Overview

The project is the development of a structured web-based platform "on a budget". We are seeking a (Jr./Sr.)
UI/UX Product Designer with Frontend Development capability
to support both the design and implementation of the user experience.

This is a project-based contractor engagement, focused initially on the design and delivery of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We prefer candidates who can support both
design and frontend execution
, and extend into a full product release.

This role will help shape how users interact with the platform — ensuring clarity, usability, and an intuitive experience — while also contributing to the
actual implementation of the interface
.

Nature of Engagement

• Contract / project-based (not full-time employment)
• Deliverable and milestone-driven
• Collaboration with the technical team
• Opportunity to contribute from early-stage design through to product release

Role Summary

The UI/UX + Frontend Hybrid will contribute to translating high-level concepts into:

• clear user flows
• structured wireframes
• intuitive interface designs
• implemented frontend components (where applicable)

You will work closely with the team to ensure the product is not only well-designed, but also effectively built and aligned with implementation realities.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and design user journeys and workflows across the platform
• Create wireframes, mockups, and interface designs for core features
• Translate designs into responsive frontend components (as needed)
• Structure multi-user experiences (e.g., dashboards, permissions)
• Ensure clarity and simplicity in complex workflows and data presentation
• Design and implement dashboard layouts and UI components
• Collaborate closely with developers to ensure feasibility and consistency
• Iterate designs and frontend based on feedback and evolving requirements
• Contribute to a cohesive and scalable design system

Core Areas of Focus

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate strength in:

- Designing structured platforms (not just static websites)
- Creating intuitive experiences for multi-user systems
- Simplifying complex data flows and interactions
- Designing and
building
forms, dashboards, and workflow-driven interfaces
- Bridging the gap between design and implementation
- Balancing usability with scalability (beyond MVP)
- Thinking through end-to-end user journeys

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Ability to significantly assist in saving costs (project on a budget)
• Experience designing web-based platforms or applications
• Working knowledge of modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React or similar)
• Ability to convert designs into functional UI
• Strong understanding of user behaviour and interaction design
• Comfortable working in early-stage or evolving environments
• Strong collaboration skills with technical teams
• Ability to prioritize and simplify without over-designing

What We Value

• Clarity over complexity
• Practical, usable design (not just aesthetics)
• Ability to think in systems and workflows
• Bias toward execution (design + build mindset)
• Honest assessment of strengths and limitations
• Team collaboration

Selection Process

Shortlisted candidates will participate in a structured evaluation process:

• Initial screening discussion
• Collaborative session with other candidates
• Potential design + frontend exercise or walkthrough
• Final selection based on overall alignment and contribution

Additional Notes

• All design, structure, architecture, and code will be original; company owns IP
• NDA and IP assignment required before full project details are shared
• This is NOT a salaried role — project-based with defined deliverables
• High salary expectations will not be considered
• Final candidates will complete a pilot test (tech challenge)
• Candidates may be part of a team-based delivery model
• Scope, deliverables, and compensation finalized with selected candidate(s)

Eligibility

Candidates must be Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents.
