Experience Design Technologist, Senior Associate

Contribute to innovative experience design blending user needs with business goals in the dynamic environment of financial services.

As an Experience Design Technologist Senior Associate inthe Card Platforms Teamyou will play a pivotal role in shaping the user experience of our products and services by leveraging your advanced knowledge of experience design principles. Collaborating with cross-functional teams create innovative inclusive and accessible solutions that cater to a diverse range of users. As a core contributor align user needs with business goals. Your strong understanding of the financial services industry will contribute to the continuous improvement of our offerings navigating complex problems and driving strategic thinking. Your impact will be significant in the design architecture and functionality of our products ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for our customers.

You will 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.

Job responsibilities

• Design and develop elegant solutions to specific interaction problems and ensure consistency across multiple products and platforms while adhering to industry best practices
• Apply advanced knowledge of information architecture and storyboarding to create user-centric designs that enhance navigation findability and overall user satisfaction
• Conduct data-driven analyses to inform design decisions and use data to transform raw information into valuable insights to inform decision-making
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to incorporate inclusive design principles and accessibility guidelines to ensure our products and services cater to a diverse range of users
• Operate with an iterative design mindset and incorporate user feedback and insights to continuously improve the overall user experience of our offerings
• Assist in the analysis of market trends user research studies and user behavior analyses to inform design decisions and contribute to the teams strategic thinking
• 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 Co-Pilot 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 user experience design or equivalent role dedicated to improving experiences with digital products and services
• Proven ability to create visually appealing and functional designs using industry-standard tools (e.g. Figma Co-Pilot or Adobe Creative Suite)
• Demonstrated experience in designing and optimizing user experiences across multiple platforms including web mobile and other digital channels
• Previous experience interpreting complex data and transforming it into actionable insights for informed decision-making
• Proficient understanding of inclusive design principles accessibility guidelines and assistive technologies with a history of creating accessible and inclusive digital experiences
• Experience 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 capabilities and skills

• 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).
