Overview

AVER is a fast-growing SDVOSB that has achieved significant revenue growth over the past 5 plus years with much of our work focused on Data Analytics, Mission Support, IT Modernization and Biometrics. AVER is seeking a Part-Time Senior UX / UI Designer to design, develop and deliver responsive web application services in support of a complex digital marketplace for the DoD. The designer will simplify intricate procurement workflows into clear, intuitive, and professional interfaces, create responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile, ensure Section 508 accessibility compliance, and produce high-fidelity prototypes that guide development through to implementation. Join a collaborative team who values AVER’s mission, focus, and culture of delivering exceptional client service with great people and transformative technology solutions that ensure Government mission success.

Responsibilities

  • Organize the web application’s structure and navigation (information architecture), map out step-by-step user journeys, and create wireframes, produce simple, intuitive, and beautiful high-fidelity mockups and clickable prototypes
  • Comprehend advanced technical concepts and constraints and translate them into feasible UX; establish and maintain a modular design system (components, patterns, and reusable design tokens — e.g., colors, spacing, typography) aligned to responsive best practices
  • Drive accessibility from the start (Section 508 / WCAG 2.2 AA), including audits and remediation plans
  • Partner closely with product and engineering to see designs through to implementation (likely in React); provide dev-ready specs and assets
  • Run rapid usability tests, synthesize insights, and iterate designs based on evidence and stakeholder input
  • Document interaction patterns, empty / error states, and edge-case behaviors for workflow-heavy screens and forms
  • Conduct design QA in staging / preview environments; file clear tickets and acceptance criteria for fixes
  • Collaborate on data-visualization needs (dashboards / metrics) with clear, actionable visual hierarchies
  • Plan and manage a part-time cadence (10–20 hrs / week for first 2 months; 6 hrs / week for 6 months; 1 hr / week for 10 months), communicating risks, trade-offs, and timelines

Experience Requirements

  • 10+ years of professional work experience as a UX / UI Designer
  • Experience designing complex, workflow-heavy web applications
  • Experience simplifying multi-step processes into intuitive, low-friction UI
  • Experience following designs through the full lifecycle — from concept and prototype to live application
  • Experience creating information architecture, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, and interactive prototypes (e.g., Figma)
  • Experience establishing / maintaining a component library and reusable design tokens; familiarity with design handoff tools
  • Knowledge of React front-end constraints (state, componentization, responsive layout) to inform feasible designs
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards (Section 508 / WCAG 2.2 AA) and practical testing methods
  • Ability to partner with engineers and write dev-ready specs, edge-case definitions, and acceptance criteria
  • Ability to conduct and synthesize usability research and translate findings into iterations
  • Ability to collaborate within Agile ceremonies (e.g., backlog refinement, sprint reviews) and manage design backlog
  • Experience collaborating with stakeholders of varying technical and design backgrounds — from non-technical decision makers to developers — and translating complex design concepts into clear, actionable visuals and explanations

    • Desired Requirements

  • Experience as a React / TypeScript developer
  • Experience designing enterprise / Government Tech SaaS
  • Experience with ServiceNow’s default styling configurations and / or UI Builder
  • Ability to design effective data visualizations (tables, filters, charts) for operational dashboards
  • Experience with federal digital service standards
  • Ability to produce concise UX microcopy and content design for clarity and trust
  • Excellent collaboration skills and the ability to work in a team environment
  • Experience supporting the Department of Defense or other federal agencies
  • Knowledge of procurement / acquisition domain concepts (DoD or federal) and secure / government environments

    • Location

  • REMOTE (Must be local to Washington D.C. to attend ad hoc team and client meetings)

    • Security Requirements

  • Ability to obtain and maintain a government clearance (Secret- DOD)
  • This role supports a government agency which requires U.S. citizenship
