Job title: Jr. UI Engineer (UI/UX - Figma - React / Angular) in Houston, TX at OptiSigns Inc.
Company: OptiSigns Inc.
Job description: About OptiSigns
OptiSigns is a Houston-based B2B SaaS company that helps more than 22,000 businesses engage customers and employees through intuitive digital-screen solutions. We believe great software should feel effortless—even to non-technical users—and that thoughtful design is as critical as solid engineering.
Why this role exists
We’re expanding our product line and need a craft-obsessed engineer who can own the entire front-end experience—from Figma designs to pixel-perfect production code. If you love sweating the details of typography and motion and thrive in a codebase, you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll do
40% – Design delightful UIs in Figma: information architecture, low- to hi-fi mock-ups, interactive prototypes, component libraries, accessibility states, and responsive breakpoints.
40% – Build the designs using modern HTML, semantic CSS/SCSS (or Tailwind), TypeScript, and React (Next.js) or Angular. Maintain a clean, reusable component system.
10% – User-test & iterate: run quick usability tests, interpret analytics/heatmaps, and turn findings into improvements.
10% – Collaborate & ship: work with product managers, full-stack/backend engineers, and QA to deliver features end-to-end, review PRs, and improve our DX tooling (Storybook, ESLint, Husky, etc.).
RequirementsWhat you bring
- 0–3 years building customer-facing web apps (portfolio or live products required).
- Mastery of Figma (auto-layout, variants, design tokens, FigJam).
- Production experience with React or Angular, modern TypeScript, and component architectures.
- Deep understanding of HTML semantics, CSS layouts (Flexbox / Grid), responsive design, accessibility (WCAG 2.2), and performance optimizations.
- Familiarity with design systems (Material, Ant, Radix, or your own), animation libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP), and testing (Jest, Testing Library, Cypress).
- Comfort working in an Agile, CI/CD environment (GitLab CI/CD, Vercel/AWS).
- A user-centric mindset—ability to translate business goals into intuitive flows and elegant interactions.
- Excellent written & verbal communication.
Bonus points
- Experience with data-heavy dashboards or B2B SaaS UX.
- Knowledge of Node.js
- Illustration/icon skills, motion graphics, or brand design chops.
BenefitsBenefits & Perks
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Flexible schedule & remote-friendly culture (Houston HQ for those who prefer in-office)
- Generous PTO & paid holidays
- 401(k) with match (coming 2025)
- Monthly learning stipend (courses, conferences, books)
- Latest MacBook Pro / dev setup of your choice
