This is a hands-on UX role focused on moving rapidly from requirements and user needs to high-fidelity, interactive experiences. The UX Analyst will use Figma, AI-assisted design and research tools, design systems, rapid prototyping, usability validation, and accessibility practices to transform complex requirements into intuitive, development-ready solutions. The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly within Agile product teams and can use AI to accelerate-not replace-UX thinking, research synthesis, design exploration, documentation, accessibility evaluation, and prototyping. The role requires someone who can take an experience from concept to high-fidelity prototype to development handoff, while collaborating closely with product owners, stakeholders, developers, and end users., Support the full UX lifecycle from discovery, requirements analysis, and user research through high-fidelity design, interactive prototyping, validation, development handoff, and implementation review. * Translate business, mission, technical, and user requirements into clear user journeys, task flows, experience maps, information architecture, and interface solutions. * Create high-fidelity Figma screens and interactive prototypes that accurately demonstrate intended workflows, interactions, responsive behavior, states, and user outcomes. * Use AI-assisted UX workflows to accelerate research synthesis, requirements analysis, concept exploration, content development, accessibility review, prototyping, and design iteration. * Apply strong UX judgment to validate and refine AI-generated concepts rather than relying on AI-generated output without human review. * Develop and maintain Figma component libraries, variables, reusable patterns, templates, and design-system components that promote consistency and accelerate delivery. * Create UX artifacts as appropriate, including user journeys, personas, workflows, information architecture, experience maps, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, storyboards, and design specifications. * Conduct and synthesize user research and stakeholder discovery through interviews, surveys, observation, contextual inquiry, usability testing, heuristic evaluations, and other appropriate research methods. * Plan, facilitate, and analyze usability testing using interactive prototypes and working applications; translate findings into actionable design recommendations. * Rapidly iterate concepts using high-fidelity prototypes and AI-enabled prototyping techniques to allow stakeholders and users to experience proposed solutions before development investment. * Design responsive experiences for desktop, tablet, and mobile environments, considering device capabilities, user context, interaction methods, and platform conventions. * Ensure designs meet applicable Section 508 and WCAG accessibility requirements, incorporating accessibility into the design process rather than treating compliance as a final review activity. * Design accessible interaction patterns including keyboard navigation, focus behavior, semantic structure, form interactions, error handling, color contrast, responsive behavior, and assistive-technology considerations. * Apply established organizational design systems and standards, including U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) patterns when applicable. * Collaborate directly with product managers, business analysts, developers, architects, accessibility specialists, and stakeholders to ensure proposed experiences are both desirable and technically feasible. * Provide development-ready Figma specifications and assets, including responsive behavior, component states, interaction logic, icons/SVGs, spacing, sizing, and design-system references. * Work closely with front-end developers during implementation to ensure the delivered experience accurately reflects the approved UX direction. * Conduct UX implementation reviews and identify discrepancies between approved designs and developed interfaces. * Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies including planning, refinement, reviews, demonstrations, retrospectives, and UX/design critiques. * Clearly communicate and present design rationale, research findings, prototype concepts, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders. The UX Analyst should demonstrate the ability to responsibly incorporate modern AI capabilities into the UX workflow. This may include using AI to: * Analyze and synthesize research, stakeholder feedback, and requirements. * Identify themes, usability issues, gaps, and potential experience opportunities. * Explore multiple interaction and experience concepts rapidly. * Generate initial content, interface concepts, or design alternatives for human evaluation. * Accelerate creation of prototypes and proof-of-concept experiences. * Assist with accessibility analysis and design-system compliance. * Support UX documentation, user stories, acceptance criteria, and development handoff. * Translate design intent into prototype code or front-end concepts when appropriate. ## Related Videos - [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) - [It’s easy to create a good looking product, but what about a useful one?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/743-it-s-easy-to-create-a-good-looking-product-but-what-about-a-useful-one) - [Building a component library for modern challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/650-building-a-component-library-for-modern-challenges) - [The Resilience of the World Wide Web](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1281-the-resilience-of-the-world-wide-web) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) ## Related Articles - [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) - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front)
