About The Role

As a Senior UX/UI Engineer, you’ll lead the design and development of user‑friendly web pages and applications that solve real customer and business challenges. You’ll take ideas from concept to high‑fidelity prototypes, then build the frontend and work alongside Software Engineers to bring them to life. Once your designs are out in the world, you’ll collaborate with Analysts to gather user feedback, test, iterate, and keep improving experiences. You’ll also provide support and mentorship to less experienced engineers. This role is all about teamwork—you’ll work closely with stakeholders, researchers, copywriters, illustrators, photographers, and field experts every day to create the best possible digital experiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with designers to turn ideas into polished designs and high‑fidelity prototypes.
• Team up with developers to build accessible, responsive frontends using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—getting everything production‑ready.
• Create and test new experiences, making continuous improvements based on what works best for users.
• Partner with product owners and stakeholders to understand project goals and help shape product vision and roadmaps.
• Sketch out and present user‑friendly solutions through workflows and wireframes, gathering feedback and refining designs before they go live.
• Collaborate with analysts and stakeholders to assess how products are performing, digging into analytics and user data to find ways to make them even better.
• Provide consultative support and mentorship to less experienced engineers.
• Pitch in wherever needed (excluding licensed tasks) to help foster a supportive and collaborative team culture.

About You

• You thrive in a fast‑paced, results‑driven environment and love working as part of a team.
• You’re a great communicator—whether it’s writing or speaking, you know how to get your point across clearly and effectively.
• Providing exceptional customer service is second nature to you, and you always put people first.
• You know how to build strong, positive relationships and enjoy working with people.
• You’re self‑motivated and take initiative without needing constant direction.
• You’re comfortable working across teams and departments to get things done.
• You’re ready to step into a leadership role and help others grow.
