UI/UX Designer

Versant•Carlsbad, CA

22h•$120,000 - $138,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The UI/UX Designer will join Full Swing’s Design Center of Excellence and be embedded in a product pod based on team needs. The role focuses on companion apps that work with simulators and connected hardware, including setup, calibration, live sessions, and performance tracking. The designer will help keep the experience simple as the hardware ecosystem and its apps grow. The designer will own scoped, end-to-end work for key app feature areas, translating ambiguous problems into clear user flows and polished interfaces. The role partners with Product and Engineering from discovery through launch, and evaluates success by how well shipped features work for users in real sessions. The work environment is hybrid or office-based, depending on company needs. Work is primarily in an office with standard working hours, though occasional after-hours support may be required. The role involves frequent cross-department collaboration, extended periods sitting and working at a computer, and the ability to lift 25 pounds.

Requirements

At least 3 years of product design experience shipping consumer or professional mobile applications for iOS and/or Android.
A portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of shipped product work, including problem framing, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, prototypes, and iteration informed by user feedback or product data.
Proficiency in Figma, including detailed user flows, component libraries, and interactive prototypes.
Solid understanding of iOS and Android design guidelines (Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design) and how they differ.
Ability to work with ambiguity and move quickly in a fast-paced environment, including defining problems.
Experience working directly with engineers through implementation and QA.
Clear communication skills and the ability to explain design decisions to design and non-design audiences.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing connected hardware/software experiences, such as Bluetooth/BLE pairing, device onboarding, setup, calibration, live-session, or device-status flows.
Experience contributing to, auditing, or scaling a component library or design system.
Experience writing or closely collaborating on UX copy or microcopy.
Experience planning or supporting user interviews and usability tests, and synthesizing findings into product decisions.
Comfort incorporating AI tools into the design workflow, such as Figma AI or AI-assisted prototyping.
Interest or background in sports, fitness, or performance-tracking products.

Responsibilities

Design mobile app features end to end, from problem framing and user flows through high-fidelity UI and developer handoff.
Create detailed user flows and interactive Figma prototypes that communicate logic, edge cases, and states to engineering.
Partner with Product Managers and Engineers from discovery through launch, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business goals.
Contribute to a shared design system and maintain consistent patterns and components across iOS and Android.
Validate and iterate on design decisions using user research, analytics, and usability testing.
Present design rationale to stakeholders, including leadership, and incorporate feedback while keeping the underlying user problem in focus.
Participate in design critiques and share patterns and systems thinking across the product design team.
Apply mobile accessibility standards to interaction design, visual hierarchy, typography, color, and touch targets.
Partner with engineers through implementation and QA to ensure shipped experiences match intended behavior and handle edge cases.
Provide a portfolio with 2–3 case studies demonstrating direct contributions to shipped mobile product work and the design process, decisions, outcomes, and learnings.
