  • Remain hands-on as an individual contributor, personally leading the most complex and highest-leverage design initiatives.
  • Own the UX/UI vision across the full product, from early concepts and wireframes through high-fidelity designs and engineering-ready specifications.
  • Design experiences for multiple user groups with distinct needs, mental models, and goals, ensuring each workflow remains intuitive, efficient, and engaging.
  • Build and maintain a scalable Figma-based design system, including design tokens, components, variables, and reusable patterns.
