About this role:
You are a versatile designer who thrives with ambiguity, who can move at fal speed while keeping the UI fast + consistent.
Must Have
Strong product UI/visual craft + portfolio of shipped work.
Experience designing web AND mobile product experiences: can create dedicated mobile screens (not just “responsive web”) and understands mobile UI patterns, navigation paradigms, constraints, and edge cases.
Solid design systems experience (components/tokens/variants/docs + working with engineering for adoption).
Comfortable owning features end-to-end (flows → UI → handoff → QA) in a high-velocity startup.
AI-assisted / “vibe coding” prototyping mindset (uses modern tools to prototype quickly; production code not required, but code-based prototyping is a plus).
Can run scrappy user research/testing and iterate based on customer feedback.
Accessibility + responsive fundamentals (but again: must also design true mobile experiences).
Strong cross-functional communication; can define success metrics with PM/Eng and iterate post-launch.
Key responsibilities
Own end-to-end product design for features (problem framing → flows → UI → states/edge cases → handoff → QA → iterate).
Design across web + true mobile experiences (dedicated mobile screens + mobile patterns; not just responsive web).
Help build/maintain the design system (components/tokens/patterns/docs) and drive adoption with engineering.
Prototype fast (Figma + AI/vibe-coding tools when useful) to validate direction.
Partner tightly with Eng/PM to ship quickly, keep quality high, and improve post-launch with feedback.
Do lightweight user research/testing (scrappy usability checks, customer calls, quick validation).
Nice-to-have “extra output” when needed: Google Slides decks + light graphic/brand assets.
Nice to have
Familiarity with generative media / LLMs / image (or video) models and the UX patterns around prompts, parameters, evaluation, latency/quality tradeoffs.
Front-end literacy (React/TypeScript/CSS) and/or Storybook-style component workflows.
Willing to support lightweight GTM/design needs sometimes: pitch decks (Google Slides) and basic graphic design (simple visuals, social cards, light marketing assets).
Any experience (or interest) in graphic design / brand design (doesn’t need to be a brand lead—just enough taste/skill to help when needed).
