Our Creative team is working on the next big startups and tech innovations, and we’re in search of a Contract Product Designer (UX/UI). Cie is looking for someone who can contribute to all aspects of product strategy and design, including ideation, research, interaction design, and visual design. As a UX Designer at Cie, you will work closely with our partners to translate big vision into reality.

You will be responsible for bringing a unique perspective to our current UX practices and continuously raise the bar to deliver an experience that exceeds expectations. You will collaborate with the engineering, product, design, and project management teams to build outstanding and innovative products. This is a high-autonomy role owning design strategy and delivery outcomes.

We’re especially looking for a product designer who reaches for AI and LLM powered tools to move from idea to working proof of concept, fast.

Who You Are

: Empathic: Adept at understanding user needs, pain points, and expectations. Innovative: A creative thinker with the confidence to bring forward fresh perspectives and push the envelope. Master Storyteller: You can mesmerize an audience with intuitive designs.

Energetic Team-Player: Happy to jump in and support when you’re needed – around you the team feels like every day is a Friday. Problem-Solver: Insightful when it comes to recognizing user needs and skilled in turning those into a seamless user experience. Detail-Oriented: If a pixel is at #FEE900 instead of #FFEA00, you will notice.

Insatiably Curious: Always learning, asks thoughtful questions, and unafraid to challenge the status quo. Never Just Checks the Box: The obvious solution is your starting point, not the finish line. Open-Minded: Welcomes diverse perspectives and feedback to create superior project outcomes.

Data-Driven: Data guides your design (but you know when to break the rules).

What You'Ll Do

: Collaborate with product managers on product concept ideation and development. Develop conceptual diagrams, interaction flows, wireframes, visual mockups, and interactive prototypes. Think through and visualize all paths, not just the happy path: edge cases, error states, and the messy real world flows users encounter.

Design UI architecture, interface, and interaction flow of web and on-device software. Conceptualize and bring to life the visual aesthetic of digital projects. Conduct user research and testing to validate designs and prototypes.

Identify and apply market trends to design recommendations. Present design work and lead review discussions with the project team. What you need to succeed: A portfolio featuring your design work.

Experience as a user experience designer, interaction designer, information architect, or similar UX-related role. Experience in interaction design, usability, visual design, prototyping, and research. Hands on experience using AI and LLM tools (prompting, AI design and coding assistants, rapid prototyping platforms) to build functional prototypes, not just static mockups.

Experience with designing for multiple types of devices. Understanding of composition, balance, symmetry, and white space. Ability to use human-centered product discovery methods to infer product design.

Experience building products in an Agile software development environment. Demonstrated experience incubating and commercializing new ideas, working closely with technical teams from concept generation through implementation. Ability to build trusted partnerships and work seamlessly across internal and external teams.

Strong consumer product instincts and a pragmatic design philosophy. Strong leadership skills to drive projects to completion. Ability to juggle multiple priorities and make things happen in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Proficiency in Figma and other design tools.
