Overview
Job Description
We are seeking a detail-oriented Junior UI/UX Design Engineer to help shape the user experience of a complex Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform. This role sits at the intersection of design and front-end engineering-ideal for someone who not only designs clean, intuitive interfaces but can also implement them with precision in a real-world application.
You will work on simplifying complex workflows into efficient, low-friction user experiences that minimize clicks, page loads, and cognitive overhead.
Key Responsibilities
UI/UX Design for Complex Systems
Design intuitive workflows for data-dense and operationally complex interfaces.
Translate DCIM concepts (racks, power chains, cooling, network topology) into clear, usable UI patterns.
Optimize user journeys to reduce interaction cost (clicks, navigation depth, context switching).
Component-Based Design & Implementation
Design reusable UI components that serve as building blocks across the application.
Ensure components are flexible and context-aware (adapt styling/behavior based on usage context).
Contribute to and evolve a consistent design system.
Pixel-Perfect Execution
Implement UI with high visual fidelity-attention to spacing, alignment, typography, and micro-interactions.
Identify and correct inconsistencies (e.g., off-by-one spacing, misaligned elements, visual imbalance).
Front-End Development
Own, write and maintain CSS (or SCSS/Tailwind/etc.) to support scalable, maintainable UI patterns.
Collaborate closely with front-end engineers to integrate designs into a complex codebase.
Ensure UI performance remains high even in data-heavy views.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelors of Engineering or Computer Science Degree
- 1-3 years of experience in UI/UX design and front-end CSS development
- Strong visual design fundamentals (spacing, layout, typography, hierarchy).
- Experience designing and implementing reusable UI components.
- Proficiency in CSS and modern front-end styling approaches.
- Familiarity with design tools (zeroheight, Figma, Storybook, etc.).
Preferred Qualifications
- Exposure to data center environments or DCIM concepts.
- Experience working with complex enterprise or data-heavy applications.
- Understanding of component-driven frameworks (Angular and AngularJS).
- Experience with design systems or UI libraries.
