## About the Role

Must-Have Qualifications

 * Experience: 2+ years of dedicated experience as an Interaction Designer, Product Designer, or UX Designer specializing in digital product interfaces.
 * Tooling Expertise: Advanced mastery of Figma as your primary tool, including deep experience with component architecture, auto-layout, interactive components, tokens, and variables.
 * Portfolio Requirement: A strong design portfolio highlighting end-to-end interaction design problem-solving, detailed user flows, system thinking, and dynamic interactive Figma prototypes.
 * Interaction Foundations: Strong grasp of human-computer interaction (HCI) fundamentals, cognitive load management, mental models, standard web/mobile interaction patterns, and responsive layout behavior.
 * Agile Collaboration: Proven background working within cross-functional, iterative agile product teams alongside product managers and software engineers.
 * Communication: Clear verbal and visual presentation skills to convey interaction mechanics and justify design decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders., * Technical Awareness: Foundational knowledge of front-end capabilities and constraints (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to optimize collaboration and feasibility with development teams.
 * Accessibility: Deep familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG), keyboard navigation patterns, and inclusive design practices.

## Description

* Interaction Architecture & User Flows: Map end-to-end user journeys, task flows, detailed wireframes, and interaction models that solve complex product challenges.
 * High-Fidelity Prototyping in Figma: Build robust, realistic interactive prototypes using advanced Figma features (components, interactive variants, variables, auto-layout, and expressions) to evaluate usability and communicate functional logic.
 * State & Edge-Case Definition: Define comprehensive interface behaviors, edge cases, transitions, error handling, and component state changes (hover, active, disabled, loading) to ensure intuitive experiences across platforms.
 * Design Systems Collaboration: Partner closely with visual designers and front-end engineers to contribute interactive component specs, guidelines, and behavioral patterns to the shared design system.
 * Concept Validation & Usability Testing: Partner with user researchers to run usability sessions on interactive Figma prototypes, translating evaluative findings into actionable iterative refinements.
 * Technical & Engineering Handoff: Document interaction specifications, transition curves, and component behaviors clearly for engineers to ensure pixel-perfect and motion-accurate implementation.
 * Stakeholder Alignment: Articulate interaction rationale, user-centric behavioral models, and design trade-offs across multidisciplinary product teams.
