. 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</
