At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a **Product Designer (UX/UI)** to create intuitive, modern, and user-friendly digital experiences across web and mobile products.

You’ll own the design process from **user research and wireframing through high-fidelity UI, prototyping, and developer handoff**, working closely with Product and Engineering.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong **UX problem-solving with polished visual design** and knows how to turn complex ideas into simple, engaging product experiences.

### **What You’ll Do**

### **UX Research & Product Discovery**

-   Use tools such as **Mixpanel, Amplitude, or Hotjar** to understand user behavior

### **UX/UI Design & Prototyping**

-   Create wireframes, user flows, and clickable prototypes
-   Design polished, responsive interfaces for web and mobile

-   Iterate designs based on user feedback, testing, and product requirements

### **Design Systems**

-   Build and maintain reusable components and design patterns

### **What We’re Looking For**

-   **2+ years of Product Design / UX/UI experience**
-   Strong portfolio demonstrating both **UX thinking and UI craftsmanship**

-   Strong understanding of:

### **Nice to Have**

-   Familiarity with **WCAG accessibility standards**
-   Basic understanding of HTML/CSS
-   Experience with analytics, usability testing, or A/B testing
-   Experience building or scaling design systems

### **What Success Looks Like**

-   Intuitive and polished product experiences
-   Improved usability, engagement, and user satisfaction
-   Smooth collaboration and developer handoffs
-   Consistent adoption of design systems
-   Fewer design revisions and usability issues
-   Reliable delivery within product and sprint timelines

### **Why This Role Stands Out**

-   High ownership over real product experiences
-   Work closely with Product and Engineering
-   Modern UX/UI and product design workflows
-   Opportunity to influence product decisions
-   Fully remote environment
-   Growth into **Senior Product Designer, Lead Designer, or Design Systems Lead**

### **Interview Process**
