As a UX/UI Designer, you will partner closely with product, research, and engineering in cross‑functional teams to deliver user‑centred solutions to complex challenges. You’ll identify problems, develop concepts and hypotheses, and design, prototype, and help test solutions with users. You’ll collaborate with analysts, data scientists, and customer‑facing teams (such as marketing, sales, and support), and use data and insights to inform your decisions. You’ll own the design work within your team end‑to‑end, while working with fellow designers and using the design system to ensure consistency across products.
