About the role

WHAT A DESIGNER IS AT AUTHORIUM You take an idea from a rough concept to a polished, production interface running in front of real government users, and you work highly independently through that process with a clear feedback loop.
You'll lean heavily on AI-native tooling to compress that loop.
The candidates we're most excited about treat AI as a force multiplier on craft, not a replacement for it.

Design and build, end to end
Take features from concept through interaction design, prototyping, and have a desire to front-end implementation.
Build and maintain real interfaces in our codebase (Hotwire / Next.js), partnering with Engineering on architecture, state, and performance.
Use Claude Design and other AI tooling to move fast: rapid prototypes, multiple directions, working components and bring strong judgment about which output is actually good.
Improve UX across the platform from intake, approvals, document generation, evaluations, configuration, and reporting including fixing inconsistencies and usability gaps as you go.
Contribute to the design system: components, patterns, and libraries that keep the product coherent and speed up everyone's delivery. You'll both use it and extend it in code.
Review your work against design intent through delivery and hold the bar on fidelity and polish.
manage your work in Jira and participate in planning and grooming.
Work in sprints; manage your work in Jira and participate in planning and grooming.
Partner with PMs to frame problems and make scope tradeoffs, and with Engineering on feasibility and front-end quality.

Proficiency in Figma (components, libraries, auto-layout, prototyping).
Clear communication as you can explain a decision in terms of user outcomes and tradeoffs, not just aesthetics.
You take an idea from a rough concept to a polished, production interface running in front of real government users, and you work highly independently through that process with a clear feedback loop.

Experience with dense, workflow-driven enterprise / B2B products.
Exposure to government, public sector, or other regulated/compliance-driven environments.
Experience with product analytics tools (Pendo, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar).
Experience integrating AI features into a product UI.

Design and build for accessibility and compliance from the start (WCAG 2.1 AA) - our government customers require it.
Our users manage procurement solicitations, evaluation scoring, contract documents, and compliance reporting and often for the first time on a digital platform.
