AI Summary

You will design and implement high-quality, AI-native user interfaces while owning the evolution of the design system and component libraries. The role involves rapid prototyping, writing production-ready code, and collaborating closely with stakeholders to build complex developer-facing products.

About You

You have an eye, you can't unsee bad spacing or a muddled information hierarchy, and you take pride in writing high-quality, high-performance code. You're AI-first by conviction, not by mandate: you already build with AI-native editors and you see them as an amplifier of solid skills, not a threat to them. You're energized rather than bored by enterprise, technical, developer-facing product, because making the complicated feel simple is the whole job. And you want the range and ownership that only exist when one person owns the whole front-end.


What you'll do

  • Design compelling, clear UI/UX and produce high-quality mocks that demonstrate strong product taste.
  • Turn design mocks (yours or others’) into pixel-perfect, production-ready frontends using modern web tech.
  • Iterate on existing interfaces by improving layout, interaction quality, motion, and design consistency.
  • Work closely with engineers, partners, and stakeholders. You’ll support the design and implementation of features end-to-end.
  • Rapidly prototype and “vibe code” to explore ideas, gather feedback, and iterate quickly.
  • Contribute to design systems, component libraries, and patterns that raise the bar for frontend quality
  • You will own and evolve the design system: the components, tokens, and patterns that let everyone ship UI fast
  • You will use Cursor and Claude to build technologies that are AI-first
  • You will prototype your own ideas and ship production polish end to end
  • You will design the interface layer for AI-native workflows: streaming, long-running agent runs, tool-calling surfaces
  • You will code! A lot!
  • You will do code reviews


Required Skills

  • Hands-on experience fluency prompting and building AI-native development tools like (Claude Code, Cursor) as part of their daily workflow—and genuinely excited to use them to move fast on early ideas (this is core to how this team works)
  • Cares deeply about polish. Defensible, articulate taste in typography, spacing, layout, micro-interactions, transitions, and information density.
  • Strong practical skills in modern web technologies (TypeScript, Vue, React or equivalent), with real experience building and owning a design system in code.
  • Contributed to open source UI libraries or design resources.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills working in a fully distributed team
  • Sense of ownership and responsibility


Preferred Skills

  • Strong UX and visual design skills with proven taste and craftsmanship.
  • Ability to move fluidly between design tools (Figma, etc.) and frontend code.
  • Background in internal tools, admin dashboards, or developer-facing products.
  • Fluency prompting and building with AI-native code editors (Claude Code, Cursor) as part of your daily workflow
  • Instincts for prompt engineering and LLM integration, and for how model behavior (latency, streaming, uncertainty, failure modes) should surface in the UI
  • Experience building AI-native interface patterns: streaming output, agentic or long-running tasks, or tool-calling surfaces
  • Comfort designing or consuming APIs that serve front-end applications, clean contracts, performance, reliability at the boundary
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills working in a fully distributed team
  • Sense of ownership and responsibility


About the Opportunity

  • This is a full-time opportunity
  • We are 100% remote (work from anywhere!)
  • This role is open to candidates who can work with at least 3 hours' overlap with Eastern Time Zone
