UI UX Designer

Location: Remote (USA or Canada-based)

Type: Full-time

Responsibilities

• Designers who don't just sketch ideas — they bring them to life in React, JSX, and advanced CSS
• This role sits at the intersection of creativity and code
• It's for someone with genuine taste — someone who knows when a design feels elegant, when typography sings, when a layout breathes
• Every interaction you refine, every system you build, every component you document in Storybook will ripple across a massive audience
• Creative + Technical: This isn't "make a slide deck and hope Engineering builds it." You'll design and code, seeing your ideas through to production
• System Builder: You'll create design systems, UI libraries, and patterns that last — helping everyone move faster with consistency and taste
• Iterative, Real-World Design: You'll collaborate tightly with PMs and Engineers, test in production, gather feedback, and refine quickly
• Interaction Design: Craft elegant, intuitive flows that make complex workflows feel simple
• User Journey Mapping: Translate personas and use cases into frictionless product experiences
• End-to-End Design: Take concepts from Figma to production-ready React code
• Prototyping & Testing: Build wireframes, prototypes, and run usability tests to validate and refine ideas
• UI Components: Create menus, tabs, tables, and widgets that are reusable, consistent, and scalable
• Frontend Implementation: Write JSX and advanced CSS in our React codebase — not just hand off
• Design Systems: Document and maintain UI in Storybook.js so that our components scale across teams and features

Application

At Files.com, design is judged in the details — and that starts with your application. We don't just want to hear that you have great taste, we want to see it.

That means a portfolio that shows your eye for visual polish, your ability to design at system-level scale, and your capacity to make complex workflows feel simple. It also means a resume that reflects the same principles you'd bring to our product: clarity, hierarchy, and elegance.

We're not looking for clutter, gimmicks, or filler. We're looking for proof — that you know how to communicate ideas visually, that you can demonstrate the thinking behind your choices, and that you can make even a resume feel like great design.

If your resume and portfolio make us stop, look twice, and think "this person has taste," then you're already halfway there.
