Your Route Into UI/UX

At Via Logic, we believe thoughtful design is more than creating visually appealing interfaces - it’s about building intuitive, accessible, and meaningful experiences that help users accomplish their goals with confidence. We’re looking for a UI/UX and Design Analyst who is passionate about user-centered design, research, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with users, engineers, stakeholders, and fellow design professionals to lead design sprints, conduct user research, develop wireframes and prototypes, and translate complex requirements into clear, functional, and engaging digital experiences. You’ll help bridge the gap between design and development while ensuring web-based and client-server applications meet user needs, accessibility expectations, and applicable federal standards.

This role also provides the opportunity to contribute to mission-critical systems supporting the Department of Homeland Security while expanding your experience across the full design lifecycle - from discovery and usability testing through implementation, iteration, and continuous product improvement.

• Long-Term UI/UX Vision:Develop both short-term and long-term UI/UX visions for products, ensuring consistency and coherence across the user experience. Collaborate with developers and analysts to implement approved designs.
