UI Designer
Catalyst designs, builds and hosts powerful document repositories for large-scale discovery and regulatory compliance. We back our technology with a highly skilled Professional Services team and a global partner network to ensure the best e-discovery experience possible.
As a UI Designer at Catalyst, you will work within a product team to help understand and document product and user needs, create elegant and functional interface designs, and assist in shepherding those designs through the software development life-cycle.
This role is not well suited for candidates whose digital design experience is mostly comprised of marketing/promotion related design projects (e.g. websites and digital web assets). You should feel comfortable getting deep in the weeds of web application design.
Responsibilities:
- Work with the product and development teams to understand and refine goals and constraints for projects.
- Create design concepts (wireframes, mockups and basic prototypes) to share your ideas.
- Present your work to team members, users/customers and stakeholders for review and feedback. Feedback is a gift, you proactively seek it out, and give it thoughtfully.
- Collaborate with the product and development teams to review, build and iterate product features in an agile environment.
Required Skills:
- Portfolio demonstrating proficiency in visual design, color, and typography skills, as well as your understanding of the capabilities and limitations of designing for the web.
- Experience working in a collaborative team, and interacting directly with others (users/customers, development, marketing, copywriting) to implement designs.
- Systematic thinking is critical as you will be working constantly to improve the overall functional consistency and visual design of an application that is over 7 years old.
- Tooling - Proficiency using Sketch/Invision to create, manage and share your work.
- Bonus points for HTML/CSS/JS experience and/or experience in UX disciplines (research, psychology, interaction, evaluation).
Required Education/Experience:
- 3+ years of professional UI design experience with a focus in web-based applications (mobile experience not required)
- Bachelor’s degree in visual communication, graphic design or related field is strongly preferred
- Must be able to pass a criminal background check
