Assistant Vice President, UX/UI Developer

The Reporting & Data Services team is a critical part of Antares, partnering across the organization to deliver technology, data and operational capabilities that support investment, investor and business processes.

The UX/UI Developer, AVP is a hands-on design and engineering role that sits at the intersection of creativity and technology. This individual is responsible for designing and developing intuitive, scalable and accessible user experiences across a portfolio of enterprise software applications — bringing both the creative vision to imagine what an experience could be and the technical capability to build it. The role combines user experience design, front-end engineering and design system leadership to deliver consistent, high-quality solutions that improve usability and productivity. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments, is energized by rapid prototyping sessions where ideas become tangible in hours rather than weeks, and can move fluidly from discovery and workflow analysis through wireframing, high-fidelity prototyping, usability validation and production-ready implementation. This individual will collaborate closely with business stakeholders, product owners, architects and software engineers enterprise-wide, and will help shape how Antares applies a consistent, user-centered approach to its applications — including emerging AI-enabled experiences.

Responsibilities

• •Collaborate with business stakeholders, product owners and engineering teams to understand user needs, workflows, business objectives and technical constraints.
• •Conduct user research, workflow analysis and usability testing to identify opportunities to simplify complex business processes.
• •Produce user journeys, information architecture, wireframes, flow diagrams, interactive prototypes and high-fidelity interface designs — including leading and participating in rapid prototyping sessions with business stakeholders to turn ambiguous ideas into testable concepts quickly.
• •Translate approved designs into responsive, production-quality user interfaces using modern front-end frameworks and technologies.
• •Develop, document and maintain a company-wide design system, including reusable components, interaction patterns, design tokens and accessibility guidance.
• •Partner with software engineers to ensure design fidelity, technical feasibility, maintainability and consistent implementation across applications.
• •Evaluate existing applications and recommend improvements based on user feedback, usability findings, accessibility requirements and product objectives.
• •Ensure user interfaces align with corporate brand standards, responsive design practices and applicable accessibility standards.
• •Contribute to front-end architecture, coding standards, peer reviews, quality assurance and continuous improvement practices.
• •Define and track experience measures such as task completion, adoption and user satisfaction to inform design priorities and continuous improvement.
• •Participate in Agile delivery activities, including planning, refinement, design reviews, demonstrations and retrospectives.
• •Remain current with UI/UX research, front-end technologies, design tooling and emerging interaction patterns, including AI-enabled experiences.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will bring a demonstrated track record of designing and shipping user experiences that people rely on every day. This role requires more than visual design or front-end coding alone; candidates should be able to show where they have taken a product from research and concept through implementation, and how their work measurably improved usability, consistency or productivity.

Required

• •Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• •5+ years of experience in UI/UX design, UX engineering, front-end engineering or a comparable hybrid role.
• •A portfolio demonstrating user-centered design, interaction design, prototyping, design systems and implemented digital products.
• •Proficiency with industry-standard prototyping and design tools — including Figma, Axure RP, Marvel and Balsamiq — and the judgment to select the right tool for the fidelity and speed the moment demands.
• •Strong knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 or SCSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, responsive design and component-based application development.
• •Experience developing modern web applications with React or a comparable front-end framework.
• •Experience creating or contributing to reusable design systems and component libraries.
• •Working knowledge of accessibility principles and the ability to incorporate accessibility into design and implementation decisions.
• •Experience working in Agile software delivery environments and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
• •Exceptional written, verbal and visual communication skills — including the ability to articulate design rationale, present creative decisions with confidence, and build alignment across business, engineering and leadership audiences who may not share a design vocabulary.
• •Demonstrated ability to operate with a high degree of independence across fast-moving, enterprise-scale projects — owning a workstream end-to-end, managing competing priorities without close supervision, and maintaining quality and momentum through ambiguity.

Preferred

• •Experience designing and developing enterprise software, workflow applications, dashboards or data-intensive products.
• •Experience with Storybook, design tokens, Git, GitHub, CI/CD practices and cloud-based application delivery.
• •Experience with data visualization and presenting complex information in clear, decision-oriented interfaces.
• •Experience designing conversational interfaces, copilots, AI-powered workflows or other emerging interaction models.
• •Familiarity with WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines, assistive technologies and automated and manual accessibility testing.
• •Experience using AI-assisted design and development tools, such as GitHub Copilot or Figma AI features, to accelerate prototyping and delivery.
• •Hands-on experience facilitating or participating in structured rapid prototyping sessions — such as design sprints, time-boxed ideation workshops or facilitated concept reviews — where producing a tangible, testable artifact within a compressed timeframe is the objective.
• •Experience in financial services, private credit, banking, capital markets or another regulated industry.

Skills

This role requires a balanced combination of creative craft and engineering capability. The successful candidate brings genuine aesthetic sensibility alongside technical depth — equally comfortable facilitating a discovery session with business users, producing a high-fidelity prototype that makes stakeholders say "yes, that's exactly it," and writing the production code that brings it to life.

• •Strong user research and workflow analysis skills; able to uncover real user needs, map complex processes and translate findings into clear design direction.
• •Strong interaction and visual design skills, including layout, typography, hierarchy and information architecture for data-dense enterprise applications.
• •Hands-on front-end engineering ability to build responsive, performant and maintainable interfaces with React, TypeScript and modern CSS.
• •Design systems thinking, with the ability to create reusable components, patterns and tokens that scale consistently across multiple applications and teams.
• •Practical accessibility expertise, applying inclusive design principles from early concepts through implementation and testing.
• •Rapid prototyping skills — working fluently across Figma, Axure RP, Marvel and Balsamiq to match fidelity to purpose — with the creative judgment to convert a rough idea into a testable concept quickly and the discipline to iterate based on evidence rather than opinion.
• •Practi
