Product Designer - UX/UI & Design Systems

About the Role

The role involves a deep understanding of user journeys, flows, and systems, rather than just focusing on screen design. This approach requires a holistic view of how users interact with digital products, from initial engagement to long-term retention. By considering the entire user experience ecosystem, you will be able to identify friction points, recommend UX improvements, and implement design solutions that enhance usability, engagement, and customer satisfaction.

Pavago's commitment to innovation and user experience makes it an exciting time to join the team. With a focus on collaboration and growth, the company provides an environment where designers can thrive, learn from each other, and contribute to the development of scalable design systems.

• Translate insights into personas, journey maps, workflows, and user flows that guide product development.
• Identify friction points and recommend UX improvements to enhance user experience.
• Design wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity user interfaces that are responsive and aligned with modern SaaS standards.
• Build and maintain scalable design systems and component libraries to ensure consistency across all product surfaces and features.
• Ensure accessibility and usability across devices, browsers, and screen sizes, aligning with WCAG 2.1 standards.
• Run A/B tests on layouts, user flows, and interaction patterns to optimize user experience.
• Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers throughout the product lifecycle to deliver developer-ready assets and provide clear interaction specs.
• Maintain and expand design systems to support the growth of Pavago's digital products.

• Ability to work collaboratively in a remote environment, with excellent communication and project management skills.
• Experience with front-end development technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) is a plus, although not required.
• Familiarity with product analytics tools such as Mixpanel and Amplitude is beneficial for data-driven design decisions.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing SaaS products, consumer applications, or enterprise software, with a focus on user experience and scalability.
