Role Context

We are looking for a product-focused web designer to join the IT department team — someone who understands development, knows how to work with design systems, prototypes, and interface animations, and will be a full-fledged part of the IT team rather than marketing.

The main responsibility is designing product interfaces in close collaboration with developers, with a focus on usability, scalability, and straightforward implementation. Readiness to quickly make changes to layouts is required.

Role Responsibilities

• Design product interfaces (web application, mobile application, CRM).
• Propose improvements to existing design solutions.
• System design: develop, implement, and maintain a design system (UI Kit) in Figma, including components, tokens (colours, typography, spacing, shadows), and clear rules for their usage.
• Keeping designs up to date: continuously synchronise Figma designs with the implemented product functionality. The designer is responsible for ensuring developers always work with up-to-date and detailed layouts.
• Dark/light theme: design and implement full support for both themes at the design system level.
• Create interfaces that are user-friendly, clear, and scalable.
• Design intuitive interfaces for complex functional product blocks, considering all element states (including errors, loading states, and empty states).
• Technical feasibility: create animations and micro-interactions that improve UX without complicating development. Willingness to discuss and simplify solutions based on technical constraints.

Requirements and Responsibilities1. Product Design:

• Experience with product UI (including mobile applications).
• Experience designing interfaces for web applications or SaaS products.
• Ability to design complex interfaces considering all component states.
• Development of user flows and edge cases.
• Focus on usability and clarity without excessive visual effects.

2. Collaboration with Developers:

• Constant interaction with the development team.
• Discussion of solutions before development starts and during implementation.
• Ability to:
  • explain design decisions;
  • accept technical constraints;
  • adapt design solutions to technical limitations.
• Ability to prepare designs for development handoff:
  • well-thought-out user flows,
  • specifications,
  • exportable assets,
  • multiple element states.
• Understanding of basic frontend development principles:
  • HTML / CSS;
  • browser and CSS limitations.
• Ability to estimate the implementation complexity of solutions.
• Knowledge of browser limitations.

Strong plus: deep understanding of frontend development principles. Knowledge of Flexbox/Grid, DOM, CSS limitations, and the ability to assess the complexity of implementing specific animations.

3. Design System:

• Experience creating and maintaining a design system:
  • components;
  • tokens (colours, typography, spacing);
  • states (hover / active/disabled / loading).
• Experience with a component-based approach.
• Understanding how a design system speeds up development and ensures consistency.
• Hands-on experience creating or significantly updating a design system in Figma (Auto Layout, Variants, Component Properties, Tokens).
• Confident use of Figma:
  • components;
  • variants;
  • auto layout;
  • component properties.
• Clean and well-structured layouts.
• Responsiveness:
  • desktop;
  • mobile;
  • responsive layouts;
  • Understanding of breakpoints and interface behaviour across different screen sizes.

4. Animations and Interaction:

• Design of simple and clear animations:
  • transitions;
  • Lottie animations;
  • micro-interactions.
• Understanding of UI animation basics:
  • timing,
  • easing,
  • Material Motion principles or equivalents.
• Animations should be:
  • useful;
  • lightweight;
  • realistically implementable.
• Ability to create functional prototypes (in Figma, ProtoPie, Framer) to demonstrate transition logic and micro-interactions.

5. Dark / Light Theme:

• Designing interfaces with dark and light theme support.
• Theme handling at the design system level rather than on individual screens.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with layout (HTML/CSS).
• Technical background or experience working closely with development.
• Experience working in a product environment:
  • Jira / YouTrack;
  • Slack.

Important: a full-time frontend developer is not required, but layout experience significantly simplifies communication.
