What does a UX/UI designer do?
A UX/UI designer shapes how a product looks and feels — information architecture, flows, visual design, motion, and the design system that keeps it consistent. Strong UX/UI designers pair research (usability tests, interviews) with fluent Figma execution and know how to hand off to engineering without constant rework.
Why a dedicated UX/UI hire still matters
- •Product quality is a competitive advantage — design debt slows engineering more than it looks.
- •Design systems pay off within months, not years, on any team above five engineers.
- •Well-researched flows cut support load and conversion drop-off.
- •Accessible, responsive design is a compliance and growth issue, not a nice-to-have.
- •Great designers raise the quality bar across engineering and product.
Skills to look for when you hire UX/UI designers
Figma fluency
Components, variants, auto-layout, tokens, prototypes, handoff hygiene.
Design systems
Token design, theming, component contracts, docs; Storybook familiarity.
Interaction design
Flow design, state modelling, edge cases, empty/error/loading states.
Research
Usability tests, interviews, Maze or similar tools, pragmatic analysis.
Accessibility
WCAG AA minimum, colour contrast, keyboard, screen-reader-aware patterns.
Motion & micro-interactions
Framer Motion or native platform idioms; restraint over flashiness.
Collaboration with engineering
Specs that engineers can implement without guessing.
Product sense
Pushes back on bad briefs, ships thin slices, cares about business outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
Do you support GDPR and EU data-residency requirements?▾
Yes. We work under GDPR-compliant contracts with clauses for EU data residency where required. Each engagement is assessed against the client's data-processing needs before onboarding.
How fast can I hire a UX/UI developer through SquadXP?▾
You'll get the first pre-vetted candidate CV within 24 hours of the intake call. Most clients finalise a UX/UI hire within 48 hours and onboard within the same week.
What if the first hire doesn't work out?▾
You have a 7-day replacement window, no questions asked. We'll start sending replacements the moment you flag it — no invoices, no friction.
Can I hire UX/UI developers across US, UK and EU timezones?▾
Yes. Our network spans multiple regions, so we can match any timezone overlap requirement — from full US hours to split UK/EU coverage.
Is this contract, full-time, or project-based?▾
All three. We support short-term projects, long-term contracts, and contract-to-hire. Most clients start with a 3-month engagement and extend.
Do you handle payroll, compliance, and NDAs?▾
Yes. SquadXP handles contracts, NDAs, payroll, tax compliance, and invoicing. You get a single monthly invoice and don't have to manage any local entity.
How do you protect IP and sensitive data?▾
Standard NDAs are in place before any candidate sees your brief. We follow NDA, HIPAA-aligned, and ISO 27001 processes. All engineers work on dedicated, encrypted machines.
Can SquadXP build a full UX/UI team, not just one hire?▾
Yes. If you need a team (UX/UI engineers + supporting roles like DevOps or QA), we source as a unit, including a team lead, and onboard them together.
Do your designers work directly in Figma with engineering on handoff?▾
Yes. Figma is the default tool. Our designers ship production-ready components with tokens, auto-layout, and documented states.
Can you provide design + frontend pairs?▾
Yes. If you need a designer + React engineer pod, we can source them together and align them on tooling and process.
