Position

Design Expert

Role Responsibilities

  • Construct scenarios spanning rapid prototyping, design system development, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration.
  • Build tasks across

AI-assisted application development

, natural-language-to-code workflows, and rapid prototyping (

Vibecoding

); and

UX/UI design

, design systems, and component libraries.

  • Develop scenarios involving tools such as

AI coding assistants

(Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Replit) for the Vibecoding subdomain, and

Figma

, prototyping tools (

Framer

), and design systems tooling for the Design subdomain.

  • Apply subdomain-specific methodologies (iterative prompt-driven development for Vibecoding; human-centered design principles and heuristic evaluation for Design).
  • Author rubrics that distinguish authentic senior-level product judgment from generic tutorial-level or template-driven work.

Must-Have

5+ years

working as a product designer, design lead, or AI-native engineer/vibecoder at a major product- or design-forward company. •

Direct ownership of product design systems or AI-assisted development

workflows shipped to production. •

Fluency in vibecoding

or design tooling, plus understanding of user-centered design principles and rapid prototyping practices.

Preferred

•

A portfolio of shipped work is strongly preferred in place of a formal credential.
