Job Description

UI/UX Designer (AI-Forward)

Web & Mobile SaaS Platforms

Overview

TrapWire is seeking a UI/UX Designer to help design and refine the user experience across our SaaS web platforms and mobile applications. This role sits at the intersection of design and engineering, partnering closely with our product and development teams to translate ideas into intuitive, user-friendly interfaces.

We're looking for a designer with strong fundamentals who has embraced modern AI tools as part of their workflow. The ideal candidate produces wireframes, mockups, interactive prototypes, and exported assets that engineers can implement against — and they get there faster than a traditional designer would because they know how to leverage AI alongside Figma and other established design tools.

Responsibilities

• Design wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups for new and existing features across web and mobile applications.Produce and hand off production-ready assets — SVG vectors, exported components, design tokens, CSS variable specs, and motion notes — that engineers can implement directly.
• Build interactive prototypes for validation, user testing, and stakeholder review.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and engineering teams to translate requirements into clear, implementable designs.
• Provide UX guidance and feedback during implementation to ensure final products match design intent.
• Develop and maintain consistent design patterns and UI standards across the TrapWire platform.
• Apply modern UX principles to improve workflow efficiency and usability.
• Review existing UI implementations and recommend improvements for user experience and accessibility.
• Work within an Agile environment, participating in sprint planning and design reviews.

Required Qualifications

• 2–6 years of experience in UI/UX design for web and mobile applications.
• Demonstrated experience creating wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI mockups.
• Strong understanding of modern UX principles and usability best practices.
• Working knowledge of HTML/CSS and front-end layout concepts — enough to communicate effectively with engineers and produce style specifications they an implement.
• Experience integrating AI tools into your design workflow. This could include v0, Lovable, Cursor, Figma AI / Figma Make, Uizard, Framer AI, or LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT) used for prototyping, generating assets, or scaling design system work.
• Proficiency with Figma (or equivalent design tool).
• Experience collaborating closely with software engineering teams.
• Ability to communicate design rationale clearly to stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator).
• Familiarity with modern design systems and component-based UI frameworks.
• Experience designing AI-powered product features (copilots, smart defaults, generative content).
• Background in SaaS, B2B, or operational dashboards.
• Experience in an Agile / Scrum environment.

About the role

US citizenship is a requirement for this role. Many of our customers operate in the national security space and require us to staff with US citizens only — this is a hard filter, not a preference.

Why Join TrapWire

• Work on technology supporting security, intelligence, and operational awareness platforms.
• Collaborate with a highly skilled engineering team solving real-world problems.
• Opportunity to shape the user experience of mission-critical applications used by organizations across multiple sectors.
• Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.

TrapWire is an equal opportunity employer.
