Responsibilities

The product design team at Workato is a tight-knit, collaborative team with a relentless focus on building the best experience for our users. We work fast, are biased toward action, and aren’t afraid to fail. Above all, we believe that enterprise UX should have the same usability, reliability, and delight that we have come to expect from consumer apps. We seek experienced UX designers who know their craft and want to uplevel themselves. You’ll work with a passionate group of researchers, designers, product managers, front and backend engineers, QA and technical writers to see your features through from planning to implementation.

• Organizing and leading projects, ensuring stakeholders' expectations are being addressed while keeping them aligned throughout the project.

• Defining user journeys and task flows for the project.

• Choosing appropriate design patterns and have a strong justification for your choices.

• When needed, use tools like Figma or CodePen to prototype your ideas and test the micro-interactions in the product experience.
