We're looking for a senior designer who can also think and work like an engineer someone who lives at the intersection of design and code, with deep AI experience across both. This isn't a traditional design role. We need someone who has shipped in environments where AI tools (Lovable, Cursor, Copilot, Figma AI) are part of the daily workflow on both sides design and engineering. You'll help us define what "design" looks like when PMs prototype with AI before design touches a project, and you'll bridge the gap between prototype and production code by understanding both worlds deeply.

What You'll Do

Redesign the design workflow Help us define where design fits in a process where PMs create clickable prototypes with AI tools before handoff. Establish the new role of design as quality controller, system thinker, and refinement layer. Build and maintain the design system Ensure our component library, tokens, and patterns are robust enough that AI-generated prototypes get closer to production quality from the start. QA prototype fidelity Review AI-generated and PM-built prototypes, translate them into production-ready Figma files, and establish quality gates for engineering handoff. Introduce AI-native design tooling Bring your experience with AI design tools into our workflow. Show the team what's possible and what's practical. Train PMs on how to prompt better prototypes. Define standards and templates Create reusable prompt templates, prototype review checklists, and design-to-Figma translation workflows that scale across the team. Collaborate across Product, Solutions, and Engineering Work closely with PMs building prototypes, engineers shipping code from those prototypes, and stakeholders reviewing the output. Review and improve AI-generated code quality Evaluate the frontend code that AI tools produce from prototypes. Identify patterns where AI output needs human refinement, and help engineers establish review standards for AI-assisted PRs. Help define AI-assisted engineering workflows Bring hands-on experience with Cursor, Copilot, and Claude/Junie into our engineering process. Help the team build prompt templates, testing patterns, and code review standards for AI-generated code. Bridge prototype to production Ensure what gets built matches what was validated. You understand both the Figma file and the React component and can spot when they diverge. What We're Looking For 5+ years of product design experience, with at least 1–2 years actively using AI tools in your design workflow (not just experimenting actually shipping with them). Working knowledge of frontend engineering You can read and evaluate React/TypeScript code, understand component architecture, and have an informed opinion on whether AI-generated code is production-ready. You don't need to be a full-time engineer, but you need to be dangerous. Hands-on experience with AI tools across design and code Lovable, v0, Bolt for prototyping. Cursor, Copilot, or Claude for code. You've used both sides, not just one. Strong design systems background You've built or maintained a component library at scale. Comfort with ambiguity This role is about defining a new process, not following an existing one. You need to be opinionated and adaptable. Experience in B2B SaaS or platform products Understanding complex, multi-stakeholder workflows is important. HR tech, fintech, or compliance-heavy domains are a plus. Excellent communication skills You'll be working with PMs, engineers, and leadership. You need to articulate design decisions clearly and push back when needed.
