This is not a pixel-pushing role where someone hands you a finished Figma and you turn it into markup. Were looking for one person who owns the entire experience — how it looks, how it feels, how it behaves — and can take it from a rough idea to a polished, shipped interface. You have taste, you have engineering depth, and you don’t need either one supplied to you.
If you’ve spent the last year building Claude, agents, and AI workflows into how you actually work — and you’re shipping 5–10x what you used to — this is for you. If “AI-native” is a line on your rsum but not a habit, it isn’t.
We work hard here: roughly 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. We’re saying that up front because it’s the truth and we’d rather you self-select than be surprised. This suits people in builder mode who want equity-grade ownership and the speed that comes with it. It does not suit people optimizing for balance right now, and that’s a completely valid choice — just not this role.
What you’ll own
You own the front of the product — the part users actually touch — from interaction design through shipped, performant code.
- Design and build interfaces: layout, interaction, motion, the whole feel. You decide what good looks like and you make it real.
- Own the design system — components, tokens, patterns — so the product stays consistent and fast to build on.
- Design UX for AI features: streaming responses, chat and agent interactions, loading and uncertainty states — the patterns most products still get wrong.
- Care about the details everyone else skips: accessibility, responsiveness, perceived performance, the 200ms that makes something feel premium.
- Ship it yourself and own it in production — not just in the mockup, not just in the PR.
How we expect you to work (the AI-native part)
This is the differentiator and we’re serious about it. For this role it cuts two ways:
- You use AI to build UI fast — Claude, agents, and AI tooling to scaffold components, iterate on layouts, generate and refactor code, and explore directions in minutes instead of days.
- You design good UX for AI — you understand how AI-native products behave (streaming, latency, non-determinism, agent loops) and design interfaces that make them feel trustworthy and fast.
- You exercise judgment over the output. AI accelerates you; it doesn’t have taste. You know when a generated layout is right and when to throw it away.
- Net effect: you ship polished interfaces at a pace that looks unreasonable to someone working the old way.
Tech stack
What you’ll be working in day to day:
- Core: React, Next.js, TypeScript
- Styling & systems: Tailwind CSS, modern CSS, design tokens, component libraries (Radix / shadcn), Storybook
- Interaction & motion: Framer Motion, CSS transitions, accessible interaction patterns
- State & data: TanStack Query, Zustand / Redux; consuming REST & GraphQL
- AI interfaces: Streaming UIs, chat / agent UX, LLM API integration on the client, MCP-aware
- Design: Figma — reading, refining, and originating designs
- Quality: Accessibility (WCAG), Core Web Vitals / performance, testing (Playwright, Vitest, RTL)
Must-have skills
- 5+ years building production frontends, at a senior level of craft and ownership.
- Expert React + Next.js + TypeScript — this is your home turf, not something you’re still learning.
- Strong CSS & design systems — Tailwind/modern CSS, responsive layouts, reusable components and tokens; you build interfaces that don’t look templated.
- Design sensibility / taste — you can own how the product looks and feels, and make it polished without a designer holding your hand. Figma fluency included.
- Accessibility & performance — you ship a11y-correct, fast interfaces and treat both as part of the work, not an afterthought.
- API integration & state — comfortable consuming REST/GraphQL and managing client state cleanly.
- AI-native UX — you’ve built (or can clearly design) interfaces for AI features: streaming, chat, agents, the in-between states.
- Startup background — early-stage, small teams, ambiguous specs, real ownership.
- Demonstrated AI-native workflow — concrete examples of using Claude/AI tools to 10x your design-and-build loop.
Good-to-have skills
- Motion design — advanced animation, micro-interactions, choreography that elevates the product.
- Backend reach — Node.js / API work; you can go full-stack when a feature needs it.
- Data viz — D3, charting, dashboards that are both accurate and beautiful.
- Canvas / WebGL — Three.js, Canvas, or richer graphical interfaces.
- Mobile — React Native or cross-platform experience.
- Design-tool depth — prototyping, user research instincts, or a prior product-design role.
- Brand & marketing surfaces — landing pages and sites that convert, not just app UI.
What you get
- Real ownership of the product’s look and feel — you set the bar for quality.
- A small, fast, high-trust team with no bureaucracy between you and shipping.
- The chance to define the product’s design language from the ground up rather than inherit someone else’s.
