About Sapphire Labs

Sapphire Labs is an innovation services firm that builds products, systems, and teams for high-growth startups and enterprise clients. We partner closely with our clients to design and ship production-grade software—fast.

Our teams are small, senior, and highly collaborative. We value ownership, curiosity, and execution. Titles matter less than impact, and leadership is earned through initiative and consistently high-quality work.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior UI/UX Designer to work closely with Sapphire Labs’ internal engineering, product, and delivery teams, supporting both internal platforms and client-facing products across fintech, energy, SaaS, and enterprise domains.

This is a hands-on design role. You’ll be embedded with small, senior engineering teams, shaping product direction, designing end-to-end user experiences, and helping ship real software—not just mockups.

A typical week may include:

Partnering with engineers and product leads to clarify requirements and define product scope
Designing and prototyping user flows for internal tools and client applications
Iterating quickly based on engineering constraints, timelines, and feedback
Establishing and refining design systems, patterns, and UX standards
Supporting multiple projects in parallel while maintaining quality and consistency

What You’ll Do

Translate business and technical requirements into clear, intuitive user experiences
Design user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes
Collaborate daily with engineers to ensure designs are feasible and implemented accurately
Participate in product discovery, roadmap discussions, and scope definition
Balance speed and polish—knowing when to ship and when to refine
Maintain and evolve internal design systems and reusable components
Review implemented features and provide UX feedback post-development
Advocate for the user while understanding real-world engineering and business constraints

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

5+ years of professional UI/UX design experience
Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design (not just visuals)
Deep experience designing web applications (SaaS, dashboards, internal tools)
Excellent understanding of UX fundamentals: information architecture, usability, accessibility
High proficiency with Figma (components, variants, auto-layout, prototyping)
Strong communication skills—you can explain design decisions clearly to engineers and stakeholders
Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
Self-starter mindset with strong ownership and follow-through

Nice-to-Have (Not Required)

Experience working in consulting, agencies, or product studios.
Familiarity with fintech, energy, analytics, or enterprise platforms
Experience collaborating with distributed or nearshore engineering teams
Basic understanding of front-end development (React, design systems, component-based UI)
Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system

How We Work

Small, senior teams (you won’t be buried in hierarchy)
Designers sit close to engineering—real collaboration, not handoffs
High visibility projects with meaningful impact
Emphasis on speed, clarity, and execution
Strong preference for designers who enjoy building, iterating, and shipping
