Product Designer

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

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Product Designer to create intuitive, scalable, and visually polished digital experiences across web and mobile products.

This is not a purely visual UI design role. You'll own the product design process from user research and UX flows through wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity interfaces, design systems, and developer handoff.

You'll work closely with product managers and engineers to simplify complex workflows and create experiences that are functional, accessible, user-friendly, and aligned with business goals.

If you combine strong UX thinking, UI craftsmanship, product problem-solving, and Figma expertise, this role is a strong fit.

What You'll Own

User Research & Product Discovery

• Conduct user interviews, usability tests, surveys, and product research
• Identify user pain points, friction, and product improvement opportunities
• Create: personas, journey maps, user flows, interaction models
• Analyze user behavior using tools such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, Hotjar
• Translate research and product insights into actionable design decisions

UX Design & Product Flows

• Design intuitive workflows across web and mobile products
• Translate product requirements into user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes
• Simplify complex interactions into clear, easy-to-use experiences
• Consider edge cases and different user states throughout the design process
• Iterate quickly based on user, product, and stakeholder feedback

UI Design & Prototyping

• Create polished, high-fidelity product interfaces using Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch
• Design responsive experiences across desktop, tablet, mobile
• Establish clear visual hierarchy, interaction patterns, micro-interactions, interface consistency
• Balance visual quality with usability and product functionality

Design Systems & Scalability

• Build and maintain scalable design systems
• Develop reusable component libraries
• Define standards for typography, spacing, color, icons, components, UI patterns
• Maintain consistency across products and features
• Improve collaboration between design and engineering through structured systems

Product & Engineering Collaboration

• Partner closely with Product Managers to define requirements and priorities
• Collaborate with engineers throughout implementation
• Prepare developer-ready designs, assets, specifications, documentation
• Use Figma Dev Mode or similar workflows for efficient handoff
• Review implementations and help resolve design discrepancies
• Support QA and refinement through development and release

Testing & Continuous Improvement

• Conduct usability reviews on existing and newly launched experiences
• Gather user and stakeholder feedback after releases
• Run or support A/B tests to validate design decisions
• Analyze product performance and identify UX improvements
• Continuously iterate to improve usability, engagement, retention, task completion

Required Experience & Skills

• 2+ years of professional Product Design or UX/UI Design experience
• Strong proficiency with Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch
• Experience designing responsive web and mobile products
• Strong understanding of UX principles, interaction design, usability, accessibility, responsive design
• Experience creating user flows, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity interfaces
• Experience collaborating directly with product and engineering teams
• Strong portfolio demonstrating product thinking and UX problem-solving, not just visual design
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working remotely during U.S. business hours

Preferred Experience

• Experience designing SaaS platforms, B2B products, consumer applications
• Experience building or maintaining design systems and component libraries
• Familiarity with product analytics and experimentation tools such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, Optimizely, Hotjar
• Understanding of HTML/CSS or front-end development fundamentals
• Experience working in Agile or sprint-based product teams

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You:

• Think about user problems before pixels
• Can simplify complicated workflows into intuitive experiences
• Balance user needs with business and technical requirements
• Think in systems, components, and scalable patterns
• Communicate and defend design decisions clearly
• Collaborate effectively with product managers and engineers
• Care about implementation quality, not just the Figma file
• Move quickly while maintaining attention to detail

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You may:

• Review user behavior and identify UX opportunities
• Map user journeys and product flows
• Create wireframes and interactive prototypes
• Design polished interfaces in Figma
• Review requirements with Product Managers
• Collaborate with engineers on implementation details
• Review builds and resolve UX/UI inconsistencies
• Maintain reusable components and design systems
• Conduct usability testing and analyze feedback
• Iterate on existing features based on user and product data

In short: you turn product ideas and user problems into intuitive, scalable, and polished digital experiences that people can use effortlessly.

Key Metrics for Success

• Improved usability and task completion rates
• Increased user engagement and retention
• Design system consistency and adoption
• On-time delivery of designs and prototypes
• Reduced design-related implementation rework
• Successful product and engineering handoffs
• Positive user and stakeholder feedback

Why This Role Stands Out

• Own the complete product design lifecycle
• Work directly with product and engineering teams
• Solve meaningful UX and workflow challenges
• Influence both product experience and design systems
• Design across web and mobile environments
• High ownership in a remote product environment
• Opportunity to grow into Senior Product Designer, Lead Product Designer, UX Lead, Head of Design
