Requirements

Portfolio showing high-craft visual and interaction design - dense layouts, multi-step workflows, and a clear, consistent point of view.
Deep Figma proficiency - variables, auto-layout, variants, prototyping, and component library hygiene.
Comfort designing AI-native UX - you understand the unique challenges of surfaces where outputs are probabilistic, not deterministic.
Facility with data-dense UIs - tables, filtering and sorting, bulk actions, and information-heavy layouts that still feel approachable.
Strong user research instincts - you know how to run interviews, synthesize qualitative signal, and connect what you learn to design decisions.
Accessibility proficiency - WCAG, ARIA, color/contrast, and motion sensitivity.
Experience contributing to or building design systems - you understand component architecture and know how to design for reuse.
Product mindset - you have strong opinions, communicate your rationale clearly, and know when to push back and when to ship.

Nice To Haves

Visual design chops and brand sensibility - a plus when work occasionally extends beyond product UI.

Responsibilities

Own design end-to-end for a core product area - from early discovery through high-fidelity Figma design - partnering closely with Product Management and Engineering throughout.
Lead customer discovery sessions - running usability tests, digging into workflows, and translating what you learn into design decisions that shape the product.
Design intuitive UX patterns for complex interaction paradigms - multi-step automation workflows, AI-generated content, data-dense tables, and high-stakes decision surfaces.
Design for AI-native experiences - uncertainty states, intervention affordances, streaming content, and graceful error handling.
Build and maintain Figma component libraries and design system assets that give Engineering a coherent, scalable visual language.
Advocate for accessibility - WCAG compliance, color and contrast, keyboard navigation, and inclusive design practices.
Scope design work pragmatically - making smart tradeoffs between craft and delivery velocity without compromising correctness.
