UI/UX Designer

What you would do

• Create visually compelling graphics, layouts, and interactive interfaces aligned with project requirements and user goals
• Develop and iterate on UI/UX wireframes, interactive prototypes, and design systems in Figma
• Apply advanced typography, color theory, and layout principles to enhance readability and brand consistency
• Review design work in progress and provide constructive, specific feedback to improve iterations
• Document design decisions in writing and presentations, explaining rationale for visual and interaction choices

Who they want

• 5+ years in graphic design or interface design roles with a strong body of work showing real impact and professional quality
• Advanced Figma expertise and fluency with modern design tools; proven experience creating and maintaining scalable design systems
• Strong grasp of typeface design, color application, and spatial layout for digital media and user experiences
• Strong ability to document and present design thinking in multiple formats; communicate design choices with specificity and accessibility awareness
• Demonstrated ability to deliver constructive design feedback and iterate on complex challenges

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Design system architecture and component reuse

   Scalable products depend on robust design systems; your ability to structure components and tokens determines development speed and consistency.

   For example: “You're designing a design system for a B2B SaaS product used across six different workflows. How do you structure button, form, and card components so they work across contexts without overengineering?”

2. 2.Typography hierarchy and readability

   Poor type choices or scale hierarchy make interfaces feel amateurish and reduce comprehension; your mastery here directly impacts user experience quality.

   For example: “An interface has a dense data table with six columns and inconsistent type sizing. How would you establish a type scale that makes headlines, labels, and data all readable in the constrained space?”

3. 3.Accessibility and inclusive design application

   Legal and ethical obligations require accessible design; your integration of WCAG standards into the visual work prevents excluding users.

   For example: “Your design uses a color-coded system to distinguish severity levels in alerts. How do you ensure this works for colorblind users while maintaining visual clarity?”

4. 4.Design feedback quality and specificity

   Vague feedback ('make it better') wastes iteration cycles; specific critiques with reasoning accelerate design refinement.

   For example: “A designer submits a new icon set for your review. Three icons work well but one feels inconsistent in style. How do you articulate what's wrong and what should change?”

5. 5.Interaction design and user mental models

   Visual design without thoughtful interaction patterns confuses users; you must understand how gestures, states, and transitions shape mental models.

   For example: “You're designing a filter interface for a product listing. How do you structure the interaction so users understand which filters are active, how to clear them, and how results update?”

A task you may get

Take a wireframe sketch and design a high-fidelity screen in Figma, applying consistent typography, color, and interaction patterns. Document three design decisions you made and explain how each improves usability or visual clarity.

How to prepare

• Study design systems from leading tech companies and analyze how they structure components and design tokens
• Review WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards and practice analyzing existing interfaces for compliance gaps
• Collect three interfaces you think have excellent typography and hierarchy; document why each works and what makes them different
• Practice giving specific design feedback on a peer's work: identify one thing that works well, one that needs improvement, and propose a concrete fix
