Key Responsibilities
You will design modular interface components capable of adapting to different menu structures and regional regulations. Mapping complete user flows for order placement will be central, with an emphasis on reducing friction and enhancing clarity. You will collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure layouts translate into reliable, cross-device patterns.
Analyzing session data and analytics will guide your refinement of screens, aiming to improve conversion rates and minimize drop-offs.
