Job Description Banyan Software provides the best permanent home for successful enterprise software companies, their employees, and customers. We are on a mission to acquire, build and grow great enterprise software businesses all over the world that have dominant positions in niche vertical markets. In recent years, Banyan was named the #1 fastest-growing private software company in the US on the Inc. 5000 and amongst the top 10 fastest-growing companies by the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. Founded in 2016 with a permanent capital base setup to preserve the legacy of founders, Banyan focuses on a buy and hold for life strategy for growing software companies that serve specialized vertical markets. About The Role We are seeking a UI Developer with a unique blend of design intuition, technical adaptability, and modernization mindset. This role is not about designing pixel-perfect greenfield experiences it's about redesigning legacy interfaces into modern, intuitive user experiences that bridge the gap between outdated systems and AI-augmented design workflows. You will play a key role in reimagining existing web applications, leveraging AI tools (like Figma AI and DALLE) for rapid concepting and iteration. You'll partner closely with an elite team of developers to create transitional UIs that improve usability and aesthetics while accommodating system constraints. Key Responsibilities - Redesign outdated legacy system interfaces with modern usability and accessibility principles while respecting architectural and technical constraints. - Use AI-assisted tools (Figma AI, DALLE, Midjourney, etc.) for rapid prototyping, wireframing, and visual exploration. - Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure visual consistency and technical feasibility within existing codebases and frameworks. - Develop responsive and scalable design systems to accelerate modernization initiatives. - Create transitional UX flows that support incremental modernization rather than complete rebuilds. - Participate in rapid iteration cycles, incorporating user and stakeholder feedback in real time. - Maintain strong alignment with business, product, and technology teams to ensure that modernization efforts meet both functional and visual goals. Who You Are - A problem-solver who thrives within constraints and enjoys rethinking the user experience of complex, legacy systems. - Fluent in modern design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch) and familiar with AI-assisted design workflows. - Experienced in designing responsive, accessible web applications for enterprise or SaaS platforms. - Comfortable collaborating with developers and understanding technical realities of front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or similar). - Passionate about AI-driven design acceleration, continuous learning, and exploring emerging tools. - Pragmatic focused on delivering value quickly and iteratively, rather than perfection. Qualifications - 58 years of experience in UI or UX design, preferably in modernization or transformation environments. - Strong portfolio demonstrating before-and-after modernization projects or redesigns of legacy systems. - Experience working with AI design tools (Figma AI, DALLE, ChatGPT, or similar). - Understanding of responsive design principles, accessibility, and usability testing. - Excellent communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional teams.
