UX Designer responsibilities

  • Conduct user research (interviews, usability tests, analytics review) to identify friction points and validate design decisions
  • Create wireframes, prototypes, and design systems that ship with engineering, maintaining consistency across web and mobile surfaces
  • Lead design critique sessions and advocate for user needs when product roadmap priorities conflict with UX debt
  • Measure design impact through session recordings, task completion rates, and NPS trends, then iterate based on data
  • Collaborate with product and engineering during sprints to solve edge cases and handle technical constraints early
  • Establish and document interaction patterns and accessibility standards so the team ships consistently without design review bottlenecks

  • Experience conducting moderated user research and synthesizing findings into actionable insights
  • Working knowledge of how design decisions affect development scope and feasibility
  • Ability to present design decisions to non-designers and defend choices with evidence, not preference

Nice to have
