The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the visual and interaction quality of a web application by building polished, detailed user interfaces in code. Work closely with company leadership, the product team and frontend engineers to refine key user flows and roll out a refreshed brand across the product. The role offers a path toward leading the design function over time.
What you'll do
- Build polished, detailed interfaces with hands-on frontend implementation.
- Refine information architecture and core user flows across the product.
- Design and implement micro-interactions such as icon animations and loading states.
- Raise the level of visual detail and craft throughout the application.
- Apply a refreshed brand across all product surfaces together with frontend engineers.
- Take part in regular design reviews with the team.
- Grow toward ownership of the design function.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Production-grade frontend experience with React and TypeScript.
- A portfolio or work sample showing a high level of polish and craft, in a range of styles including minimalist or graphic-design-led.
- Prior work showing close attention to micro-interactions and frontend polish.
- Experience with data-heavy business or developer-facing products, with a portfolio featuring complex table and form based dashboards.
- Hands-on experience with micro-interaction work.
- A track record of spending most of your time building and shipping frontend code, rather than design-only or prototyping work.
- A background at product organizations known for their emphasis on quality design.
- Willingness to work on-site 5 days a week in New York.
Bonus points
- Figma and visual design skills.
- Enjoyment of creating shared, reusable interface building blocks.
