UX Creative Technologist, Senior Associate

As a UX Creative Technologist Senior Associate you will support the Commercial & Investment Bank (CIB) Payments team in delivering enterprise payments solutions. You serve as the bridge between high-level experience concepts and production-ready user interfaces translating design intent into code-ready logic design tokens and component architecture. You dont just hand off static framesyou help define how the application behaves in real-world conditions across states data scenarios and interactions ensuring the user experience is preserved from concept through implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and refine complex UI components with a strong understanding of component references; define and document component props states variants and technical constraints to support scalable implementation.
• Define component and interface behavior beyond visual design including responses to data changes error states edge cases and user interactions; partner with engineering to ensure interaction logic is implementable and consistent.
• Use AI-assisted development tooling (e.g. VS Studio with Claude Code) to create live-code prototypes that serve as a source of truth for engineering (real-time data handling UI state transitions complex interaction patterns).
• Review production builds to validate alignment with intended UI architecture and interaction design; act as a quality gate for the functional craft of the product experience (behavior responsiveness component correctness usability fidelity).

Required Qualifications Capabilities and Skills

• 3 years in a hybrid design/engineering role; comfortable working in both a code editor and design tools translating between disciplines.
• Expert understanding of UI component references including nesting inheritance composition and how components scale across platforms.
• Experience implementing or managing design tokens using JSON CSS variables and/or tooling such as Style Dictionary to maintain cross-platform consistency.
• Strong proficiency with HTML5 CSS/SCSS (Flexbox Grid) and JavaScript; ability to build the UI view layer to a high standard (backend development not required).
• Demonstrated ability to decompose complex workflows (e.g. payment ledger experiences) into repeatable UI patterns and logical component systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Git/GitHub to manage design-led code contributions and collaborate with engineering workflows.
• Mentorship experience with an emphasis on helping others develop systemic UI thinking (patterns architecture scalable interaction logic).
