About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Conduct customer and internal user research - interviews, surveys, usability testing - and synthesize findings into a clear understanding of user needs, motivations, and friction points that directly inform product direction
Validate that the product is delivering the outcomes customers actually want and carry that evidence into product decisions alongside Technical Product Managers and engineers
Build functioning prototypes in code rather than static mockups, so that ideas can be tested in something close to the real experience - using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code to move from insight to a testable build quickly
Produce functioning front-end code where it is the right path to a working result, with a clear handoff point where your output is reviewed by engineering before it reaches production
Define interaction patterns, hierarchy, and visual design directly in the medium customers will use, and iterate based on what testing reveals - holding the standard for accessibility and quality throughout
Collaborate with Technical Product Managers and engineers to align prototypes and builds with technical constraints, product goals, and business outcomes
Contribute to key AI-powered product initiatives, including Bill Capture tooling that extracts and processes utility data, and the Watts AI agent experience.

Requirements

What you’ll need

3+ years of UX design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates both strong visual craft and a research-informed design process
Hands-on comfort building in code, including front-end work, and demonstrates fluency with AI-assisted development tools for rapid prototyping and refinement
Sound judgment about what to build and what to leave out
Working knowledge of accessibility standards and an eye for the difference between a prototype that merely functions and one that is sound enough to build on
Experience working within complex, data-heavy product environments - fintech, energy, enterprise SaaS, or CRM experience is strongly preferred
Outgoing and proactive: you ask questions early, surface issues quickly, and build trust across engineering, product, and business teams
A healthy skeptic who challenges assumptions with evidence, balances assertiveness with flexibility, and holds a point of view without losing sight of user needs
Genuinely empathetic - you care about the people you're designing for and bring that care into every research conversation and design decision
Energized by fast pace and change; comfortable operating without a complete playbook and motivated by ambiguity
Bachelor's degree preferred, ideally in design, HCI, or a related field; equivalent experience accepted
A design portfolio is required.
