Mobile Designer

About the Role

The Mobile Designer owns end-to-end user experience of large-scale, government-grade mobile applications used by citizens and residents across Qatar. You will turn business and user needs into intuitive, accessible and bilingual (Arabic/English) mobile experiences on iOS and Android.
You will work inside agile delivery teams, from discovery and research through wireframes, high-fidelity UI and interactive prototypes, to developer hand-off and design QA. The role also contributes to a shared design system so that many services and mini-apps feel like one consistent product

Responsibilities

• Plan and run user research: interviews, surveys, usability tests and competitor reviews.
• Translate findings into personas, user journeys and clear problem statements.
• Work with Product Owners and Business Analysts to refine requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Produce user flows, information architecture, wireframes and high-fidelity mobile UI.
• Build interactive prototypes to test and present ideas to stakeholders.
• Design for both iOS (Human Interface Guidelines) and Android (Material Design) conventions.
• Deliver full bilingual designs, including right-to-left (RTL) Arabic layouts and typography.
• Design micro-interactions, motion, empty states, error states and edge cases.
• Create and maintain reusable components, tokens and patterns in the shared design system.
• Apply brand and visual identity guidelines consistently across services and mini-apps.
• Document usage rules so other designers and developers can apply them correctly.
• Ensure designs meet WCAG 2.1 AA and national digital accessibility standards.
• Review built screens against designs (design QA) and log defects before release.
• Use analytics and user feedback to improve live features after launch.
• Take part in agile ceremonies: refinement, sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives.
• Prepare developer-ready hand-off: specs, assets, redlines and annotated flows.
• Present design decisions clearly to technical teams, clients and senior stakeholders.
• Keep design work aligned with the sprint plan, Definition of Ready and Definition of Done.

Candidate Attributes

• Strong user empathy and attention to detail.
• Clear communicator who can explain and defend design decisions.
• Comfortable with feedback and fast iteration.
• Able to manage several features at once and meet sprint deadlines.
• Fluent English; Arabic is a strong advantage.
• Expert use of Figma, including auto-layout, components, variants and variables; Adobe Creative Suite or Sketch is an advantage.
• Experience with Figma prototyping, ProtoPie or Principle and with Lottie or After Effects for simple animations.
• Working knowledge of Apple Human Interface Guidelines, Google Material Design 3 and responsive layouts for phones and tablets.
• Practical knowledge of WCAG 2.1 AA, colour contrast, dynamic type and screen-reader accessibility (VoiceOver and TalkBack).
• Competence in usability testing, interview techniques and analytics tools such as Firebase or Mixpanel.
• Familiarity with Jira, Confluence and Miro, plus developer hand-off via Figma Dev Mode or Zeplin.
• Basic understanding of Flutter, React Native and native-platform constraints

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Interaction Design, Graphic Design, HCI, Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• At least 4 years designing native or cross-platform mobile applications, with at least two apps live on the App Store or Google Play.
• A strong portfolio showing mobile case studies: the problem, the process, the design and the outcome.
• Hands‑on experience designing bilingual Arabic/English interfaces with RTL support.
• Experience working in agile/Scrum teams alongside developers.
• Experience on government, banking, telecom or other large-scale consumer applications is desirable.
• Experience with “super app” or multi-service platforms and mini-app ecosystems is desirable.
• Exposure to digital identity, payments or secure-login journeys is desirable.
• GCC or Qatar market experience is desirable.
• UX certification, for example Nielsen Norman Group, Google UX or IxDF, is advantageous.
