UX Designer:
Responsible for producing user experience prototypes that require coding.

Experience: As a hybrid between a developer and UX designer, the work of a UX engineer includes both UX principles and engineering tasks.
Here’s a breakdown of what a UX engineer can be expected to do the following:
- Plan and design web pages and apps: A UX engineer uses UX Principles to create digital products.
This can mean using wireframes, prototypes, and design tools to create blueprints for what a website or app will look like.
- Program the front-end: UX engineers are unique from UX designers because they can code. A UX engineer will use front-end programming languages, like HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, to create layouts, interactive features, or execute other design ideas.
- Collaborate with UX and engineering teams: As a professional with both design and programming abilities, UX engineers often act as the bridge between the two teams. UX engineers can work with designers, back-end engineers, and writers to develop products.
They may also conduct user testing, A/B testing, and other forms of research in collaboration with the UX team.
Duties: Create and carry out user research plans (e.g., surveys, interviews, focus groups, etc.), including, but not limited to:
- Planning and facilitating design thinking workshops (e.g., journey mapping, user needs modeling, etc.)
- Creating UX deliverables (e.g., sketches, user stories, user flows, interactive prototypes, etc.)
- Planning and conducting usability testing
- Working closely with developers to bring designs to life and iteratively improve solutions
- Collecting quantitative and qualitative UX metrics that support usability validation
- Design for multi-device web, iOS, and Android contexts.
