The Senior UI/UX Developer joins the Computing Services team to lead the design and front-end implementation of intuitive, accessible, and responsive web applications. This role bridges user experience design and software engineering by transforming complex functional requirements into user-centered interface designs and production-ready code. Key responsibilities include designing user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes, establishing UI/UX best practices, and leading ADA and WCAG 2.1 compliance audits. The candidate will utilize modern JavaScript, HTML5, CSS/SASS, and various front-end frameworks while performing automated UI testing using Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright. The position requires expertise in ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and web security. This role specifically addresses the technical challenge of creating inclusive, accessible digital services within a higher education context.

What you'll do

  • Design intuitive user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes, and design systems for enterprise web applications.
  • Translate UI/UX designs into production-ready front-end code using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS/SASS, and modern frameworks.
  • Lead accessibility audits and remediations to ensure compliance with ADA and WCAG 2.1 standards.
  • Build and execute automated UI and integration tests using tools like Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.
  • Evaluate UX/UI requirements to provide technical estimations, scoping, and browser compatibility assessments.
  • Establish division-wide design patterns and mentor junior developers on accessibility and front-end best practices.
  • Maintain clear design documentation and ensure interface designs integrate cleanly with backend services.

What we're looking for

  • 5–7 years of professional experience in UI/UX design and modern front-end web development.
  • Solid JavaScript expertise with experience in modern build tools, package managers, and front-end frameworks.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and coding for web accessibility, including ARIA roles and screen reader compatibility.
  • Strong experience with automated web testing tools like Selenium or Cypress and unit/component testing frameworks.
  • Good understanding of web application security, including XSS prevention and secure state management.
  • Proven track record of guiding UI/UX initiatives and collaborating with backend engineers to document design systems.
  • Successful background check.
  • Broad familiarity with Java application stacks, RESTful APIs, or SQL/Oracle (preferred).
