Senior UI​/UX Designer

About Ruxlo

Real Estate is the largest asset class in the United States — over $85 trillion in total value, with more than $2 trillion changing hands every year and roughly $100 billion paid in commissions to 1.5 million licensed agents across 100,000+ brokerage firms — and yet it remains one of the least modernized. We're building the property data, analysis, and deal‑flow platform for the people who move fastest in this market: investors, who face transaction friction weekly rather than once a decade.

Our platform spans 175 million properties across every asset class, and we're rebuilding a brokerage model that hasn't fundamentally changed in half a century.

As a Senior UI/UX Designer, you own the craft of Ruxlo’s product experience across mobile and web. You take PRDs and turn them into interfaces investors trust with real money — whether they're running comps on a phone in the field or building a full deal model on desktop. You lead end-to-end design for complex, data-dense workflows, contribute to and help maintain our cross-platform design system, run the usability research that validates our assumptions, and partner closely with Product and Engineering inside our SDLC.

This is a senior individual-contributor role reporting to the Head of Product. You won't have direct reports, but you'll set the standard for design craft, mentor other designers, and be the person the team looks to when a workflow has to be right. It's a hands‑on seat — you'll live in the pixels while owning the thinking behind them.

• Own product design across mobile and web. Lead the end-to-end user experience on both platforms — information architecture, interaction design, and visual design for complex, data-dense workflows (property search, deal analysis, comps, financial modeling) that must work as well on a phone in the field as on a desktop at the office. Decide what's mobile-first vs. desktop-first per workflow and own responsive and native interaction patterns.
• Turn ideas into elegant, feasible designs. Translate user needs and business goals into intuitive, user-friendly solutions. Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs in Claude Design and illustrate design thinking with storyboards, process flows, and sitemaps. Work closely with front-end engineers to ensure designs are implemented as intended and are technically feasible.
• Contribute to the cross-platform design system. Help build and maintain a single source of truth in Claude Design — tokens, components, states, and usage documentation — that scales cleanly across mobile and web breakpoints, so engineering ships consistent, accessible UI without re-litigating patterns every sprint. Enforce WCAG 2.1 AA as a baseline (including mobile touch targets and gestures), not an afterthought.
• Partner on the PRD and support the SDLC design stage. Contribute to the PRD process using the Ruxlo SDLC Playbook; produce the flows, wireframes, and high‑fidelity designs — for both mobile and web — that make acceptance criteria unambiguous; participate in design reviews during Pass 1 Refinement; and generate developer handoff specs (including responsive behavior and platform‑specific states) so engineering owns the how without guessing the what.
• Run usability research. Personally run usability tests and design‑validation interviews with real estate investors, lenders, and agents on a recurring cadence, across both mobile and desktop contexts. Build personas, user journeys, and workflows; analyze feedback, session recordings, and usage data; and synthesize what you observe into design decisions that actually change the product.
• Measure and act on design quality. Track UX signals — task completion, time‑to‑insight, funnel drop‑off, feature adoption — segmented by platform using Mixpanel alongside qualitative findings and use them to prioritize design debt and interface improvements on mobile and web.
• Use AI to raise your velocity and quality. Leverage Claude across your workflow — stress‑testing flows for edge cases, breakpoints, and accessibility gaps before code is written; drafting component documentation; synthesizing usability notes; and…
