• Maintain and continuously evolve our design system to ensure consistency and scalability.
• Collaborate intimately with product and engineering teams to ensure pixel-perfect UI implementation.
• Conduct usability testing and meticulously incorporate feedback into design iterations.
• Champion the user's perspective in all product and roadmap discussions.
• Ensure all designs are accessible, performant, and perfectly aligned with micro1's brand identity.

• A robust portfolio showcasing end-to-end product thinking and design solutions.
• Excellent foundational understanding of UX principles, interaction design, and visual hierarchy.
• Prior experience designing complex SaaS or B2B products.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively cross-functionally with Product Managers and Engineers.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a genuine passion for achieving pixel-perfect execution.

• Experience working on AI or developer-focused products.

Why Join micro1
