- *Senior UX/UI Designer****Design \& Development**
EXPERIENCE **3–6 Years**LOCATION **Hyderabad** **ABOUT THE ROLE**
We are building digital products for US\-based clients across enterprise SaaS, web, and mobile platforms — and we need a designer who can own the full UX lifecycle from research to final developer handoff. You will be embedded in cross\-functional squads with Product Managers, Engineers, and QA, collaborating closely with US stakeholders in an async\-first environment.
This is not a pixel\-pusher role. You bring strategic thinking to ambiguous problems, can defend design decisions with research evidence, and execute with precision when it counts. You are comfortable working with minimal supervision and thrive when given real ownership of product experiences.**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES*** **UX Research \& Discovery:** Lead user research, usability testing, competitive analysis, and stakeholder interviews to uncover user needs and validate design hypotheses.
- **Information Architecture:** Define IA, user flows, and navigation models for complex multi\-feature web and mobile applications.
- **Wireframing \& Prototyping:** Produce low\-fidelity wireframes through to interactive high\-fidelity prototypes that communicate design intent clearly to engineers and stakeholders.
- **UI Design Execution:** Design responsive, accessible, visually polished interfaces for web and mobile platforms using Figma.
- **Design Systems:** Build, contribute to, and maintain scalable design systems, component libraries, and style guides that ensure product\-wide consistency.
- **Developer Handoff:** Produce complete design specs, annotations, and redlines for seamless engineering implementation using Figma Dev Mode or Zeplin.
- **Stakeholder Communication:** Present design rationale clearly to US\-based clients and product stakeholders, incorporating feedback while maintaining design integrity.
- **Accessibility:** Ensure all designs conform to WCAG 2\.1 AA standards — this is a baseline requirement for US client projects, not optional.
- **Mentoring:** Provide constructive design reviews and informal guidance to junior designers on the team.
- **Continuous Improvement:** Apply data\-driven and feedback\-driven iteration to improve shipped experiences over time.
- *REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS**
- 3–6 years of professional UX/UI or product design experience, with a portfolio of end\-to\-end shipped products
- Deep proficiency in Figma — auto\-layout, variants, components, design tokens, prototyping, and dev handoff
- Experience building or contributing meaningfully to a design system
- Hands\-on UX research experience: user interviews, usability testing, card sorting, competitive benchmarking
- Strong grasp of responsive design, interaction patterns, and mobile\-first design principles
- Applied knowledge of WCAG 2\.1 AA — not just awareness, but actively applied in past work
- Basic HTML/CSS literacy — sufficient for informed feasibility conversations with front\-end engineers
- Excellent written English communication — essential for async collaboration with US\-based teams
- Experience in Agile/Scrum environments: sprint planning, backlog grooming, design sprints, and stakeholder demos
- Strong portfolio showcasing research process, design decisions, iterations, and measured outcomes
- *PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS**
