Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a UX/UI Designer to create intuitive, visually polished, and high-performing digital experiences across web and mobile products.
This is more than a visual design role. You’ll own the design process from user research and UX strategy through wireframing, prototyping, high-fidelity UI design, design systems, and developer handoff.
You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, QA, and leadership to understand user problems and translate them into digital experiences that are easy to use, scalable, accessible, and aligned with business objectives.
If you combine strong UX thinking with polished UI execution and enjoy solving real product problems through design, this role is a strong fit.

What Makes You a Strong Fit
You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:
- Think about user journeys and product problems, not just individual screens
- Combine strong visual design skills with practical UX thinking
- Can clearly explain the reasoning behind your design decisions
- Are comfortable using research and data to challenge assumptions
- Understand how UX impacts adoption, engagement, conversion, and satisfaction
- Collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Care about consistency, accessibility, and the small details that make products feel polished
- Can iterate quickly without sacrificing design quality
- Understand how designs translate into real products during development
- Take ownership from initial research through final implementation
What a Typical Day Looks Like
Your day may begin by reviewing user behavior, product feedback, or upcoming feature requirements to identify UX opportunities and potential friction.
Throughout the day, you could create user flows and wireframes, build and test interactive prototypes, design polished interfaces in Figma, or refine the product’s design system.
You’ll collaborate closely with Product and Engineering during sprint execution, incorporate feedback from usability testing and QA, and prepare developer-ready designs with clear specifications and interaction details.
You’ll also review implemented features to ensure the final experience maintains the intended design quality and consistency.
In short: you turn user needs and business requirements into intuitive, scalable, accessible, and visually polished digital products.
Key Metrics for Success
- Improved product usability and user satisfaction
- Increased engagement and product adoption
