UX Product Designer

Role Summary At WEX, we’re not just a payments and technology company—we are pioneers on a mission to simplify the business of running a business. Our Corporate Payments product space is evolving fast, and we recognize that the traditional “handoff” between design and dev teams is changing. We are looking for a UX Design Engineer, a hybrid creative and technical powerhouse, who doesn't just visualize the future of our experiences but helps us build them. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of designers and researchers to help create and deliver world-class fintech products. You will be responsible for research & design of customer experiences, user testing, pitching ideas, and creating workflows, visual designs, and prototypes. You will use an AI-assisted coding tool to accelerate output, then refine the code and UX details so engineers can translate it into production. What You’ll Do Prototype in Figma Make and Cursor: Act as a bridge between design and engineering by using AI-assisted design & prototyping tools to accelerate ideation and delivery. Work in GitHub: Maintain prototype work in a repo (clear structure, runnable setup, repeatable demos). Design for real interaction: Show key flows, states, edge cases, and constraints with mock data. Accessibility + responsiveness: Ensure prototypes include keyboard basics, semantic structure, and responsive layouts. AI-assisted workflow: Use a text-to-code tool to generate a starting point, then edit and improve the output. Pair with product + engineering: Iterate quickly based on feedback and evolving requirements. Discovery + structure: Contribute to problem framing, IA, and research synthesis as teams define the new experience. Usability testing: Plan and run lightweight usability sessions, then adjust prototypes based on findings. Design system alignment: Use internal shadcn-based components and keep UI consistent with WEX standards. What You’ll Bring (Must-Haves) 3–5 years of UX/Product Design experience. Ability to build and edit frontend prototypes using industry standard design tools, like Figma. Experience using at least one AI coding tool (Cursor is a strong plus). Comfort moving fast without relying on pixel-perfect static files. Strong collaboration habits with engineers and product partners. Strong experience running User Research end-to-end. Strong experience running Usability tests end-to-end. Ability to operate well when requirements are still forming (you clarify, propose, test, and iterate). Advanced English proficiency. Nice-to-Haves Cursor or Bolt experience. Familiarity with shadcn/ui patterns and theming. Basic understanding of component composition and state (enough to express interaction logic cleanly).
