Figma UI Implementation Specialist — Spec-Driven, Zero-Interpretation (Institutional System)

United StatesContractJan 14, 2026

Share this job

Overview

We are hiring a Figma UI Implementation Specialist to execute a governed, institutional UI for an MVP system in the decision governance / compliance category.

This is not a product design role. This is not UX exploration. This is not creative work.

You will be implementing a predefined UI specification exactly, with zero interpretation, zero optimization, and zero design opinions.

If you enjoy precision, restraint, and building exactly what is specified — this role is a strong fit. If you enjoy improving UX, rethinking flows, or adding your own ideas — this role is not a fit.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Recreate a written institutional UI specification in Figma exactly
  • Implement:
  • Color tokens
  • Typography system
  • Spacing and grid
  • Locked component library
  • MVP screens
  • Treat Figma as a binding contract, not a design canvas
  • Follow strict naming conventions and component discipline
  • Apply copy verbatim (copy accuracy is critical)
  • Ask clarifying questions instead of guessing
  • Prepare the file for a formal UI freeze

What You Will NOT Be Doing

  • No UX research
  • No user journeys
  • No redesigns
  • No “improvements”
  • No visual exploration
  • No alternative versions
  • No design opinions

If something is not explicitly specified, you do not invent it.

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

You must have

  • Strong experience implementing design systems in Figma
  • Demonstrated ability to work from written specifications
  • Comfort with pixel-perfect, copy-exact execution
  • Experience with component libraries and variants
  • Attention to detail at the level of:
  • spelling
  • spacing
  • hierarchy
  • consistency
  • A working style that prioritizes compliance over creativity

Strongly Preferred Background

Experience in one or more of the following domains is a plus:

  • Fintech
  • Compliance / RegTech
  • Legal or governance software
  • Healthcare administration systems
  • Enterprise internal tools
  • Regulated or audit-sensitive platforms

Explicit Disqualifiers

Do not apply if you

  • Prefer to “improve UX”
  • Like to “make things more intuitive”
  • Enjoy design exploration
  • Want to challenge or reinterpret specs
  • Expect creative freedom
  • Feel constrained by strict rules

This role requires discipline, not creativity.

Evaluation Process

Shortlisted candidates will be given a small, neutral Figma implementation test to verify:

  • Fidelity to spec
  • Copy accuracy
  • Zero interpretation
  • Component discipline

This is a pass / fail test.

To Apply (Required)

Please answer this question at the top of your proposal:

“This role requires strict implementation of a written UI specification with zero interpretation or optimization. Is that the kind of work you enjoy?”

Proposals that do not answer this directly will not be reviewed.

Engagement Notes

  • NDA required before access to production materials
  • All work is STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
  • Figma file will become a frozen, authoritative artifact
  • Implementation fidelity is an acceptance criterion
