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