- Use AI tooling throughout exploration, prototyping, and, where useful, implementation.
- Connect individual screens to broader user workflows and business outcomes.
Requirements

- Hands-on experience using AI tools such as Figma Make, Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent in real work.
- Experience building, governing, and evolving design systems in Figma and in a code repository.
- Systematic approach to designing for scale and consistency while balancing product, business, and user perspectives.
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams with developers, marketing, product managers, and internal product builders.
- Strong self-direction and independent judgment in ambiguous situations.
Nice to have

- Ability to implement or adjust designs in code.
- Experience as a solo or first designer at a startup.
- Marketing or brand design experience across landing pages, campaign assets, decks, or product marketing surfaces.
