Redesign the mobile web app by gathering user insights, creating wireframes, implementing a new design system, and turning those wireframes into polished UI. Build a set of flexible, composable components in the design system that enable other engineers to construct consistent, beautiful setup wizards across the product. Consult on bespoke design work required by product engineers, improving information hierarchy and scannability for recruiter-facing features. Shape the UI and UX of a powerful, complex product used by 100,000+ weekly active users and millions of candidates per week.
