UI/UX Designer (Figma) — with React Front-End
Location: Remote Type: Full-time, Permanent About us: www.Lys\-ia.com
About the Work
We have an existing application that needs to be revamped for mobile, alongside a roadmap of new features to design and build. You'll be the person who takes it from where it is today to a modern, responsive product that works as well on a phone as it does on a desktop.
This means starting at the beginning — sitting with business stakeholders and the product owner to understand what's needed and why — then designing the screens, and working alongside the development team to get them built correctly.
The Role — 60% Design / 40% Front-End
You'll own the design of the product end to end in Figma, then help bring your own work to life in React. Roughly 60% of your time is design, and the remaining 40% is front-end implementation when design work is between cycles.
This is a good fit if you're a designer who likes shipping, not a full-time engineer looking for a design title.
Design (primary — ~60%)
- Work directly with business stakeholders and the product owner to gather requirements, understand the problem, and turn vague asks into clear, buildable designs.
- Ask the questions nobody asked yet — edge cases, error states, what happens when there's no data, what the user is actually trying to do.
- Map out user flows, information architecture and wireframes before jumping to visuals.
- Design high-fidelity screens in Figma for both desktop and mobile, including the mobile revamp of existing screens and net-new features.
- Build and maintain a component library and design system with clear specs, states, spacing and tokens that hand off cleanly to React.
- Create interactive prototypes to validate flows with stakeholders before development starts.
- Design responsive layouts that hold up from small phone screens to wide desktop displays.
- Present and defend design decisions, gather feedback, and iterate quickly.
- Keep the visual language consistent — color, typography, iconography, patterns — and aligned with brand guidelines.
Front-End (secondary — ~40%)
- Implement your designs in React, working from the shared component library.
- Build UI with Material UI and/or Tailwind CSS, keeping components reusable and consistent with the design system.
- Integrate front-end components with REST APIs.
- Handle responsive behavior, mobile breakpoints, accessibility basics and cross-browser polish.
- Partner with developers during implementation so what ships matches what was designed — review builds, catch drift, fix the small stuff yourself.
What You'll Need
- 2–3+ years of professional experience in a UI/UX design role (or a hybrid design/front-end role).
- Strong Figma skills — wireframes, high-fidelity screens, components, auto layout, prototyping and developer handoff.
- Hands-on React experience — building and styling components in a real codebase, comfortable with modern JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML and CSS. This is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
- Practical experience with Material UI and/or Tailwind CSS.
- Demonstrated experience designing mobile and responsive interfaces, not just desktop screens scaled down.
- A portfolio showing both the thinking (flows, structure, iterations) and the finished screens.
- Experience gathering requirements directly from business users and product owners — you're comfortable in the room, not waiting for a spec to land in your inbox.
- Solid grounding in user-centered design principles and accessibility.
- Clear communication — you can explain design decisions to non-designers and take feedback well.
Nice to Have
- Experience modernizing or redesigning an existing application.
- Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system in code (Storybook, tokens).
- Familiarity with usability testing and gathering user feedback.
- Git-based workflow experience.
