UI/UX Interaction Designer

Responsibilities:

  • The ideal candidate will bring static designs to life through thoughtful microinteractions, seamless transitions, and dynamic prototypes that enhance usability and brand expression.
  • You will partner closely with product, engineering, and brand teams to create interaction patterns, prototype user flows, and design motion that improves both experience and functionality.
  • While a strong visual and motion sense is valued, this role primarily focuses on how users move, interact, and feel across our digital products.
  • If you thrive in fast paced environments designing elegant human-computer interactions, enjoy sweating the details of motion in service of UX, and are excited to prototype the future of modern interfaces, we'd love to meet you.
  • Design microinteractions, UI transitions, page flows, and feedback states that enhance usability.
  • Build high-fidelity interactive prototypes using tools like Figma, Principle, ProtoPie, or similar.
  • Translate wireframes and static screens into dynamic, animated interaction experiences.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, UI/UX designers, engineers, and brand teams.
  • Apply motion thoughtfully to guide user attention, reinforce action feedback, and build emotional connection.
  • Define and document interactive patterns and behaviors for design systems and developer handoff.
  • Push creative boundaries while staying aligned with our evolving brand identity and design standards.
  • Create motion studies and prototypes to validate interaction concepts.
  • Stay current on UX design patterns, microinteraction trends, and emerging prototyping tools.

Skills:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in UI/UX design with a focus on interaction and motion.
  • Deep understanding of UX principles, usability heuristics, and user-centered interaction design.
  • Proficiency in prototyping tools (Figma, Framer, Principle, ProtoPie, or similar).
  • Experience creating high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that demonstrate behavior, not just visuals.
  • Strong grasp of motion design principles as they apply to user experience (ease, timing, feedback).
  • Strong visual design skills: layout, typography, color theory, component design.
  • Experience working in agile or cross-disciplinary product teams.
  • Ability to clearly articulate interaction rationale to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfortable preparing prototypes for handoff to developers and guiding implementation quality.
  • Familiarity with Lottie/Bodymovin for lightweight UI animation.
  • Experience with accessibility best practices for animations and interactions.

Benefits:

  • 💼 Medical insurance
