About the Role
OptiSigns is seeking a Jr. UI Engineer to own the entire front-end experience, from design to production code. This role is for an engineer passionate about details in typography and motion, thriving in a collaborative codebase.
Key Responsibilities
- 40% Design UIs in Figma: information architecture, low- to hi-fi mock-ups, interactive prototypes, component libraries, accessibility states, and responsive breakpoints.
- 40% Build Designs: using modern HTML, semantic CSS/SCSS (or Tailwind), TypeScript, and React (Next.js) or Angular. Maintain a clean, reusable component system.
- 10% User-test & Iterate: run quick usability tests, interpret analytics/heatmaps, and implement improvements.
- 10% Collaborate & Ship: work with product managers, full-stack/backend engineers, and QA to deliver features end-to-end, review PRs, and improve DX tooling (e.g., Storybook, ESLint, Husky).
Requirements & Tech Stack
- 0–3 years building customer-facing web apps (portfolio or live products required).
- Mastery of Figma (auto-layout, variants, design tokens, FigJam).
- Production experience with React or Angular, modern TypeScript, and component architectures.
- Deep understanding of HTML semantics, CSS layouts (Flexbox / Grid), responsive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.2), and performance optimizations.
- Familiarity with design systems (e.g., Material, Ant, Radix), animation libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP), and testing (e.g., Jest, Testing Library, Cypress).
- Comfort working in an Agile, CI/CD environment (e.g., GitLab CI/CD, Vercel/AWS).
- A user-centric mindset—ability to translate business goals into intuitive flows and elegant interactions.
- Excellent written & verbal communication.
Bonus Points
- Experience with data-heavy dashboards or B2B SaaS UX.
- Knowledge of Node.js.
- Illustration/icon skills, motion graphics, or brand design chops.
