About Courted
Courted is the leading AI-powered platform for real estate recruiting, retention, and market intelligence. We help brokerages and teams understand agent performance, recruit strategically, and retain top talent – all in one place.

The real estate industry moves over $100B in annual commissions and it's still powered by spreadsheets, cold calls, and guesswork. We're changing that with data, workflow, and machine learning – making every recruiting and retention decision smarter. We're a high-growth SaaS company shipping fast, working smart, and building transformative tools for the next generation of real estate leaders.

We care a lot about the work and very little about titles. We debate ideas, not people, fix things in daylight, and try to keep a sense of humor while doing it.

The Role
We’re looking for a Visual UI Designer with 5+ years of experience to own high-fidelity design work across our product.

This role is focused on visual design and interface clarity. You’ll be working from defined UX flows, low-fidelity wireframes, and product requirements – your job is to take that foundation and turn it into polished, intuitive, and production-ready UI.

We already have a strong UX foundation and design system in place. Where this role comes in is elevating the visual layer – bringing structure, hierarchy, and clarity to complex workflows, especially in areas where the design system doesn’t fully answer the problem.

This is an independent, async-first role. You’ll be expected to take a brief and run with it, bringing a clear point of view to design reviews and making thoughtful decisions – not just executing what’s in front of you.

What You'll Work On

High-fidelity designs for net-new product features

Translating UX flows and wireframes into clear, well-structured interfaces

Visual problem-solving beyond the design system – new patterns, layouts, and data presentations where needed

Interfaces for complex, multi-step workflows where clarity and usability matter as much as aesthetics

Engineering-ready Figma files with proper component usage, variants, and annotations for build

How You’ll Work

You’ll receive workflows, requirements, and low-fidelity designs from the UX and product team

You are not responsible for defining the UX, but you are expected to understand it and ensure the final UI makes sense

You’ll work independently and present designs with rationale during review

You’ll prepare final design artifacts for engineering handoff; implementation QA will be handled by the core team

What We're Looking For

5+ years of UI/product design experience, ideally in SaaS or a data-heavy product environment

Strong visual design instincts – you can make something look excellent, not just consistent

Fluency working within an established design system, and the judgment to extend it tastefully when needed

Experience with complex product UI – data-dense screens, graphs, tables, dashboards

Expert-level Figma skills: hi-fi design, prototyping, component architecture, and clean handoff files

Comfortable working independently and showing up to design review with a point of view

What This Role is Not

Not a UX ownership role – you won’t be responsible for defining product flows or strategy

Not a pure execution role – we’re not looking for someone to just “make things pretty”

Not a marketing or brand design role – this is focused on product UI
