AIA Contract Documents is the industry standard for architecture and construction contracts, trusted for over 135 years. Our Catina platform is a secure, cloud-based hub for creating and managing contract documents. We are hiring a UX Designer to join our fully remote product team. You will help shape the user experience of our web-based SaaS platform, collaborating closely with product managers and engineers. This is a unique opportunity to simplify complex legal workflows and make a meaningful impact on the day-to-day work of architects, engineers, and construction professionals. We use Figma for all design work, so experience designing SaaS or productivity platforms will help you succeed in this role.

Responsibilities

Design end-to-end user flows: Create wireframes, user flows, mockups, and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma that address user needs and project requirements.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to define requirements and ensure designs align with business goals and technical constraints.
Conduct user research: Plan and facilitate user interviews, usability tests, or surveys. Use insights from research and analytics to validate and refine design decisions.
Maintain design system: Contribute to our UI component library and style guidelines to ensure consistency across the platform. Help evolve our design system by documenting patterns and best practices.
Iterate on designs: Incorporate feedback from users and team members to improve the product. Be prepared to revise and optimize designs based on data, accessibility standards, and emerging needs.
Advocate for users: Champion user-centered design and accessibility best practices throughout the development process. Communicate design rationale clearly to stakeholders and engineering teammates.
Ensure implementation quality: Collaborate with developers during implementation to verify that the final product matches the design intent. Support the team in troubleshooting UI/UX issues and refining the experience post-launch.

Qualifications

Experience: 2-5 years of UX design experience, ideally working on web applications or SaaS products (workflow, productivity, or B2B platforms preferred).
Portfolio: A strong portfolio that demonstrates a systematic UX design process (research, ideation, prototyping) and solid visual design skills.
Design tools: Proficiency in Figma (wireframing, prototyping, and design specification). Familiarity with other design and prototyping tools is a plus.
User research: Hands-on experience with user research methods (e.g. interviews, usability testing, surveys) and translating insights into design improvements.
Web & accessibility: Good understanding of responsive web design and accessibility standards (WCAG).
Design systems: Experience contributing to a design system or pattern library, including documenting components and guidelines.
Collaboration & communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills. Able to clearly explain design decisions and iterate based on feedback. Comfortable working in a cross-functional remote team.
Self-motivation: Organized, proactive, and capable of managing multiple tasks in a remote work environment. You take ownership of your work and thrive with autonomy while asking for support when needed.
Education: Bachelor's degree in UX Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience.
Bonus: Interest or background in architecture, construction, or legal technology, and familiarity with complex domain-specific workflows is a plus (but not required).
