wattgen is an AI consulting and engineering firm that helps organizations find where AI can make a real difference, then builds the systems that deliver it. We pair rigorous problem-solving with engineering that holds up in the real world.
Role Overview
In this role, you'll design how each client's AI applications look and work - prototyping fast with AI-augmented tools, building per-client design systems, and taking designs from concept to production alongside the engineers who build them.You will take ownership of workstreams and work with minimal supervision. You will be a structured thinker - breaking ambiguous problems down cleanly and avoiding wasted effort - and will be accountable for the quality of the work and the timelines it ships on.
Responsibilities
- Design AI applications for complex enterprise ecosystems, from the ground up or into existing systems.
- Rapidly create interactive prototypes using AI-augmented tools like Claude Design to demonstrate and test interactions.
- Convert prototypes into production-ready, high-fidelity designs.
- Apply systems thinking to design, using atomic design principles to build interfaces from reusable components into coherent, scalable systems.
- Structure ambiguous business problems into user flows, interaction models, and clean UI systems.
- Establish and evolve a design system for each client - its components, patterns, and standards - to ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency across their products.d efficiency across their products.
- Support frontend engineers in translating designs into code, and where necessary submitting PRs to ensure design quality and polish.
- Participate and contribute to client meetings, presentations, and workshops, owning the design discipline within a multidisciplinary team.
- Produce structured, client-ready documentation that communicates design decisions.
- Build and maintain a reusable UI component library that carries across projects.
Requirements
- 5+ years designing digital products at scale, including client-facing work.
- A compelling portfolio showing strong interaction design, high visual craft, structured problem framing, and shipped production work.
- Structured thinking, able to break ambiguous problems into clear, logical design solutions.
- Strong command of design systems and atomic design principles, and how to scale them across products.
- Advanced Figma proficiency - design systems, auto layout, variables, prototyping, and developer collaboration workflows.
- Advanced experience with AI-native research, design, and collaboration tools - Claude Design, ChatGPT, Lovable, Figma AI.
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving, client-facing consulting environments and delivering to tight timescales.
- Strong written and verbal communication in English, able to present design decisions and trade-offs to clients and stakeholders, and produce clear, client-ready documentation.
Nice to Have
- Experience designing enterprise, B2B, or complex transactional systems.
- Familiarity with working in a codebase using AI-assisted tools.
- Familiarity with developer-facing or data-heavy products (dashboards, tools, observability).
