UX/UI Designer

About the Role

Driftline Creative is embedding a senior designer with one of its fintech clients for a 6-month redesign of a consumer banking app used by about 2 million people. You will own flows end to end, from Figma components to usability tests that run every sprint, working hybrid from Austin. If you want mobile work that people open five times a day, this is a good seat.

What You'll Do

• Redesign core flows of a consumer banking app, including onboarding, transfers, and account management, across iOS and Android
• Build and maintain a Figma design system with shared components, variables, and documentation used by three product squads
• Plan and moderate usability tests every two-week sprint, then turn findings into prioritized design changes
• Deliver developer-ready specs and interactive prototypes, then review builds against them before release
• Present work in weekly client critiques and back decisions with research, not opinion
• Track accessibility gaps and design debt and fold fixes into each sprint plan

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years designing digital products, including at least 2 shipped mobile apps
• Portfolio showing shipped mobile work and the reasoning behind the decisions
• Advanced Figma skills: components, variables, and auto layout at design-system scale
• Hands-on experience planning, moderating, and synthesizing usability tests
• Working knowledge of WCAG 2.1 AA and how to apply it on small screens
• Comfort presenting to client stakeholders and revising based on direct feedback
• Ability to work on site in Austin 2-3 days per week for the full 6-month engagement

Nice to Have

• Fintech, banking, or payments product experience
• Familiarity with native iOS and Android platform conventions
• Experience with research tools such as Maze, UserTesting, or Amplitude
• Motion or advanced prototyping work in ProtoPie, Principle, or After Effects

Benefits & Perks

• Weekly pay
• Medical, dental, and vision for eligible contractors
• 401(k) with match
• MacBook Pro and Figma license provided for the assignment
