This is an exciting remote-based opportunity
We are looking for a seasoned and self-sufficient User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) designer to lead the design of lightweight mobile applications that would often operate as a subset of a more complicated application. We require someone with a demonstrable history of designing small-screen applications with highly commended mobile-specific user experience.
You’ll work closely with Business Analysts, Testers and Developers, and will sometimes interact with users/clients to gather their UI/UX specific requirements and/or feedback.

- Experience collaborating with developers, UX designers, and testers.
- Familiarity with mobile platform differences and limitations related to UI/UX.

- Sharp focus on user experience – able to think like a user and refine journeys accordingly.
- Excellent communication skills – can clearly articulate complex functionality, trade-offs, and limitations.
- Comfortable working solo with limited oversight – strong self-management and initiative.
- Detail-oriented, analytical mindset with the ability to see both big-picture flows and edge case specifics.
- Confident in engaging with all stakeholders and developers alike.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Own and lead the requirements gathering process for the UI and UX of mobile applications.
- Collaborate with the client to understand business needs and translate them into user-centric mobile app workflows.
- Advise and be clear on what can operate on a mobile device and how to integrate into its “standard” functionality, like screen notifications and privacy/location settings
- Break down complex user journeys into clear, streamlined experiences suited to mobile constraints.
- Ensure solutions are aligned with UX/UI best practices and technical feasibility within mobile environments.
- Work closely with developers to clarify requirements and address technical constraints.
- Evaluate proposed solutions and flag issues related to usability, edge cases, or platform-specific limitations.
- Serve as the subject-matter expert on mobile UX behavior, patterns, and cross-platform interactions (iOS, Android, web).
