UI/UX Engineer (Top Secret/SCI with agreement to obtain CI Poly Clearance Required)

North Point Technology is looking to hire a UI/UX Engineer to join a mission-critical Intelligence Community program focused on delivering modern, high-impact user interfaces that enable mission users to interact with sophisticated systems and data more effectively. This position requires an active Top Secret/SCI clearance with the ability to successfully pass a Polygraph examination. You will work at the intersection of user experience, interface engineering, and mission requirements, collaborating with software engineers, systems engineers, product owners, testers, and mission stakeholders to deliver responsive, accessible, and technically sound front-end solutions in an Agile environment.

Lead the design and engineering of modern, intuitive, and responsive user interfaces for mission-critical web applications. Translate user needs, mission workflows, and functional requirements into effective UI/UX solutions. Develop reusable UI components, patterns, and design standards to promote consistency and maintainability across the program. Build and refine interactive prototypes and proof-of-concept interfaces to validate concepts with stakeholders. Partner with software engineering teams to ensure designs are implemented accurately and with appropriate performance considerations. Evaluate existing interfaces and identify opportunities to improve usability, accessibility, and responsiveness. Collaborate with test engineers to validate UI functionality and user workflows. Participate in Agile ceremonies including PI Planning, backlog refinement, sprint planning, demonstrations, and retrospectives.
