Tools, Frameworks & Implementation Proficiency Topics
Practical proficiency with industry-standard tools and frameworks including project management (Jira, Azure DevOps), productivity tools (Excel, spreadsheet analysis), development tools and environments, and framework setup. Focuses on hands-on tool expertise, configuration, best practices, and optimization rather than conceptual knowledge. Complements technical categories by addressing implementation tooling.
Design Tools and Figma Proficiency
This topic assesses practical mastery of modern design tools and collaborative workflows, with emphasis on Figma capabilities and related automation. Candidates should demonstrate efficient use of components, variants, auto layout, constraints, prototyping features, shared libraries, design tokens, and plugin ecosystems. Expect questions on versioning and branching patterns, strategies to automate repetitive work, producing developer ready artifacts, and how tooling choices enable faster iteration and consistent implementation across teams.
Figma Proficiency and Workflow
Focuses on practical skills and workflows in Figma for designing, prototyping, and collaborating at scale. Topics include creating and organizing components and variants, using auto layout and constraints for responsive designs, building interactive prototypes to communicate behavior, managing shared libraries and design tokens, collaborating through comments and version control, and preparing clear specifications and assets for developer handoff. Candidates should be able to explain how they structure files and libraries to improve efficiency and maintain consistency across projects.
Design Tools and Handoff Documentation
Encompasses proficiency with user interface and visual design tools and best practices for preparing deliverables for implementation. Candidates should demonstrate tool fluency with platforms such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, describing workflows for organizing layers, using components and variants, applying and maintaining design systems, and managing responsive layouts. They should explain how they create interactive prototypes, specification documents, design tokens, and asset packages so that engineers can implement designs accurately. Also include asset naming conventions, export settings, versioning, accessibility considerations, communication strategies for developer handoff, and how to ensure traceability between design decisions and implementation requirements.
