UX/UI Designer

Robots and Pencils

About The Position

Let’s be direct: most UX/UI job postings describe someone who takes requirements, draws wireframes, adds color, and hands things off to developers. That’s not this role. We believe UX is strategy. It’s the ability to sit across from a client who can’t articulate what they need, synthesize their ambiguity into a vision they couldn’t see themselves, and then build a path from proof-of-concept to pilot to phased rollout that actually ships. The “UI” part isn’t about making things pretty — it’s about making complex systems feel effortlessly simple. You’re a builder, a strategist, and a translator. You move fluidly between research synthesis, rapid prototyping, design systems, and client conversations. You don’t wait for someone to tell you what to make — you figure out what needs to exist and then you make it real.

Requirements

AI-Assisted Prototyping Fluency: You’ve integrated AI tools into your design workflow— not as a novelty, but as a core capability. You can go from concept to functionalprototype in hours, not weeks. You’re comfortable prompting, iterating, and pushing the boundaries of what these tools can produce.
Research Synthesis Muscle: You can plan and conduct user interviews.
You don’t just document findings — you own the full loop from facilitating the research to synthesizing it into a strategic narrative.
Ambiguity Navigation: You thrive when the brief is vague, the stakeholders disagree, and the path forward isn’t obvious.
Strategic Framing: You think in terms of phased approaches, not final deliverables.
You can articulate the big vision and then break it into the proof-of-concept that proves value, the pilot that builds confidence, and the rollout that scales.
You present research and strategy to stakeholders without drowning them in process

Responsibilities

Work directly with clients, product owners, and stakeholders to uncover the real problem beneath the stated one
Cut through noise and competing priorities to define the “just right” solution — not the over-engineered ideal, not the quick fix, but the pragmatic path that ships and scales
Frame product strategy as POC → Pilot → Phased Rollout, helping clients see the big vision while grounding them in what’s achievable now
Use AI-assisted prototyping tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or your weapon of choice) to vibe code functional prototypes that go far beyond static mockups
Generate interactive experiences that stakeholders can touch and react to — not just screens to squint at
Leverage AI to accelerate research synthesis, turning interview transcripts and messy data into actionable personas, journeys, and opportunity map
Prototyping UI code in collaboration with the AI Engineer and Full-Stack Developer
Understanding how users interact with AI tools, doing research along the way with end users to understand their trust/sentiment/willingness to interact with AI and adapting the UI to encourage the right behaviors
Understanding AI concepts
Work in Figma and Cursor/Claude Code among other technical tools
