UX/UI Designer

Requisition ID: 265906 

Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

The Senior UI/UX Engineer will design and build an exceptional internal developer experience by executing a consolidated Internal Developer Portal on Backstage. This role blends user experience (UX) leadership with hands-on UI engineering to integrate multiple existing portals and developer tools into a single, consistent "control pane" for engineering teams. By unifying workflows, discovery, and self-service experiences across the software delivery lifecycle, the role will measurably reduce friction for developers, improve onboarding, and accelerate product delivery at scale.

Reporting to the Director & Head, Developer Enablement, the Senior UI/UX Engineer will partner closely with platform engineering, developer productivity, and tool owners to translate developer needs into intuitive journeys, scalable interaction patterns, and high-quality Backstage user interfaces and plugins. The focus is pragmatic and outcome-driven: build a portal that is simple, reliable, and “good enough” to meaningfully improve productivity, while establishing a strong foundation for iterative enhancement and expanded capabilities over time. 

Is this role right for you? In this role, you will:

• Lead discovery and UX design for an Internal Developer Portal, translating developer needs into clear user journeys, information architecture, and prioritized experiences.
• Engineer and deliver Backstage frontend capabilities (pages, components, and plugins) using modern web engineering practices (e.g., React, TypeScript), ensuring a consistent and maintainable experience.
• Integrate and consolidate multiple existing portals and developer experiences into a unified Backstage platform, harmonizing navigation, design patterns, and interaction standards.
• Partner with Developer Productivity and Analytics tool owners to surface actionable insights, status, and operational signals within the portal in a way that is intuitive and decision-supportive.
• Establish and evolve a lightweight design system for the portal, including reusable UI components, accessibility-aware patterns, and documented standards that support scale and speed.
• Conduct iterative user validation (e.g., interviews, usability testing, and lightweight analytics) and drive continuous improvements based on evidence and feedback.
• Collaborate with backend/platform engineers to define integration patterns, APIs, and data contracts that support responsive, reliable, and secure user experiences.
• Ensure high-quality delivery through strong engineering discipline: code quality, performance considerations, testing strategy, documentation, and operational readiness.
