Y ou are :

A talented and self-driven UX Engineer who’s passionate about how design comes to life but knows how leverage our mixed discipline by making designs accessible, performant, reusable, and ultimately scalable. You are a thoughtful and inclusive collaborator who is able to bring folks along in the pursuit of product excellence, and bridge and fill in gaps between design and engineering.

You are a systems thinker who can transform designs into intuitive, interactive experiences, able to rapidly learn new tools and technologies and not afraid to explore the unknown. You understand and value the design process and know how to merge that knowledge with established development processes. These processes may include building and maintaining tools and platforms to enable efficiencies across teams.

You are a proactive communicator who is able to collaborate well with other others, especially by leveraging their work, or contributing to the success of others. Striving to achieve a high bar for craft and quality, you are often seeking out feedback for ways to improve the product design process. You listen and care about customer needs and can integrate customer feedback in order to create inclusive and accessible experiences that people love.

We are looking for a candidate who can solve complex end-to-end problems – whether technically or across stakeholders – with solutions that seem simple and elegant on the surface but require a deep knowledge of engineering principles. You are able to identify needs that are not spoken, and include them in our processes.

Responsibilities:

Partner with our Design System team to help ensure design excellence in our process and workflows

Turn designs into accessible, performant, and shippable production code while partnering and iterating to make them delightful our users

Offer constructive feedback in the design and engineering process followed by creative and effective solutions

Communicate to stakeholders when technology constraints require design or engineering compromises

Follow best practices and provide code review feedback to your peers

Collaborate with others to bring ideas to life and create prototypes that convey experience intentions when static comps can’t tell the whole story

Communicate clearly and concisely with stakeholders

Partner and collaborate with our Fluent UI Design and Engineering counterparts
