You Are:

UST is searching for a contract UX/UI Designer to join our product team for a 1-year engagement. You’ll be designing experiences for data-intensive, B2B software products that support complex supply chain operations.

The opportunity:

• Own end-to-end UX/UI design for supply chain software products — from initial concept and user flows through to high-fidelity Figma deliverables ready for handoff or user testing.

• Work in rapid, iterative design cycles — delivering polished design output within 3–4 week sprints and incorporating feedback continuously.

• Learn to leverage AI-assisted tools (e.g. Claude Code) to rapidly prototype and build near-production quality applications — embracing this as part of a modern, evolving design workflow.

• Transform dense, complex operational and analytical data into meaningful, user-friendly data visualizations and interface patterns.

• Work closely with a senior designer to understand design requirements and translate them into well-crafted, user-centered design decisions, receiving guidance and mentorship throughout the process — while engaging with a broader cross-functional team of PMs and engineers.

• Apply UX research and design methodologies — including usability testing, user interviews, iterative prototyping, and information architecture — throughout the product lifecycle.

This position description identifies the responsibilities and tasks typically associated with the performance of the position. Other relevant essential functions may be required.

What you need:

• 2+ years of professional UX/UI design experience; Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience. Portfolio submission is required to be considered.

• Ability to produce and deliver rigorous, well-crafted design work under tight timelines. Their process spans user-centered design, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, and iterative prototyping, and their portfolio clearly demonstrates how design thinking drove real product outcomes.

• Demonstrated ability to design data visualizations that make complex operational data clear and actionable for business users.

• Proficiency in Figma for design, prototyping, and component library management.

• Willingness and demonstrated aptitude to learn and explore AI-assisted development tools as part of an evolving design workflow.

• Ability to quickly absorb design requirements and context provided by a senior designer, and proactively drive them forward with a strong sense of ownership, attention to detail, and design quality.

• Collaborative, flexible, and self-directed — able to work across multiple projects simultaneously and adapt quickly to new product contexts.

• NICE TO HAVE:

• These are growth areas and opportunities within the role — not barriers to applying.

• Prior hands-on experience with Claude Code or equivalent AI-assisted vibe-coding tools.

• Working knowledge of HTML and CSS for tighter design-to-code fidelity and direct frontend contributions, and familiarity with an IDE such as VS Code.

• Familiarity with basic Git commands and Bitbucket for version control and code-based deliverable submission.

• Prior experience in supply chain, logistics, semiconductor manufacturing, or enterprise operations software.
