UX/UI - Team Lead

The first three are co-equal and non-negotiable - the core of the profile is the intersection of UX × Front-End × AI.

• UX/UI: solid product design craft - interaction design, flows, and patterns.
• Frontend: sufficient knowledge to reason about component architecture, read and review code (Vue 3

preferred), ensure Figma ↔ code parity, and dialogue as a peer with developers. Technical leadership level;

autonomous development in production is not expected.

• AI-assisted design - proven and with depth: demonstrable experience (portfolio or concrete cases) on

designing and conducting end-to-end AI-assisted design and implementation workflows - tool orchestration,

prompt/context engineering, integration via MCP - and mature judgment on AI output

both sides (design and code). Real practice, not occasional use; pragmatism, not evangelism.

• Systems thinking and fluency in the Design System: use the Design System and its tokens well and anticipate the

impact of a design decision across multiple products.

• Product thinking: framing the right problems and linking design decisions to business results and

user value, not just executing requests.

• Creation (0→1): demonstrated ability to shape new products and features from ambiguous context -

discovery, hypothesis definition, and vision.

• Evolution: growing existing products iteratively, prioritizing by impact and deciding based on

data and feedback.

• Experience in people management: 1:1s, feedback, career development, and performance management.
• Change leadership: having led an existing team through a change of method or

tools without breaking ongoing delivery.

• Facilitation of workshops and group dynamics.
• Autonomy to make technical design decisions and defend them with clear reasoning.
• Communication with distinct audiences: designers, developers, project management, and business stakeholders.

• Experience in digital banking, fintech, or regulated products.
• Experience building or evolving a Design System at a system level (not just consumption).
• Familiarity with code ↔ design bridging tooling (Code Connect, Style Dictionary, Tokens Studio) or automated

token pipelines.

• A track record of having designed or evolved a design process/method - not just following one.
• Fluent Portuguese (Portugal); professional English.

· 100% remote work with flexibility and autonomy.

· Experienced, united functional team with a voice in the product.

· Challenging projects with real impact in an evolving sector.

· Relaxed environment, no politics, focused on delivering value.

· A culture of mutual aid, continuous improvement, and respect for people's time.

The Team Lead - UX/UI ensures that the design team delivers with quality and coherence in a working mode

assisted by AI, without acceleration costing rigor, consistency, or compliance. It combines four dimensions:

• Design leadership at the intersection of UX × Frontend: sustaining the quality bar both in design and in its

product-level implementation, and rigorously judging the output - of design and of frontend - that AI-assisted

workflows produce.

• Driving the transition to AI-assisted design: bringing own and deep AI practice to operate and

deepen internal workflows, orchestrate the team's AI tools, and maintain human judgment

as a differentiator in every phase.

• Product vision: contributing to the creation and evolution of products - framing the right problems and linking

design to business results and user value.

• Team management and development: leading designers through method changes, developing

people and maintaining a culture of high-bar critique.

• Sustaining the quality bar on the team's design output - flows, screens, and journeys - rejecting what

looks polished but is subtly wrong.

• Reviewing the front-end implementation of features produced by the team (including AI-generated output), ensuring

that it faithfully executes the intended design and is technically sound.

• Arbitrating design and interaction decisions within the team's product scope, escalating to the Design System

Lead everything that touches the Design System architecture or governance.

• Ensuring the correct and consistent adoption of the Design System by the team and forwarding component

needs and gaps to the Design System Lead.

• Ensuring that team designs meet regulatory requirements at the experience level, in coordination with

the Design System Lead - who ensures compliance at the component and system level.

• Operating the internal AI-assisted design methodology on a day-to-day basis (after onboarding) and identifying where

workflows fail in real projects, closing the gap.

• Orchestrating the team's AI tools (integrated assistants, MCP for Figma, and documentation), with

pragmatism - knowing when to apply and when not to.

• Deepening and documenting workflows that integrate AI reliably, instead of ad hoc use.
• Leading the UX/Design team: objectives, performance monitoring, and professional development.
• Conducting regular 1:1s, providing continuous feedback, and managing the identity anxiety that the transition to AI provokes.
• Managing capacity, balancing reactive work (project deliveries) and proactive work (method and

system evolution).

• Participating in the recruitment and onboarding of new members.
• Facilitating discovery, framing, and validation sessions and workshops, including articulation with the

Functional Analysis side in joint sessions.

• Acting as an interface with front-end developers, analysts, and project managers, and managing the relationship with banking

stakeholders.

• Documenting decisions, rationale, and usage guidelines.

• Design: Figma (components, variables, prototyping)
• Frontend: Vue 3 (reading and reviewing; autonomous development is not expected)
• Management: Asana (backlog) and Notion (project documentation)
• AI: Claude, integrated into the team's workflows (Claude Projects, MCP for Figma and Notion) and the

internal Lumen methodology

• Versioning: Git (DS and product repositories)
