Share delivers IT support on federal systems. You'll have the opportunity to make a difference in a mission-driven, small-business environment that values professional growth and work/life balance.

You're a thoughtful UX designer who enjoys turning real user needs into clear, usable digital experiences. You take pride in thoughtful design decisions, strong visual and interaction details, and work that gives product and development teams a clear path forward. You're comfortable working through ambiguity, partnering closely with product managers and developers, and staying involved from early design through implementation. You value research and feedback as inputs to better design, and you're motivated to keep learning and growing toward senior-level design work.

You:

• Care about solving real user problems and improving experiences incrementally.
• Enjoy translating complex workflows into clear, intuitive user experiences.
• Welcome feedback and use it as information that can improve your work.
• Make decisions thoughtfully and adjust your approach when research or evidence challenges an assumption.
• Care about accessibility, usability, and consistency as part of good design.
• Take ownership of your work while collaborating closely with product, development, UX writing, and QE partners.

As a UX Designer, you'll play a key role in shaping the user experience of Career Safe products by connecting user needs, product goals, and design intent before and during development. You'll create the flows, specifications, prototypes, and design guidance that help cross-functional teams make clear decisions and bring thoughtful experiences to life.

In this role, you will:

• Design UX direction for assigned product features by connecting user needs, product goals, scope, flow, and usability before development begins.
• Create wireframes, mockups, user flows, prototypes, and detailed design specifications in Figma that clearly communicate intended interactions, interface states, accessibility considerations, and implementation requirements.
• Use reusable components, design systems, and established UX standards to create consistent and maintainable product experiences.
• Identify when research or usability testing is needed, conduct scoped research or testing, and translate findings and user feedback into actionable design recommendations.
• Partner closely with product managers and owners, developers, UX writers, and QE to work through questions, tradeoffs, feasibility considerations, and usability issues.
• Stay engaged through implementation by answering UX questions, participating in design and review discussions, updating designs when needed, and helping preserve approved UX intent through the finished product.
• Identify inconsistencies in UX patterns and documentation, propose corrections, and help keep approved standards clear and usable across design and frontend documentation.
