Staff UX Designer here.

Think about what you want out of a UX designer to make your work better.

What is their design process like? Do they involve engineering early on to be a part of the process? Do they have experience writing creative briefs or contributing to engineering design docs? What do their deliverables look like? Do they love prototyping with real data? Will they push you (FE) to go above and beyond on the projects you work on. And the other way around, how do they work around roadblocks like infra constraints and spaghetti code when they cant get their initial design vision built?

There are more questions you can ask, but again, you want to be trying to find out if you will enjoy working with them as a partner and not someone who just throws designs over a wall and is inflexible on engineering constraints.
