You have deep experience leveraging AI in all phases of your design process including grounding your prototypes directly in our codebase and design system rather than generating disconnected concepts and youre comfortable building and scrapping fast rather than getting attached to a single direction.
- Master high-complexity workflows. Own the end-to-end design of deeply technical AI-enabled workflows including third-party vendor risk assessments automated security questionnaires and continuous monitoring.
- Ground decisions in evidence. Run usability tests synthesize behavioral and product analytics (e.g. FullStory Pendo) and fold research findings into your design iterations.
- Design for enterprise constraints. Systematically design for complex B2B paradigms including role-based access control multi-tenant environments and complex data-filtering mechanisms treating these as design material rather than obstacles.
- Bridge design and code with AI prototyping. Work directly against our codebase and design system using Claude to produce interactive prototypes that are anchored in how our product actually works not invented from scratch. Communicate design intent through prompting.
- Work AI-native across your design process. Leverage AI to synthesize research rapidly visualize concepts explore edge cases and validate functional prototypes to compress iteration cycles without lowering the craft bar.
- Strengthen our design system. Contribute to our design system to ensure durable patterns and machine readability for AI prototyping at scale with accessibility as a default (WCAG 2.2).

- Experience designing AI-enabled features that earn user trust fail gracefully when the model is wrong and keep users in control of the outcome.
- Hands-on front-end capability beyond prototyping. You have written HTML CSS and component code that shipped and you can contribute to a design system in the repo not just in Figma.
