UX Designer
About the role
We are hiring a UX Designer who sits at the intersection of design and engineering. The research and judgment that define strong UX work remain at the center of this role - what changes is the toolkit. Rather than producing static design files as the primary output, you will build functioning prototypes and, where appropriate, functioning front-end code, using AI-assisted development tools to move quickly from user insight to a testable, interactive result. The person who understands the user need is the same person putting it into a form that can be tested and refined.
What You'll Do
- Conduct customer and internal user research - interviews, surveys, usability testing - and synthesize findings into a clear understanding of user needs, motivations, and friction points that directly inform product direction.
- Validate that the product is delivering the outcomes customers actually want and carry that evidence into product decisions alongside Technical Product Managers and engineers.
- Build functioning prototypes in code rather than static mockups, so that ideas can be tested in something close to the real experience - using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code to move from insight to a testable build quickly.
- Produce functioning front-end code where it is the right path to a working result, with a clear handoff point where your output is reviewed by engineering before it reaches production.
- Define interaction patterns, hierarchy, and visual design directly in the medium customers will use, and iterate based on what testing reveals - holding the standard for accessibility and quality throughout.
- Collaborate with Technical Product Managers and engineers to align prototypes and builds with technical constraints, product goals, and business outcomes.
- Contribute to key AI-powered product initiatives, including Bill Capture tooling that extracts and processes utility data, and the Watts AI agent experience.
What You'll Bring
- A sharp visual craft and a researcher's mindset combined with the technical fluency to build what you design.
- Hands-on comfort building in code, including front-end work, and demonstrates fluency with AI-assisted development tools for rapid prototyping and refinement.
- Sound judgment about what to build and what to leave out - which matters more, not less, when AI tooling makes it easy to generate almost anything.
- Working knowledge of accessibility standards and an eye for the difference between a prototype that merely functions and one that is sound enough to build on.
- Experience working within complex, data-heavy product environments - fintech, energy, enterprise SaaS, or CRM experience is strongly preferred.
- An outgoing and proactive personality: you ask questions early, surface issues quickly, and build trust across engineering, product, and business teams.
- A healthy skeptic who challenges assumptions with evidence, balances assertiveness with flexibility, and holds a point of view without losing sight of user needs.
- Genuinely empathetic - you care about the people you're designing for and bring that care into every research conversation and design decision.
- Energized by fast pace and change; comfortable operating without a complete playbook and motivated by ambiguity.
