  • You have a highly refined aesthetic sense and can both work within and expand the Vectra style guide and design system.
  • You are practiced at partnering with Product Managers, Sales Engineers, UI Engineers, and other UX designers to create the design for a feature from conception to launch.
  • You are open to feedback and know how to use it to your advantage.
  • You know when to conform and when to push boundaries.
  • You are used to creating detailed mock-ups, interaction workflows, wireframes, and prototypes to illustrate design intent and clearly communicate with internal stakeholders.
  • You support every design decision you make—from the smallest text change to entire overhauls—with logical, thoughtful, and clear rationales.

Qualifications

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a thorough grasp of user experience and interaction design
  • Self-motivated and able to prioritize and manage workload to meet project deadlines
  • BA/BS degree in Design (e.g. graphic, interaction, visual communications, product, industrial), HCI, CS, or a related field or equivalent practical experience
