Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior UI/UX Designer - **Company:** DecisionPoint Corporation - **Location:** Reston, VA, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Design of User Interfaces, Scrum Methodology, Software Engineering, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, SC Clearance, Material UI, Figma - **Published:** July 21, 2026 - **Apply:** https://diversityjobs.com/main/sendform/8/8/28176/1/17653917?backUrl=%2Fcareer%2F17653917%2FSenior-Ui-Ux-Designer-Virginia-Reston ## About the Role * Must hold an active Secret clearance. * Bachelor's degree preferred with a minimum of 7 years of relevant experience. * Demonstrated professional experience as a UI/UX Designer, with a portfolio showing design system creation and complex, data-dense application design (case management, healthcare, financial, or similar regulated domains preferred). * Strong working proficiency in Figma, including component libraries, auto layout, variants, and design tokens; comfort designing for and directly collaborating with development teams. * Working knowledge of WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508 accessibility requirements and demonstrated experience designing to meet them. * Experience designing responsive interfaces across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints, including for low-bandwidth or high-latency network conditions. * Ability to translate ambiguous or evolving requirements into clear design artifacts, and to communicate design rationale to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including Government reviewers. * Experience partnering with front-end or low-code development teams to ensure design fidelity from prototype to production. * Prior experience on a DoD, federal, or other highly regulated program is a plus. ## Description Establish and maintain the DCIPS Future design system in Figma: color palette, typography, spacing and grid standards, iconography, and a reusable component library, built from a blank slate with no existing brand assets. * Design global structural elements first (header, footer, navigation, layout grid) to give all three development teams a consistent foundation before feature-level screens begin. * Translate plain-language and PWS-derived UI/UX requirements into Figma prototypes and specifications the Government and engineering teams can review, approve, and build from. * Design screens that prioritize in-line viewing and editing of data over new views or context-switching, consistent with program UI/UX direction. * Design progress charting, contextual help, tooltips, and in-application guidance that update automatically as users move through multi-step casualty and survivor workflows. * Apply a restrained, professional visual tone appropriate to a casualty and survivor-facing system, including careful, non-ambiguous use of color and status indicators. * Design to WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508 standards: color contrast, focus indicators, minimum touch target sizes, text resize behavior, and no reliance on color alone to convey information. * Design for low-bandwidth, high-latency conditions (for example, shipboard or in-theater users): optimized image assets, minimal network requests, and clear loading, retry, and autosave behavior. * Define design tokens (color, typography, spacing, elevation, component states) that map cleanly to reactive implementation, to ensure design intent survives the build. * Maintain consistent component and pattern usage across all three development teams so any UX/UI developer can move between teams with minimal ramp-up. * Participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives) and incorporate feedback from usability testing, sprint reviews, and stakeholder workshops into iterative design updates. * Support creation and upkeep of UI/UX design documentation, including the brand guidelines and design system reference used by developers and Government reviewers. ## Related Videos - [Building a component library for modern challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/650-building-a-component-library-for-modern-challenges) - [Learn Enough Design to Be Dangerous](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/577-learn-enough-design-to-be-dangerous) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Preventing Accessibility Issues Instead Of Fixing Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/804-preventing-accessibility-issues-instead-of-fixing-them) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) ## Related Articles - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Declarative Design and a fresh take on collaboration with developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/595-declarative-design-and-a-fresh-take-on-collaboration-with-developers) - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [10 Essential Figma Plugins for Frontend Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/262-10-essential-figma-plugins-for-frontend-developers-in-2023) - [Top 7 CSS Frameworks in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/362-top-7-css-frameworks-in-2025) - [The future is here: How artificial intelligence is influencing UX design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/65-the-future-is-here-how-artificial-intelligence-is-influencing-ux-design)
