UI/UX Engineer - Remote LATAM

Location: Remote – Latin America

Employment Type: Full-Time

Reports To: Product Lead / Product Engineer / COO

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a UI/UX Engineer who can bridge product design and front-end development to create intuitive, accessible, and polished digital experiences.

In this role, you will take product problems from discovery through implementation—understanding user needs, mapping workflows, designing interfaces, building reusable components, and validating the final experience in production.

You will work closely with product leadership and engineering to ensure designs are not only visually polished, but also practical to build, accessible, performant, and maintainable.

Success in this role means users can complete important tasks with less friction, the product feels consistent across experiences, and the team can efficiently deliver high-quality features.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

PRODUCT & USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN

• Translate business goals and user needs into clear user journeys, workflows, and interaction designs.

• Identify usability issues and product friction through user feedback, usability testing, analytics, and collaboration with internal teams.

• Create wireframes, prototypes, and production-ready designs for new features and product improvements.

• Design complete user experiences, including loading, empty, error, success, and recovery states.

• Explain design decisions and evaluate alternatives based on user needs, technical constraints, and business priorities.

• Balance user experience, technical feasibility, and delivery requirements when making design decisions.

UI DESIGN & DESIGN SYSTEMS

• Create consistent, polished interfaces across supported devices and screen sizes.

• Develop and maintain reusable patterns for typography, spacing, navigation, forms, colors, and interactions.

• Build and maintain reusable UI components.

• Keep design components and implemented components aligned.

• Document component behavior, usage guidelines, and accessibility requirements.

• Partner with engineering to reduce one-off solutions and improve consistency across the product.

FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT

• Build responsive interfaces and reusable components using modern front-end technologies.

• Translate approved designs into high-quality, production-ready code.

• Integrate interfaces with APIs in collaboration with application and backend engineers.

• Write clean, maintainable code and participate in pull-request reviews.

• Validate implementation against approved designs, acceptance criteria, and intended user experience.

• Troubleshoot usability, browser compatibility, accessibility, and front-end performance issues.

• Collaborate with mobile engineers to maintain a consistent experience across web and native applications.

ACCESSIBILITY & PRODUCT QUALITY

• Incorporate accessibility throughout the design and development process.

• Consider keyboard navigation, focus management, semantic HTML, color contrast, responsive behavior, and assistive technologies.

• Test important user journeys across supported devices and browsers.

• Implement appropriate automated checks for critical interactions and reusable components.

• Conduct usability reviews before release and evaluate feedback after launch.

• Ensure delivered experiences meet both functional and design requirements.

• Remain accountable for reviewing and validating all delivered work, including work produced with AI-assisted development tools.

COLLABORATION & SHARED OWNERSHIP

• Work with product leadership to define scope, priorities, success measures, and acceptance criteria.

• Review proposed experiences with engineers before implementation to identify dependencies and technical constraints.

• Present designs and implementations regularly and incorporate actionable feedback.

• Collaborate with backend, platform, mobile, and product teams throughout the development lifecycle.

• Maintain desi
