$88,000 a year, fully remote, open to anyone regardless of location. That's the headline for this UI UX designer opening, and the rest of the details are worth reading before you decide whether to apply.
What you'd actually be doing
- Research how users actually behave and what they need, not just what a brief assumes
- Build wireframes and interface designs from that research
- Run usability testing to catch what's not working before it ships
- Iterate on designs based on both user feedback and the business requirements driving the project
This isn't a role where you hand off a mockup and move on. Testing and iteration are baked into the process here, so expect to revisit work more than once as feedback comes in from real users, not just internal stakeholders.
Figma and Sketch are the primary tools, and you'll need to be fast in both. Beyond software, the job leans on wireframing skill, sharp user research instincts, prototyping ability, and a genuine feel for interaction design, meaning how something behaves when a person actually touches it, not just how it looks in a static frame.
What gets you through the door
A four-year degree is the education requirement, generally in a design discipline or something in the human-computer interaction space. What tends to matter more day-to-day is the portfolio: two years of professional work covering both UI and UX, not just one half of the discipline. A designer who's only ever done visual polish or only ever done research maps and flows will struggle here; this role sits at the intersection.
Naukri Mitra lists roles across a wide range of company sizes, and this one leans toward employers who treat design as a real function rather than an afterthought bolted onto engineering. That shows up in the benefits, too.
Compensation and perks
The base is $88,000 annually in USD. On top of that: health insurance, paid time off, and 401(k) matching are standard here. Some employers in this space go further with tuition reimbursement or a learning stipend for courses and certifications, which is worth asking about directly during an interview since it varies by company.
Remote work is the default setup, with no office requirement anywhere in the arrangement. For anyone comparing a UI/UX designer's remote salary to local, in-office offers, this one holds up well against the national average for someone at the two-year mark.
A few things worth knowing before you apply
Wireframes rarely survive first contact with real users unchanged, and that's normal, not a failure. If you've spent time researching how to become a remote UI UX designer, the honest answer is that strong fundamentals in research and testing matter more than mastery of any single tool, since tools change every couple of years and the underlying skill doesn't.
Portfolios get reviewed closely here. Include process, not just polished final screens. Show how a design changed after usability testing, or why a particular flow got simplified after user feedback contradicted an early assumption. Reviewers here pay close attention to that kind of reasoning, since it's a better read on how someone thinks than a set of polished final screens alone.
How to apply
Submit a resume and portfolio link. No cover letter required, though a couple of sentences about a project you're proud of doesn't hurt. Rolling review, so there's no fixed deadline attached to this listing, and earlier applicants tend to hear back sooner simply because there's less of a backlog to work through.
