• Daily user of UI/UX design tools like Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD
• Ability to translate business and user needs into clear design goals and actionable product requirements.
• Skilled in user requirements generation, including gathering, analyzing, and documenting functional and UX needs.
• Hands‑on experience with interactive prototyping for validating concepts and communicating design intent.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional stakeholders — engineers, product managers, and fellow designers — to maintain alignment throughout the design and delivery cycle.

Requirements

• BS/MS degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
