UX/UI Designer & Developer in Sacramento, California at Balanced Body Inc

At Balanced Body, we believe that movement changes lives. For nearly 50 years, we’ve been the global leader in Pilates equipment and education, blending mindful movement with world-class engineering. From our solar-powered headquarters in Sacramento, we manufacture premium equipment that empowers people to feel better and move more freely.

We are looking for a creative and technical UX/UI Developer to join our team. You will be responsible for the end-to-end user experience, from wireframing and prototyping to the final build-out on our web platforms. The ideal candidate is a visual storyteller who understands the "why" behind user behavior and has the technical chops to bring those designs to life in WordPress and Shopify.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Prototyping: Create high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes that prioritize user flow and brand aesthetics
• Platform Management: Build, customize, and maintain responsive web pages within WordPress and Shopify.
• UX Strategy: Execute user journey mapping, site mapping, and information architecture to ensure a seamless digital experience.
• Visual Asset Creation: Design high-quality digital assets, including banners, icons, and layout graphics.
• Collaboration: Work closely with stakeholders to translate business requirements into functional, beautiful web interfaces.

Core Requirements

• Figma Master: Expert-level proficiency in Figma for designing layouts, components, and design systems.
• Adobe Creative Suite: Strong skills in Photoshop and Illustrator for advanced image editing and vector creation.
• CMS Expertise: Proven experience building and managing sites within WordPress (Gutenberg/Elementor/Divi) and Shopify (Liquid-based themes and app integrations).
• Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating a clean aesthetic and a clear understanding of UX principles.
• Front-End Development: Proficiency in HTML5 and CSS3 to customize themes beyond the standard "out-of-the-box" settings.
• SEO/Performance: Understanding of how design choices impact page load speeds and search engine rankings.
• Platform Versatility: Familiarity with various mapping and whiteboarding tools (Miro, Lucidchart, etc.).

Why This Role?

You won't just be pushing pixels; you’ll be owning the final product. This role is perfect for a designer who loves to see their work live and functioning on the web, rather than just handed off in a static file.
