No, not typically. However, it may be useful to hire a UI/UX Designer with some coding knowledge. This can improve your team’s workflow since a UI/UX Designer with programming skills will be better at understanding what’s possible when designing a product.

UX (User Experience) design refers to the high-level work of understanding the customer journey and translating this to the overall feel of a product. It also refers to the earliest stages of product design like prototyping, creating wireframes and testing this on the target audience.
