- End-to-end design for complex, ambiguous problems on a product surface. From problem framing through customer research to final shipped UI. You drive your own discovery; you do not wait for briefs.
- Customer research. Run interviews independently, synthesise findings, convert to design direction. You speak to internal customers - not always through PM.
- Design system contributions. Extend primitives, propose new patterns, document conventions. Your contributions outlive your tenure on any single feature.
- Mentoring designers. Code review the design equivalent: review work, give critique, unblock craft questions. Engineers and PMs see you as a craft mentor across the team.
- Driving design critique sessions. Structure feedback rounds, raise the bar across the team.
- Written design rationale. You produce design decision documents, principles, and decision logs as a default - not when forced.
- Cross-functional partnership. Surface design constraints early to PM and engineering. Bring reasoned alternatives. Operate as a peer, not a delegate.
- Pixel-level craft and accessibility on your own work and surface.

What We Do
Unifize is a Quality Management Software that helps life science and manufacturing companies bring compliant products to life faster. Existing PLM/QMS software solutions are typically built for compliance and not speed. They focus on entirely data capture and control, leaving quality, product/engineering, ops, purchasing, and other teams to collaborate on email, phone calls, meetings, and via tools like Teams and Slack. But when you separate where teams collaborate from where quality processes & documents are managed, these companies end up: - Wasting time and making mistakes as things fall between the cracks - Being unable to get real-time traceability on decisions and actions - Struggling to drive accountability across teams inside/outside quality Ultimately, the quality department just becomes a clerical, form-filling non-function that spends its whole time following up with other teams. By bringing collaboration, processes, and documents into one place, Unifize streamlines how information flows through quality processes and builds engagement in quality across the whole organization. Furthermore, our no-code platform allows quality teams to build and configure their organization's processes & workflows, or use our template library of pre-validated processes.
