About the Role
We are looking for a Senior UX Designer to join a cross-functional team responsible for Helix, our design system, and the user experience across three SaaS products: Amino, Sonar, and Proline.
This role covers the full range of UX practice. You will take on product design work alongside the team and bring a specialized focus on accessibility, ensuring that Helix components are designed to be accessible from the start and that existing product surfaces meet a real accessibility standard.
Accessibility is your area of depth, not your only responsibility.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Product Design
· Own UX design work across Amino, Sonar, and Proline: flows, wireframes, interaction specs, and design reviews
· Collaborate with product managers and engineers to define and validate interaction decisions
· Participate in design critiques and contribute to design quality across the team
· Plan and support usability testing, prototype validation, and design feedback sessions to identify friction, validate assumptions, and improve product decisions
Accessibility
· Design Helix components with accessibility built in: focus management, color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader semantics, and motion sensitivity
· Conduct accessibility audits on existing product surfaces and deliver actionable remediation roadmaps
· Define and maintain accessibility guidelines within design system documentation
· Partner with UX developers and frontend engineers to verify that implementation matches accessible design intent
· Educate and advocate across the team for accessible design practices
What We’re Looking For
Required
· 4+ years of UX design experience with a strong generalist foundation; you can own a feature end to end
· Deep working knowledge of WCAG 2.1/2.2 at AA and AAA levels
· Experience designing within or contributing to a design system
· Familiarity with assistive technologies from a design validation perspective: screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control
· Ability to conduct structured accessibility audits and communicate findings to both design and engineering audiences
· Proficiency in Figma
· Strong written and verbal communication in English
Preferred
· Familiarity with ARIA patterns and how they shape design decisions
· Experience with accessibility testing tools such as Axe, Lighthouse, NVDA, or VoiceOver
· Understanding of how Angular or component-based frameworks implement accessible UI
· Experience in SaaS or enterprise software environments
· Exposure to color systems and design token structures
Differentiators
· Formal accessibility certification, such as CPACC, WAS, or equivalent, will be weighted in the evaluation process
· Experience establishing accessibility standards at the organization level, not just within individual projects
· Track record of auditing and remediating existing products, not only designing greenfield experiences
Skills
· Critical thinking skills, with the ability to challenge assumptions and evaluate trade-offs across user needs, business goals, and technical constraints
· Deep empathy for users, with the ability to understand their context, constraints, frustrations, and goals before jumping into solutions
· Comfort navigating ambiguity.
