Upwork is a global digital work platform that connects businesses with independent talent across diverse fields such as software development, design, marketing, and finance. Created through the 2013 merger of Elance and oDesk, the public American company provides tools for contracting, collaboration, time tracking, and cross-border payments. Headquartered in San Francisco, it serves clients ranging from startups and small businesses to global enterprises seeking flexible remote workforce solutions.

We are seeking an experienced UX/UI Designer to support a career-site platform that enables organizations to create custom-branded experiences, showcase employer brands, and highlight job opportunities across parent, subsidiary, or affiliated brands.

This contractor will execute product design work across a defined capability backlog, beginning with chatbot functionality. The role will focus on creating reusable components for a modular design system while accounting for the technical constraints of a content management system.

The ideal candidate is a strong UX and interaction designer who can independently translate broad or ambiguous requirements into accessible, responsive, production-ready web experiences.

Key Responsibilities

* Execute UX/UI design work across a career-site product backlog in partnership with Product and other cross-functional stakeholders.

* Design the initial chatbot experience and contribute to additional priorities following onboarding.

* Support platform-wide theming, branding, accessibility, and SEO considerations.

* Create interaction flows, prototypes, component states, and detailed designs in Figma.

* Maintain consistency across component libraries while accommodating different client brands and use cases.

* Independently prioritize work, resolve ambiguity, and maintain design throughput for time-sensitive client opportunities.

* Collaborate with Product and technical stakeholders to ensure that proposed designs are feasible and ready for production implementation.

Must-Have Skills

* Four or more years of product design or UX design experience.

* Strong UX and interaction-design capabilities, rather than primarily visual, graphic, or brand design experience.

* At least two years of experience working within or creating a design system or component library.

* Experience designing reusable components for modular or component-based design systems.

* Experience with responsive and mobile-first web design.

* Experience shipping responsive marketing pages, product pages, or comparable web experiences into production.

* Working knowledge of WCAG and ADA accessibility standards.

* Experience applying accessibility principles to web experiences, interaction states, or reusable components.

* Experience designing within the technical constraints of a CMS.

* Understanding of how CMS content structures, authoring requirements, and platform constraints affect component design.

* Advanced proficiency with Figma, including component libraries, variants, and Auto Layout.

* Professional experience using Claude.

* Professional experience using Claude Code.

* Ability to work independently and prioritize effectively within a broad or ambiguous scope.

Nice-to-Have Skills

* Experience using additional AI-assisted design or development tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, or Figma AI.

* Marketing, landing-page, or campaign-page design experience.

* B2B or enterprise SaaS experience.

* Enterprise experience strongly preferred.

* SEO-aware web design experience.

* Chatbot or conversational UX design experience.

* Experience with recruiting technology, HR technology, career sites, or comparable sales-enablement client sites.

* Ecommerce design experience.

Required Tools & Platforms

* Open to candidates located in the United States or LATAM.
