrics, experimentation (A/B testing), and lightweight usability testing to iterate on designs.
-
Accessibility & Global Standards:
Experience designing for international audiences or regulated industry compliance standards.
-
AI-Assisted Design Workflows:
Experience utilizing AI tools to accelerate design exploration, prototyping, user research synthesis, or spec documentation.
-
Contractor Adaptability:
Track record of ramping up quickly into complex product domains and operating autonomously on defined initiatives.
Time Zone & Collaboration
The role requires collaboration with teams aligned to Central Time (CT) and Eastern Time (EST). Flexibility to overlap with North America business hours is required in this remote-first setup.
Language
All interviews, documentation, and daily communication will be in English.
