• Solid understanding of UX principles, visual design, and accessibility standards (WCAG).
• Experience collaborating closely with designers and developers to translate design prototypes (e.g., from Figma or Sketch) into high-quality, production-ready code.
• Familiarity with design systems, component libraries, and token-based design approaches.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail in implementing pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between design and engineering teams.
• 3–5 years of experience in front-end or UX engineering roles, ideally within product-based or design-focused environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
