## Description

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

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.
