    Role Overview

    We are seeking a Senior UI/UX Product Designer to work onsite with a client’s product and engineering teams in downtown Toronto. This is a hands-on individual contributor role requiring strong ownership of end-to-end design execution across mobile and web products.

    • Translate product requirements, user needs, and business goals into high-quality design solutions
    • Create pixel-perfect UI designs, interaction flows, wireframes, and prototypes
    • Ensure strong visual consistency and attention to detail across platforms
    • Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Client Stakeholders onsite
    • Adapt and design within existing client design systems (e.g., Uber, Lyft–style systems)
    • Contribute to usability improvements through user-centered design principles
    • Maintain design quality while working independently with minimal supervision

    Required Skills & Qualifications

    • Strong experience designing both mobile (iOS/Android) and web applications
    • Exceptional UI/visual design skills with a sharp eye for typography, spacing, color, and layout
    • Proven experience as an individual contributor in product-driven organizations
    • Ability to work independently at client locations and manage multiple design priorities
    • Experience working within or adapting to enterprise-level design systems
    • Strong proficiency with design tools such as Figma (required)
    • Excellent communication and stakeholder collaboration skills

    Preferred / Nice-to-Have

    • Experience in Finance / FinTech products
    • Background working with large-scale consumer or platform products
    • Exposure to accessibility standards and usability best practices

    Additional Notes
