Join cBEYONData’s digital transformation team as a UI/UX Designer on a high-visibility federal contract modernization effort. In this role, you’ll partner with product owners, analysts, and engineers to craft intuitive, accessible user experiences that drive adoption, improve mission outcomes, and reinforce SMX’s reputation for excellence in government digital services. If you’re passionate about solving complex usability challenges and seeing your designs deployed at scale, this is the opportunity to make a real impact.

 Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Create and maintain a consistent, scalable design system (UI components, pattern library) that aligns with both SMX brand standards and federal guidelines.
  • Ensure all designs meet Section 508 and WCAG accessibility requirements; partner with QA to validate compliance.
  • Iterate rapidly on designs based on user feedback, analytics data, and stakeholder reviews—balancing innovation with usability and technical feasibility.
  • Facilitate design workshops and presentations, clearly communicating rationale and advocating for user-centered outcomes.
  • Participate actively in Agile/Scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, backlog grooming, demos) to keep design work tightly integrated with development cycles.

 Required Skills/Experience:

  • Active Secret security clearance or ability to obtain U.S. Government security clearance (requires U.S. citizenship)
  • Bachelor’s degree in HCI, Graphic Design, Interaction Design, or a related field.
  • 3–5 years of hands-on UI/UX design experience—portfolio must demonstrate end-to-end user-centered design solutions.
  • Expert proficiency in Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD (including prototyping and developer hand-off).
  • Solid experience conducting and applying results from user research and usability testing.
  • Understanding of Section 508 and WCAG accessibility standards, with proven experience implementing accessible designs.
  • Demonstrated ability to work within Agile/Scrum environments—comfortable collaborating with developers on implementation.
  • Strong visual design skills: typography, color theory, layout, and information hierarchy.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to present complex ideas clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

 Desired Skills/Experience:

  • Familiarity with the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) or other federal design frameworks.
  • Experience building or maintaining component libraries (e.g., Storybook) and design tokens.
  • Basic front-end development knowledge (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to facilitate closer designer–developer collaboration.
  • Exposure to React or other modern JavaScript frameworks.
  • Experience leveraging analytics tools (Google Analytics, Hotjar, FullStory) to inform design decisions.
  • Prior experience on federal or highly regulated digital modernization projects.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
