UI / UX Design Engineer
Piscataway, NJ
Full Time
Product Marketing
Entry Level
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.
- We are all about delighting our clients and live/breathe the end client/user experience
- We stock the office with soda, snacks, coffee and tea for you to refuel throughout the day
- We have amazing PTO Policy that allows you to take care of yourself and your family
- We offer medical, dental, vision and life insurance to eligible employees
- We believe in collaboration, teamwork, creativity and taking initiative
