UI Design Engineer

We are looking for a detail-oriented UI Design Engineer to join our Professional Services team with strong logical and analytical thinking. As a UI Design Engineer, you will be responsible for creating and applying Figma-based UI kits to wireframes, ensuring a seamless transition from design to development. You will leverage your expertise in TypeScript, JavaScript, or any other scripting language to build custom Figma plugins that will automate repetitive design tasks, such as layout adjustments, component application, and design consistency checks. This automation will not only improve efficiency but also enhance the overall quality and consistency of our design deliverables.

Responsibilities

• Apply and maintain design systems/UI kits across wireframes to ensure consistent, high-quality visuals and ensure their proper implementation in PS-driven projects.
• Build and maintain custom Figma plugins using TypeScript, JavaScript, or any other scripting language to automate repetitive design tasks, improve efficiency, and enforce design standards.
• Configure and optimise design elements, templates, and components within Figma or other design platforms.
• Apply accessibility and usability principles to visual and UI design.
• Collaborate with design and engineering teams to align design and development efforts.
  

Requirements

• Proficiency in Figma and plugin development.
• 1-4 years of experience.
• Good understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript/Python or any other scripting language.
• Solid understanding of UI design principles, including understanding of design systems and UI patterns, and how to translate wireframes into UI-aligned, high-fidelity mockups.
• Strong analytical, logical thinking and problem-solving skills, and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
• Understanding of design tokens, variables, and reusable components in UI systems.
• Familiarity with HTML, CSS, and front-end frameworks is a plus.
