Senior UX Designer – Search & Recommendations

Location: Atlanta, GA (Hybrid – 4 days onsite)
Employment Type: W2 Contract (6 months, with possible extension/convert)
Pay Range: $50–$70/hour

Overview

Our client’s .com Search & Recommendations team is seeking a Senior Product Designer to bring strong design craft and mentorship to a growing, junior team. This role is highly hands-on, focusing on elevating the team’s design quality through visual polish, design system application, and peer mentorship.

This is not a strategy-heavy role—it’s ideal for someone who thrives in IC (individual contributor) design work while also guiding less experienced designers to uplevel their skills and output.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver polished, production-ready UI and UX designs for search and recommendations features.

• Partner with junior designers to review, critique, and refine their work.

• Mentor and coach teammates, helping improve design quality and confidence.

• Apply and evolve the existing design system, ensuring consistency across look and feel.

• Collaborate with product managers and engineers to ensure feasible, high-quality execution.

• Act as a floating design resource within Search & Recommendations, jumping in where needed to help teams deliver.

• Balance individual design contributions with team mentorship responsibilities.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–8+ years of UX/UI/Product Design experience, with at least 2+ years at a Senior Designer level.

• Strong visual/UI design skills, with a portfolio demonstrating polished, high-quality work.

• Experience working with and contributing to design systems.

• Ability to give clear, actionable design feedback and mentor junior team members.

• Hands-on experience with modern design tools (Figma preferred).

• Solid UX foundation, including information architecture and interaction design.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Why This Role?

• High-impact opportunity to shape the quality bar of the Search & Recommendations team.

• Balance of IC work + mentorship without heavy business/product strategy responsibilities.

• Ideal for a Senior Designer on the cusp of Staff level who wants to grow as a mentor while still designing hands-on.
