UI/UX Engineer
Job Description
Faex Health is building clearer, calmer experiences for sensitive health information, and the UI/UX Engineer role sits at the intersection of design leadership and front-end implementation. This position will shape user journeys inside a Django application while partnering closely with the CTO and developers to deliver consistent experiences across iPhone, Android, and the web.
Working in a hybrid setup from Greenwood Vlg, CO, you will lead the design system on Bootstrap 5, redesign the path from sign-up to first scan, and help make complex clinical content easier to understand.
Responsibilities
- Own the design for a continuing redesign on a new Bootstrap 5 foundation, guiding layout, navigation, typography, color, and components.
- Own the design and front-end component library; developers handle implementation by connecting your components to application logic and data.
- Translate research and product goals into user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.
- Write clean, responsive, accessible HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in Django templates, using Bootstrap 5 and a shared component library.
- Create and maintain the Faex design system, including reusable components, tokens, and usage guidelines for consistent developer application.
- Design for mobile app experiences that wrap the web app, aiming for native-feeling iPhone and Android interactions, including touch targets, gestures, and photo-upload flows.
- Help make health information clearer and more measured across scan results, scores, trends over time, and Felix conversations, without overstating what results mean.
- Design the clinician-facing Faex MD dashboard, improve live experiences including the GLP-1 gut-health journey and period tracker, and design new products such as Faex Infant and partner onboarding.
- Ensure every screen meets WCAG accessibility standards and supports all 13 languages, including right-to-left Arabic and CJK scripts (Chinese, Japanese, and Hindi).
- Run usability tests, analyze where users drop off using analytics, and improve the path from sign-up to first scan.
- Work in a Git workflow with Azure Repos and Azure Boards, review front-end changes, and collaborate with developers on implementation.
Requirements
- 5+ years designing digital products, with at least 3 years writing production front-end code.
- Expert HTML and CSS, including responsive layouts, Flexbox, Grid, and cross-browser testing.
- Strong Bootstrap experience, ideally Bootstrap 5.
- Working JavaScript skills for interactive components and front-end behavior.
- Proficiency in a modern design and prototyping tool such as Figma.
- Experience building or maintaining a design system or component library.
- Experience designing and building multilingual interfaces, including RTL layouts and CJK text (Chinese, Japanese, Korean).
- Solid knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and mobile-first design.
- Comfort working with Git alongside developers in a shared codebase.
- A portfolio showing both your design work and the front-end code you wrote.
- Comfort working day to day with AI coding assistants such as Claude Code and Kiro, and the ability to pick up new tools as they evolve.
- Ability to work in the Denver office three days per week.
