Find UI/UX Designers

About the profession

UI/UX designers are responsible for how a product behaves, not only how it looks: flows, states, empty screens, error handling and the component library the whole team builds from. The job sits between research and engineering, and most of it is decision-making that never shows up in a screenshot.

The strongest signal in a portfolio is reasoning — what the problem was, what was tried, what shipped, what changed afterwards. Ask for one case study end to end rather than a gallery of finished screens.

Skills to look for

• Figma, components and design systems
• Interaction and flow design
• Wireframing and prototyping
• User research and usability testing
• Information architecture
• Accessibility (WCAG) fundamentals
• Hand-off and collaboration with engineers
• Analytics-informed iteration

Common specialties

Design systems

Component libraries, tokens and documentation used across several products.

SaaS and dashboards

Dense, data-heavy interfaces where hierarchy and defaults decide usability.

Mobile app design

Native patterns, touch targets and platform conventions on iOS and Android.

UX research

Interviews, usability sessions and turning findings into design decisions.

E-commerce and conversion

Checkout, catalogue and funnel work measured against real numbers.

Experience and seniority

Junior designers work inside an existing system and handle defined screens. Mid-level designers own a feature including research and edge cases. Senior and lead designers shape the product direction, build the system others use and work directly with product and engineering leadership.

Remote, hybrid or on-site

Product design is one of the most remote-friendly professions on unigrig — most teams collaborate asynchronously in Figma. Hybrid is common where designers sit with a product squad for planning and testing sessions.

How unigrig matching works for this role

Tell unigrig what kind of product it is, whether research is part of the role, and whether you need someone to build a design system or work inside one. Matching uses the professional's own stated specialties and seniority, not just the words in their job title.
