- Design functional, modern and accessible UX/UI for data-rich dashboards and internal tools.

- Design and implement data visualizations — charts, tables, filters and real-time views.
- Collaborate with product, backend and design stakeholders to refine requirements.
- Maintain a shared component library and design system.
- Own quality end-to-end: performance, accessibility, edge cases and visual polish.
Requirements
- 5+ years building production web interfaces; portfolio showing design sensibility and engineering depth.

- Solid UX/UI fundamentals: layout, hierarchy, interaction design and accessibility (WCAG).
- Proficiency with Figma (or similar) for designing and prototyping.
- Experience integrating frontends with backend APIs — handling auth, async data, loading/error states and caching.
- Experience building dashboards: data tables, filtering and charting libraries.
- Ability to work from ambiguous requirements and make product/design decisions independently.
- B2 English.
Nice to have
- Backend familiarity (Node.js or another server language) and understanding of API design.
- Experience with real-time data (WebSockets / SSE).
- Familiarity with design systems and component documentation (e.g., Storybook).
