Job description

Seeking a Junior UX Designer on a long-term contract to support mission-critical digital products for real-time drilling operations. You will embed directly with the UX team, working within an established design system alongside senior designers and cross-functional engineering teams to deliver clear, efficient interfaces for field engineers and operations personnel.

What You'll Do

Design wireframes, user flows, interaction models, and high-fidelity prototypes for enterprise web applications

Collaborate with product owners, engineers, and subject matter experts to translate complex operational workflows into intuitive UI

Participate in user research, usability testing, and design critiques

Contribute to and maintain components within the Design System (Figma + Angular/PrimeNG)

Use AI-assisted coding tools to rapidly prototype and validate design concepts in-browser - GitHub Copilot (required); Claude (preferred); familiarity with browser-based AI builders such as Bolt or v0 a plus

Deliver design specs, annotations, and developer handoff documentation via Figma

Support accessibility reviews and ensure designs meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards

Participate in agile ceremonies within a sprint-based development environment

Requirements

2-5 years of UX/product design experience, preferably in enterprise or SaaS environments

Strong Figma proficiency - components, auto layout, variables, prototyping

Demonstrated ability to produce wireframes, user flows, and interactive prototypes

Experience working with or contributing to a design system

Working knowledge of AI-assisted prototyping - GitHub Copilot (required); ability to generate functional HTML/CSS/JS prototypes; familiarity with browser-based AI builders such as Bolt or v0 a plus

Understanding of front-end fundamentals sufficient to prototype and collaborate effectively with engineers

Portfolio demonstrating UX process, problem framing, and design rationale - not just polished visuals

Preferred

Experience with Angular or Prime NG component libraries

Familiarity with data-dense dashboard or operational UI

Exposure to Token Studio, Figma Variables, or design token pipelines

Background in industrial, O&G, or engineering software

Skills & Competencies

User research & synthesis - interviews, usability testing, affinity mapping

Information architecture & interaction design

Visual design fundamentals - typography, spacing, hierarchy, color

Design system contribution - not just consumption

AI-assisted prototyping - core expectation, not a bonus

Clear communication and ability to present and defend design decisions

Comfortable operating in ambiguity and iterating quickly
