UX/UI Designer

UX/UI Designer – Figma, Product Design & User Experience | Remote

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a UX/UI Designer to create intuitive, visually polished, and high-performing digital experiences across web and mobile products.

This is more than a visual design role. You'll own the design process from user research and UX strategy through wireframing, prototyping, high-fidelity UI design, design systems, and developer handoff.

You'll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, QA, and leadership to understand user problems and translate them into digital experiences that are easy to use, scalable, accessible, and aligned with business objectives.

If you combine strong UX thinking with polished UI execution and enjoy solving real product problems through design, this role is a strong fit.

User Research & UX Strategy

• Conduct user interviews, surveys, usability testing, and behavioral analysis
• Identify user needs, pain points, and friction across digital experiences
• Translate research into: personas, user journeys, user flows, information architecture, wireframes
• Use behavioral and analytics tools such as Hotjar, FullStory, Google Analytics
• Combine qualitative and quantitative insights to identify UX opportunities
• Recommend improvements based on user behavior, research, and product goals

Wireframing & Prototyping

• Create low-fidelity wireframes to validate concepts and workflows
• Build interactive prototypes for usability testing and stakeholder review
• Develop high-fidelity product mockups using Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch
• Rapidly iterate based on user testing, stakeholder feedback, QA findings
• Clearly communicate interaction patterns and intended product behavior
• Move concepts efficiently from early exploration to production-ready design

UI & Product Design

• Design clean, modern, and user-friendly interfaces
• Create responsive experiences across desktop, tablet, mobile
• Balance usability, aesthetics, accessibility, and business objectives
• Design user flows and conversion paths that minimize friction
• Apply strong visual hierarchy, typography, spacing, and layout principles
• Ensure interfaces are visually polished and production-ready
• Maintain consistency across features and product experiences

Design Systems & Scalability

• Build and maintain scalable design systems and component libraries
• Establish consistent standards for typography, color, spacing, layouts, components, interaction patterns
• Create reusable components that improve design and development efficiency
• Maintain organized design files, assets, specifications, and documentation
• Ensure consistency across products, features, and platforms
• Evolve design systems as product requirements grow

Accessibility & Usability

• Apply WCAG accessibility standards throughout the design process
• Consider contrast, readability, keyboard accessibility, responsiveness, overall usability
• Conduct usability reviews
• Identify opportunities to simplify complex workflows
• Improve task completion, navigation, conversion paths, overall product usability
• Incorporate accessibility into designs from the beginning rather than treating it as a final check

Product & Engineering Collaboration

• Work closely with Product Managers, Developers, QA, Leadership
• Participate in sprint planning, product discussions, feature prioritization
• Collaborate with engineering throughout implementation rather than only at handoff
• Deliver developer-ready designs using Figma Dev Mode, Zeplin, InVision Inspect
• Provide clear specifications, assets, interaction documentation
• Review implemented designs
• Identify and resolve inconsistencies before release
• Help ensure the final product accurately reflects the intended user experience

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional UX/UI or Product Design experience
• Strong portfolio demonstrating UX problem-solving, UI craftsmanship, responsive design, product design thinking
• Advanced proficiency with Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch
• Experience creating user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, high-fidelity interfaces, responsive layouts, design systems
• Strong understanding of UX and usability principles, interaction design, accessibility, responsive design, mobile-first design
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills
• Ability to clearly explain and defend design decisions
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a remote product environment
• Availability during U.S. client business hours

Preferred Experience

• Experience designing SaaS products, mobile applications, e-commerce platforms
• Experience building or maintaining scalable design systems
• Familiarity with HTML/CSS fundamentals, developer workflows, Agile/Scrum environments
• Experience with behavioral analytics tools such as Hotjar, FullStory, Google Analytics
• Experience conducting A/B tests or design experiments
• Understanding of Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
• Experience collaborating directly with engineering teams through implementation

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• Think about user journeys and product problems, not just individual screens
• Combine strong visual design skills with practical UX thinking
• Can clearly explain the reasoning behind your design decisions
• Are comfortable using research and data to challenge assumptions
• Understand how UX impacts adoption, engagement, conversion, and satisfaction
• Collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Care about consistency, accessibility, and the small details that make products feel polished
• Can iterate quickly without sacrificing design quality
• Understand how designs translate into real products during development
• Take ownership from initial research through final implementation

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Your day may begin by reviewing user behavior, product feedback, or upcoming feature requirements to identify UX opportunities and potential friction.

Throughout the day, you could create user flows and wireframes, build and test interactive prototypes, design polished interfaces in Figma, or refine the product's design system.

You'll collaborate closely with Product and Engineering during sprint execution, incorporate feedback from usability testing and QA, and prepare developer-ready designs with clear specifications and interaction details.

You'll also review implemented features to ensure the final experience maintains the intended design quality and consistency.

In short: you turn user needs and business requirements into intuitive, scalable, accessible, and visually polished digital products.

Key Metrics for Success

• Improved product usability and user satisfaction
• Increased engagement and product adoption
• Reduced friction across critical user journeys
• Improved task completion and conversion flows
• Consistent implementation of design systems
• Reduced design-related development revisions
• On-time delivery of developer-ready designs
• Strong accessibility and responsive design standards
• High-quality implementation of approved designs
• Positive feedback from users and internal stakeholders

Why This Role Stands Out

• End-to-end ownership of UX and UI design
• Opportunity to influence real product strategy and user experience
• Close collaboration with Product and Engineering leadership
• Opportunity to build and improve scalable design systems
• Use of research and analytics to influence product decisions
• Hands-on involvement from discovery through implementation
