## Description

### About OptiSigns

OptiSigns is a Houston-based B2B SaaS company that helps more than 22,000 businesses engage customers and employees through intuitive digital-screen solutions. We believe great software should feel effortless—even to non-technical users—and that thoughtful design is as critical as solid engineering.

### Why this role exists

We’re expanding our product line and need a craft-obsessed engineer who can **own the entire front-end experience—from Figma designs to pixel-perfect production code.** If you love sweating the details of typography and motion _and_ thrive in a codebase, you’ll fit right in.

### What you’ll do

**40%** – Design delightful UIs in Figma: information architecture, low- to hi-fi mock-ups, interactive prototypes, component libraries, accessibility states, and responsive breakpoints.

**40%** – Build the designs using modern HTML, semantic CSS/SCSS (or Tailwind), TypeScript, and React (Next.js) or Angular. Maintain a clean, reusable component system.

**10%** – User-test & iterate: run quick usability tests, interpret analytics/heatmaps, and turn findings into improvements.

**10%** – Collaborate & ship: work with product managers, full-stack/backend engineers, and QA to deliver features end-to-end, review PRs, and improve our DX tooling (Storybook, ESLint, Husky, etc.).

## Requirements

### What you bring

-   **0–3 years** building customer-facing web apps (portfolio or live products required).
-   Mastery of **Figma** (auto-layout, variants, design tokens, FigJam).
-   Production experience with **React or Angular**, modern TypeScript, and component architectures.
-   Deep understanding of **HTML semantics, CSS layouts (Flexbox / Grid), responsive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.2), and performance optimizations**.
-   Familiarity with design systems (Material, Ant, Radix, or your own), animation libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP), and testing (Jest, Testing Library, Cypress).
-   Comfort working in an Agile, CI/CD environment (GitLab CI/CD, Vercel/AWS).
-   A user-centric mindset—ability to translate business goals into intuitive flows and elegant interactions.
-   Excellent written & verbal communication.

### Bonus points

-   Experience with **data-heavy dashboards** or B2B SaaS UX.
-   Knowledge of **Node.js**
-   Illustration/icon skills, motion graphics, or brand design chops.
