UX/UI Designer

UX/UI Designer (Figma, Product Design & User Experience) – Remote | U.S. Hours

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

About the Role

At Pavago, we’re hiring a UX/UI Designer for one of our clients to design intuitive, visually polished, and high-performing digital experiences across web and mobile products.

This is not simply a visual design role. You’ll own the design process from user research and UX strategy through wireframing, prototyping, high-fidelity UI, design systems, and developer handoff.

You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, QA, and leadership to understand user problems and translate them into digital experiences that are easy to use, scalable, and aligned with business objectives.

If you combine strong UX thinking with polished UI execution and enjoy solving real product problems through design, this role is a strong fit.

What You’ll Own

User Research & UX Strategy

• Conduct user interviews, surveys, usability testing, and behavioral analysis.
• Identify user needs, pain points, and friction across digital experiences.
• Translate research into:
• Personas
• User journeys
• User flows
• Information architecture
• Wireframes
• Use behavioral and analytics tools such as Hotjar, FullStory, and Google Analytics to uncover opportunities for improvement.
• Recommend UX improvements based on qualitative and quantitative insights.

Wireframing & Prototyping

• Create low-fidelity wireframes to validate concepts and workflows.
• Build interactive prototypes for usability testing and stakeholder review.
• Develop high-fidelity product mockups using Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch.
• Rapidly iterate based on user testing, stakeholder feedback, and QA findings.
• Clearly communicate interaction patterns and intended product behavior.

UI & Product Design

• Design clean, modern, and user-friendly interfaces.
• Create responsive experiences across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Balance usability, aesthetics, accessibility, and business objectives.
• Design user flows and conversion paths that minimize friction.
• Ensure interfaces are visually polished and production-ready.

Design Systems & Scalability

• Build and maintain scalable design systems and component libraries.
• Establish consistent standards for:
• Typography
• Color
• Spacing
• Layouts
• Components
• Interaction patterns
• Create reusable components that improve design and development efficiency.
• Maintain organized design files, assets, specifications, and documentation.
• Ensure consistency across products, features, and platforms.

Accessibility & Usability

• Apply WCAG accessibility standards throughout the design process.
• Consider contrast, readability, keyboard accessibility, responsiveness, and usability.
• Conduct usability reviews and identify opportunities to simplify workflows.
• Improve task completion, navigation, conversion paths, and overall product usability.

Product & Engineering Collaboration

• Work closely with:
• Product Managers
• Developers
• QA
• Leadership
• Participate in sprint planning, product discussions, and feature prioritization.
• Collaborate with engineering throughout implementation rather than only at handoff.
• Deliver developer-ready designs using Figma Dev Mode, Zeplin, or InVision Inspect.
• Provide clear specifications, assets, and interaction documentation.
• Review implemented designs and help resolve inconsistencies before release.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You think about user journeys and product problems, not just individual screens.
• You combine strong visual design skills with practical UX thinking.
• You can explain the reasoning behind your design decisions.
• You’re comfortable using research and data to challenge assumptions.
• You understand how UX impacts adoption, engagement, conversion, and satisfaction.
• You collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• You care about consistency, accessibility, and the small details that make products feel polished.
• You can iterate quickly without sacrificing design quality.

Required Experience & Skills

• 2+ years of professional UX/UI or Product Design experience.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating:
• UX problem-solving
• UI craftsmanship
• Responsive design
• Product design thinking
• Advanced proficiency with:
• Figma
• Adobe XD
• Sketch
• Experience creating:
• User flows
• Wireframes
• Interactive prototypes
• High-fidelity interfaces
• Responsive layouts
• Design systems
• Strong understanding of:
• UX and usability principles
• Interaction design
• Accessibility
• Responsive and mobile-first design
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a remote product environment.

Preferred Experience

• Experience designing:
• SaaS products
• Mobile applications
• E-commerce platforms
• Experience building or maintaining scalable design systems.
• Familiarity with:
• HTML/CSS fundamentals
• Developer workflows
• Agile/Scrum environments
• Experience with behavioral analytics tools such as:
• Hotjar
• FullStory
• Google Analytics
• Experience conducting A/B tests or design experiments.
• Understanding of conversion rate optimization (CRO).
• Experience collaborating directly with engineering teams through implementation.

What a Typical Day Looks Like
