UI/UX Designer–Developer

Location: Remote (Prefer NYC Area). 

The Simple VUE (TSV) is an Atlanta-based analytics and software development firm that helps government agencies and forward-thinking commercial organizations turn complex data into actionable insights. We design and build secure, cloud-native solutions—spanning AI/ML, data engineering, full-stack development, and intelligent automation—that drive efficiency, informed decision-making, and measurable impact.

We are seeking a combined UI/UX Designer–Developer to support the design and implementation of a secure, large-scale election and voting platform for a major public-sector client.

This role covers:

• UX: Research, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and experience design
• UI: Front-end development, component implementation, accessibility, and delivery

You will work across product, engineering, QA, and business teams to ensure the user experience is intuitive, compliant, accessible, and performance-ready for high-stakes election events.

• Understand election workflows, constraints, and user roles across voters, candidates, and administrators.
• Translate requirements into user journeys, flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes.
• Conduct/participate in user research and usability testing, validating design decisions.
• Design for accessibility and inclusivity (WCAG, keyboard navigation, screen-readers).
• Document UX specifications, edge cases, and interaction rules for development teams.
• Partner with UI developers to evolve a reusable design system and component library.
• Assist product/QA to ensure delivered features match intended UX expectations.
• Support continuous UX improvement from discovery through delivery.

• Implement responsive, accessible UI components based on UX specifications and design system guidelines.
• Build front-end functionality using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Develop with React, Angular, or Vue and integrate front-end components with APIs.
• Implement form flows, validations, and error handling for voting and administrative tools.
• Ensure performance, accessibility compliance, and cross-browser optimization.
• Manage state, data binding, and API consumption in complex workflows.
• Write and maintain unit/UI tests to prevent regressions.
• Participate in code reviews, sprints, and continuous improvement of the front-end codebase.

• 4–6 years combined experience in UX, UI development, or front-end engineering.
• Experience designing and/or implementing workflow-driven, form-heavy applications.
• Prior work in high-stakes, regulated, or public-sector platforms is strongly preferred.

• Strong portfolio demonstrating user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and UX rationale.
• Proficiency designing for accessibility, clarity, and error prevention.
• Ability to create interaction patterns that support component-based front-end frameworks.
• Strong understanding of information architecture and interaction design.

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3 (flexbox/grid).
• Hands-on experience with React, Angular, or Vue.
• Experience consuming REST APIs, managing UI state, and handling asynchronous operations.
• Familiarity with design systems, component libraries, and reusable UI patterns.
• Experience with front-end testing tools and debugging workflows.
• Experience working in Git-based CI/CD environments (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, etc.).

• Proficiency with Figma or similar prototyping tools.
• Ability to work in Agile teams (PM, BA, developers, QA).
• Strong communication and ability to explain design/technical decisions to non-technical audiences.

• Understanding of modern web front-end architectures and responsive design constraints.
• Experience deploying or supporting UI in cloud environments (Azure preferred).
• Familiarity with SSO/OAuth2/OIDC and UI implications for roles/permissions.

• Strong attention to detail and ownership.
• Ability to work under tight timelines with high-stakes deliverables.
• Effective communicator with cross-functional teams.

• Experience designing or developing civic, voting, or government service platforms.
• Familiarity with workflows such as voter eligibility, ballot selection, confirmations, or audit-ready review flows.
• Advanced UX training (NN/g, HCI degree, UX certification) or front-end engineering certifications.
• Experience supporting large public-sector systems (state/local election platforms, education, civic engagement).

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. Sponsorship is not available.
