Product Designer

AAPC•Salt Lake City, UT

About The Position

AAPC is seeking a product designer who builds, not just designs. This remote role involves taking early-stage concepts and rapidly producing functional, AI-assisted prototypes using the company's existing codebase and design system. The focus is on turning ambiguity into working software, owning the end-to-end UX process from discovery to iteration, and testing designs with real users. The ideal candidate will have strong UX fundamentals, be comfortable working with AI-assisted development, and be adept at communicating design decisions across different teams. This is not a visual design or brand role, but rather one focused on user experience and rapid prototyping within an established design system.

Requirements

4+ years of professional UX or product design experience, with a focus on shipped products and critical thinking.
Demonstrated fluency in working with AI tools as part of the design process (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Figma Make, v0).
Working fluency in a codebase: ability to read components, wire up screens, understand a design system expressed in code, and work in a branch without causing issues.
Demonstrated UX substance, including research, flows, IA, user journeys, and usability testing.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Strong Figma skills.
Real intellectual curiosity and initiative to find answers.
Hands-on experience with A/B testing and data-informed iteration.

Nice To Haves

Experience with VWO or a comparable A/B testing platform.
Familiarity with Jira and agile product development.
Design system contribution experience, especially where design tokens and code stayed in sync.
Front-end fundamentals (React, Tailwind, or similar) beyond AI assistance.
Range across multiple industries or product categories.
Exposure to healthcare, education and e-learning, professional associations, or membership organizations.

Responsibilities

Turn ambiguity into working software.
Build prototypes in the company's codebase using AI assistance.
Hold the line on the design system by using existing components and extending them deliberately when necessary.
Own UX end to end, including discovery, flows, IA, interaction design, launch, and post-launch iteration.
Design and run usability studies and A/B tests.
Design for a demanding audience of working professionals.
Use Figma for system contributions, alignment artifacts, and detailed handoff.
Partner with product, marketing, and engineering teams, presenting thinking in clear, accessible language.
