Job description

Product Designer  – Mulongo Inc

Mulongo Inc. is seeking a dedicated Product Designer to join our early-stage company and be a part of building our launch product Oseer (See oseerapp.com).

You will collaborate with the founder to build and prepare for a product launch. As a Product Designer, you will be tasked with taking template files from a lead designer and creating secondary mock-ups and prototypes (including all the necessary functionality) for the front-end developer.

You will work to implement design new features, as well as make modifications and enhancements to existing features. Your duties will include designing mock-ups, helping with user stories and gathering user feedback.

We hope you can put your passion for developing to use in launching a safe and effective product that will deliver meaningful value to our users. 

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of features and products across the entire product, including user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and final visual interfaces.
• Utilize advanced Figma features (e.g., Auto Layout, Variants, Variables, interactive prototyping) to create realistic, testable, and pixel-perfect designs.
• Prepare, organize, and annotate design files in Figma for seamless consumption by front and back-end developers.
• Act as the champion for the user, ensuring design decisions are always informed by user needs, best practices, and business goals.
• Plan, conduct, and synthesize user research (e.g., interviews, surveys, usability testing) and interpret data/analytics to inform and validate design choices.
• Rapidly iterate on design concepts based on user feedback, technical constraints, and product performance data.
• Collaborate daily with Product Managers to shape the product roadmap, define requirements, and prioritize features.
• Work closely with front-end engineers to ensure the final implementation accurately reflects the design vision and meets accessibility standards.
• Clearly articulate design rationale, present concepts to stakeholders, and confidently defend design decisions based on research and data.

Required Skills

• Exceptional proficiency in Figma, demonstrating mastery of components, Auto Layout, prototyping, and team libraries.
• A strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end product design work, demonstrating both UX thinking and visual UI craft.
• Solid understanding of User-Centered Design (UCD) principles, information architecture, and interaction design.
• Experience designing for multiple platforms (e.g., responsive web, iOS, Android).
• Familiarity with modern agile development processes.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves)

• Experience designing and maintaining a comprehensive design system at scale.
• Basic understanding of front-end technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) to better collaborate with engineers on technical feasibility.
• Experience with a secondary design tool for specific tasks (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch).
• Experience with data visualization principles.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG).
