Staff UX/UI Designer at Chaos Industries · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

CHAOS is looking for a Staff UX Designer to establish and lead the UX function from the ground up. This is a staff-level role: you'll operate with significant autonomy and influence, setting the direction for how UX is practiced across the company rather than working within an established function. You'll bring best-in-class UX practices to CHAOS — research, interaction design, information architecture, and usability — and apply them to the tools and interfaces our teams rely on. You'll work closely with engineering day-to-day, shaping how products and internal tools are designed from a user's perspective, while also building the foundation (processes, standards, research practices) that the UX function will run on as it grows. Over time, you'll be expected to bring in user research capabilities as part of maturing that foundation.
This role is for an experienced, senior individual contributor who wants to define a function, not just execute within one — someone who can operate independently at a high level, exercise strong judgment with minimal oversight, and set the bar for UX at CHAOS from day one.
Lead UX design for key products and internal tools, from early concept through shipped experience, operating as the senior-most UX voice in the room
Partner closely with engineering to design and refine interfaces, workflows, and interactions, balancing user needs with technical constraints
Introduce and establish user research practices at CHAOS — usability testing, user interviews, and other methods to ground design decisions in real user needs
Define and advocate for UX best practices, standards, and processes across the company, with the authority to set direction
Build the foundation for a growing UX function, including processes, standards, and practices that can scale over time
Translate complex, technical, or novel workflows into intuitive, well-designed user experiences
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, product, leadership) to align on priorities and advocate for the user's perspective in high-level decision-making
Create and maintain design systems/UX standards that scale across products as the company grows
Communicate design rationale and research findings clearly and persuasively to technical and non-technical audiences, including leadership
