Endless possibilities.

We are lookingfor a highly versatile Creative Technologist with a strong background in Product Design and a technical understanding of development.

This role sits at the intersection of design and engineering, acting as a translation layer to ensure that high-level creative concepts are feasible, scalable, and built to a foundational level for handoff.

You will focus on using advanced AI tools to build, QA, and evolve complex design systems while delivering rapid, functional prototypes.

Key Responsibilities

• AI-Augmented Prototyping: Utilize natural language prompts and agentic coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable) to generate functional code, interfaces, and prototypes within hours or days.

• Design System Evolution: Partner with design teams to incorporate new patterns into living design systems, using AI to identify unused or duplicate components and automate design-to-UI code transitions.

• Technical Design QA: Lead the quality assurance of technical and design components, leveraging AI computer vision for visual regression and automated accessibility scans (WCAG 2.2) in partnership with our QA team.

• Bridge Design & Development: Convert marketing briefs and creative concepts into detailed functional specifications and user stories that are actionable by core engineering teams.

MCP Server: Manage the deployment and integration of AI-augmented prototyping tools and the living design system (Figma components) with the central MCP Server infrastructure.

Monitor and ensure the MCP Server's performance and scalability to support high-volume automated design system QA and rapid prototyping processes.
