Hire a UX/UI Designer.
From problem statement to production-ready components — research, wireframes, high-fidelity design, and design-system maintenance.
Pre-vetted, full-time dedicated, with HR & payroll handled.
Overview
What a UX/UI Designer actually does.
UX/UI designers we place close the loop between research and shipped pixels. We vet for process fluency (can they take a vague brief and return a testable prototype?) and hand-off discipline (does their Figma file survive contact with the engineering team?).
Responsibilities
- Translate product briefs into wireframes, flows, and prototypes
- Run lightweight usability tests and integrate findings
- Maintain design tokens, components, and documentation
- Pair with front-end engineers on component handoff
- Audit accessibility and information architecture

How We Vet This Role
Role-scoped, not one-size-fits-all.
Design candidates work a scoped design brief end-to-end — research recap, wireframes, hi-fi, and a handoff file. We grade clarity of thinking, not visual polish in isolation.
