About the Role
We are looking for a highly motivated Junior UI/UX Designer to assist our Senior Product Designer in shaping intuitive, user-centric interfaces for complex logistics, tracking, and operational platforms. You will play a crucial role in translating complex data such as journey tracking, operational reports, and AI-driven assistant modules into clean, scalable, and highly functional user interfaces.
You will work directly alongside senior design and frontend engineering leadership, gaining hands-on experience in bridging the gap between high-fidelity mockups and production-ready code.
Key Responsibilities
- Design Support: Assist the Senior Product Designer in creating wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes for web applications and operational dashboards.
- System Consistency: Help maintain and expand our design system, ensuring visual consistency across various application modules (e.g., summary views, tracking dashboards, and settings modules).
- Component Design: Design modular UI components that align with modern frontend frameworks (such as Vue.js, Vuetify and pure CSS).
- Prototyping New Features: Support the design phase of new initiatives, including AI drawer assistants, proactive reporting interfaces, and journey visualization tools.
- Developer Handoff: Prepare design assets, specs, and documentation to ensure seamless handoffs to the frontend engineering team.
- Collaboration: Participate in brainstorming sessions, design reviews, and strategic UX integration planning.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 1–2 years of experience in UI/UX design (or a strong portfolio of academic/personal projects demonstrating complex problem-solving).
- Design Tools: High proficiency in industry-standard design tools (Figma and Adobe XD is essential).
- UX Fundamentals: Solid understanding of user-centered design principles, typography, color theory, and layout structures for enterprise or B2B platforms.
- Attention to Detail: A keen eye for pixel-perfect design and an understanding of how to structure data-heavy interfaces cleanly.
- Communication: Strong ability to communicate design rationale and actively incorporate feedback from senior team members.
Bonus Points (Nice to Have)
- Familiarity with frontend technologies (HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS, or Vue.js/Vuetify) to better understand developer constraints.
- Interest or experience in designing interfaces for AI tools and heavy operational UI.
- Experience with data visualization (e.g., charting and graph UI).
