About the Role
We’re looking for a mid-level UX Designer who combines thoughtful problem-solving with strong visual design craft.

- Translate customer needs, business requirements, and project briefs into user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and interactive prototypes.
- Identify usability issues and opportunities through customer feedback, usability testing, analytics, and collaboration with partners.
- Design clear navigation, content hierarchy, interactions, and interface states across desktop and mobile, with accessibility considered throughout.
- Partner with the Senior UX Designer, marketing stakeholders, copywriters, and developers to align solutions with customer needs and business goals.
- Use and contribute to Vivint’s design system, including reusable components, patterns, and documentation that support consistency across web experiences.
- Present design decisions clearly, incorporate feedback thoughtfully, and communicate progress, tradeoffs, and dependencies.
- Prepare organized Figma files and developer-ready specifications; partner with developers through implementation and review the built experience for design quality.
- Manage defined projects and deadlines independently, with guidance from the Senior UX Designer and design leadership.
Minimum Qualifications
- A portfolio demonstrating UX thinking, strong interface design, and your process from problem definition through final solution.
- At least 2 years of relevant professional UX/UI design experience, including in-house, agency, or freelance work, with the ability to carry defined digital projects from discovery through design and handoff.
- Proficiency in Figma, including auto layout, components, variants, and interactive prototyping.
- Proficiency with AI tools to explore concepts, generate and refine interface ideas and prototypes, and streamline design workflows while applying sound UX judgment.
- An understanding of user-centered design, responsive behavior, accessibility, information architecture, and interaction design.
- Strong visual design skills in typography, layout, hierarchy, and brand application, with attention to detail across interface states.
- A collaborative approach, openness to feedback, and the ability to explain design decisions and work through constraints with stakeholders and developers.
- Good organization, time management, and communication skills, with the ability to balance customer needs, business goals, and delivery timelines.
- A college degree in UX Design, Interaction Design, Graphic Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field, or equivalent professional UX/UI design experience demonstrated through a strong portfolio.
- No professional certifications required.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing ecommerce, product discovery, configuration, or checkout experiences.
