About the Role

We’re seeking a designer who thrives at the crossroads of complex business workflows and elegant user experiences. You’ll craft interfaces that power AI-driven automation, workflow orchestration, and data‑rich analytical tools for everyday business users.

This role blends client solution enablement (≈70%) and platform design (≈30%) : you’ll create foundational UI patterns and design systems, then adapt them to specific client implementations—balancing reusability with flexibility.

What You’ll Design

• Document-processing dashboards across finance, logistics, field service, and other domains
• Human‑in‑the‑loop AI interfaces for reviewing, correcting, and validating AI outputs (including conversational and hybrid conversational/form‑based UX)
• Data‑intensive UIs —grids, modals, multi‑step workflows, filters, and query interfaces
• Domain‑specific analytical and geo‑visualization tools
• Role‑aware experiences that adapt intelligently to user permissions
• Responsive designs that bring consumer‑grade simplicity to web‑based business apps

What You’ll Do

• Create scalable UI patterns and templates reusable across clients
• Translate complex processes into intuitive, step‑by‑step journeys
• Collaborate with Product and Platform teams to evolve a shared design system
• Partner with Delivery Leads and Engineers to customize and implement designs
• Balance information density with usability through thoughtful hierarchy and progressive disclosure
• Design with implementation in mind, creating UX specs and UI handoffs based on modern frontend development techniques that are cost‑effective to build and maintain

What You Bring

• Experience designing business‑facing, authenticated Web products (not marketing sites)
• Expertise with data grids, tables, sorting/filtering, bulk actions, and visualization
• Workflow and multi‑step process design (steppers, review queues, status‑driven UIs)
• Strong Figma experience with components, variants, and structured handoffs
• Proficiency in responsive, data‑heavy interfaces and reusable component systems
• Understanding of human‑in‑the‑loop and AI‑assisted workflows

What Sets You Apart

• You understand that not everything should be custom —you design systems for implementation consistency, efficiency, and developer feasibility
• You know when conversational UI helps—and when a structured form just works better
• You sweat UI details without losing sight of the full UX journey
• You bring product thinking —understanding the why behind workflows and user needs

The pay range for this role is:

85,000 - 110,000 USD per year (Austin, TX, USA)
