WHO WE ARE:

Aztec Software helps millions of students, employees, and adult learners build stronger futures through education, personalized guidance, and interactive tools. Across our award-winning SaaS platforms, we support meaningful outcomes in financial wellness, skills development, and lifelong learning.

As part of our mission-driven team, you’ll design experiences that deliver real-world impact at scale. Our digital product organization works AI-first, never AI-only — pairing bold thinking and modern tools with human craftsmanship, accountability, and a deep commitment to quality.

JOB SUMMARY:

As a full-stack product designer, you own the end-to-end feature design lifecycle — from understanding business requirements to high-fidelity design and developer handoff. You’ll work in a distributed, AI-enabled product culture, partnering closely with digital product managers to translate business needs into great user experiences.

OWNERSHIP AREAS:

This role demands high ownership, clear communication, and strong product judgment — balancing autonomy with collaboration, making smart trade-offs, and driving execution with a positive, solution-oriented mindset.

● You’re a full-stack product designer who owns the entire feature design lifecycle

○ Think AI-first, while owning the outcome – You creatively leverage AI to ideate, accelerate, and elevate every phase of the design workflow—while maintaining full accountability for the outcome and human craftsmanship.

○ Balance vision and execution – You see the big picture but focus on details, making smart trade-offs to stay on track.

○ Buy-in and improve processes – You’ll bring a positive attitude, embrace our processes and design ops, and help evolve them over time.

● You thrive as a self-starter within a cross-functional, distributed product culture

○ Work independently, collaborate effectively – Be a self-starter on a lean and growing team, working independently while staying aligned

○ Bridge business and engineering – Partner with business-side product managers to align priorities, advocate for UX, and work with engineers to deliver effectively

○ Prioritize and deliver – Manage multiple initiatives, stay cool under pressure, and drive results.

● You lead with clarity, reliability, and emotional intelligence

○ Communicate with impact – Present with clarity and conviction, align stakeholders, and rally teams to consensus.

○ Build trust through reliability – Be detail-oriented, solution-focused, and always delivering.

○ Balance results with emotional intelligence – Navigate challenges with diplomacy and clarity.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES:

● Analyze business and design requirements

○ Review and annotate POAs and PRDs – Assess scope, flag gaps, and clarify with the Digital Product Manager.

○ Clarify in kickoff meetings – Resolve uncertainties and align expectations with stakeholders.

● Conduct and present design research

○ Analyze user and client data – Review personas, analytics, and usability insights

○ Research and ideate – Analyze competitors and generate concepts through workshops, storyboards, and mapping.

○ Define strategy – Translate research into user flows, feature lists, and interaction frameworks.

○ Present findings – Advocate for your design strategy and align with stakeholders before design.

● Design new features, moving from wireframes to pixel perfect designs

○ Create Lo-Fi wireframes – Draft quick wireframes and prototypes to test, iterate, and refine structure.

○ Refine with Mid-Fi designs – Define layout and interactions, while aligning early and often with stakeholders and engineering.

○ Finalize Hi-Fi designs – Deliver pixel-perfect, dev-ready designs that meet all requirements.

● Write functional specification documents and support feature delivery

○ Own functional specs – Write and manage UI and interactive specs, coordinating with product, engineering, and content.

○ Lead spec kickoff – Align with engineering pre-build to review specs and address questions.

○ Support development – Assist engineers with QA, answer questions, and adjust for feasibility.

○ Analyze post-launch – Review analytics and usability data to identify improvements.

● Contribute to design system and product design ops

○ Manage the design system – Keep Figma updated, synced with code, and integrate new components.

○ Follow and improve product ops – Adhere to processes, attend ops meetings, and give feedback.

QUALIFICATIONS:

● 2+ years of experience as a Product (UX | UI) Designer

● Extensive experience in “full stack product design” — including business requirement analysis, UX design research, usability testing, wireframing, high fidelity design, and writing detailed product specification documents for engineering

● Extensive experience in Figma and design system ownership and best practices

● Track record of using AI to enhance design workflows with clear human judgment and outcome ownership

● Experience as a Product (UX | UI) Designer in designing for a B2B2C, SaaS product suite
