Evaluate and implement emerging AI design tools and workflows. Application UI & UX Design • Design intuitive, scalable, enterprise-grade application interfaces. • Create wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and interaction flows. • Ensure interfaces align with usability, accessibility, and responsive design best practices. • Collaborate with Product Managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into user-centered experiences. Engineering Collaboration • Partner closely with frontend developers to ensure accurate implementation of the design system. • Help bridge the gap between Figma components and production-ready frontend components. • Contribute to component naming conventions, documentation, and governance processes. • Participate in design reviews and frontend implementation reviews. Governance & Documentation Maintain comprehensive documentation for: • components, • patterns, • design tokens, • accessibility requirements, • AI usage standards. Establish processes for approving and evolving new UI patterns and components.
