UX/UI Designer

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.
