Remote
UI/UX Designer (12 mos. Contract)
About this role
Reports to: Creative Lead Location: Remote (U.S.); West Coast preferred or PST hours required. About the Role NETGEAR (Consumer division) is building an in-house creative team to own digital design work end to end. The team is small on purpose: a Creative Lead, a UI Designer, a Graphic Designer, and a copywriter. This is the digital design seat, focused on the direct-to-consumer side of netgear.com http://netgear.com.
It is a transactional storefront, so the work carries real conversion pressure. You will design and ship interface work for web, working inside an established atomic design system rather than starting from a blank canvas each time. Our team owns the web UI system. You will be the person working in it day to day: building with it, extending it, and keeping it coherent as the site grows. You will have access to website analytics and performance data, and you will work alongside our Lead of Consumer Insights, whose findings should feed directly into design decisions.
Your job is to take what all of that tells us and make it show up in the interface. Working inside an established system does not mean only assembling from what already exists. We expect you to spot where the system falls short of what a page actually needs, and to design new components that fit the existing logic rather than working around it. Our app is owned by a separate product team. You will not design app screens, but you will work with them to keep web and app visually consistent.
What you will do - Design and ship UI across the consumer side of netgear.com http://netgear.com, from wireframe through to developer-ready handoff. The work spans campaign and product landing pages, category and listing pages, product detail pages, media and content pages, and the interface for our product finder tools. - Work in our atomic web design system: build with existing components, extend it where the system does not yet cover what a page needs, and keep new work consistent with what is already there.
- Maintain our web Figma libraries, keeping components, variants, and tokens clean, documented, and usable by everyone touching the files. - Work with the front-end team who build and own the website itself: hand off designs in a state they can implement, check feasibility before committing to an approach, and review designs in staging before they go live. - Use website analytics and consumer insights research as inputs to design decisions.
