Job description

About You

You are a prototyping and AI expert who thinks in flows, experiments, and code — and who brings strong UI/UX skills to everything you build. You move fast: your first instinct when exploring a new idea is to open Claude Code or Cursor, not Figma. You build interactive, working prototypes using AI-assisted coding tools, and you use design craft to make them feel polished and production-ready.

You actively build AI-driven workflows (prompt → pipeline → result) and know how to ship things — working with engineers to take prototypes all the way to production. You’re comfortable with ambiguity and complex inputs, and you validate your work through real experiments and user feedback.

You have solid UI/UX foundations — you design clear flows, understand visual hierarchy, and can produce high-fidelity interfaces in Figma when needed. But your superpower is the ability to collapse the gap between idea and working product using AI and code.

You don’t manage a team directly, but you own the quality of what you build and naturally align business, design, and engineering around your solutions.

Responsibilities

• AI‑Assisted Prototyping & Vibe Coding
  • Build interactive prototypes and design explorations using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Framer, or similar) — reaching for code as your primary creative tool.
  • Design and prototype AI‑assisted product solutions (agents, copilots, generation and automation tools) together with product and engineering.
  • Build and iterate prompt → flow → result pipelines; contribute reusable prompt patterns and workflow libraries.
  • Use no‑/low‑code tooling (Webflow, Retool, Zapier) where possible to reduce dependency on core engineering.
  • Move prototypes to production in close collaboration with engineers, ensuring smooth handoff and feasibility.
• UI/UX Design
  • Turn ideas into clear UX flows, wireframes, and high‑fidelity mock‑ups in Figma when needed.
  • Bring strong visual and interaction design craft to everything you build — hierarchy, clarity, motion, and micro‑interactions.
  • Create partner‑facing materials: product presentations, landing pages, one‑pagers, and infographics for go‑to‑market and integrations.
• Discovery, Research & Experimentation
  • Contribute to discovery: interviews, JTBD, surveys, CJMs, and help translate insights into product decisions.
  • Validate solutions and hypotheses through quick tests and experiments.
  • Collaborate with analytics to define success metrics and interpret experiment results.
• Monetization UX
  • Translate monetization and growth ideas into concrete prototypes, UX changes, and experiments.
  • Bridge Business & Design & Tech
    • Translate business problems and partner needs into clear artifacts: flows, specs, clickable prototypes, and simple documentation.
    • Work closely with engineers to ensure feasibility and a smooth path from prototype to production.
    • Contribute to internal standards for AI‑assisted workflows, UX quality, and visual consistency (without direct people‑management).

  Qualifications & Skills

  • 5–7+ years in product design, UX/UI, or a hybrid design‑engineering role.
  • Hands‑on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or similar) — you use these to build and prototype, not just explore ideas.
  • A genuine passion for vibe coding and AI‑assisted prototyping; someone actively building this muscle, not just aware of it.
  • Confident in Figma for UX flows, wireframes, and high‑fidelity design when required.
  • Proven AI production experience: building prompt + workflow pipelines and shipping automated or AI‑assisted flows into real use.
  • Strong UI skills: visual clarity, hierarchy, attention to detail, and the ability to make prototypes feel polished.
  • Strong UX thinking: flows, structure, consistency, and edge cases — able to design connected product experiences, not just individual screens.
  • Research skills: experience contributing to discovery (interviews, JTBD, CJM), usability tests, and surveys.
  • Analytics & experiments: comfortable framing hypotheses, reading A/B‑test results, and connecting UX changes to business metrics.
  • Strong written and verbal communication in English — able to align stakeholders around your solutions.

  Nice to Have

  • Strong track record of designing and shipping D2C and F2P / in‑app monetization experiences (shops, checkouts, promotions, LiveOps).
  • Experience in the gaming industry or working with game developers / publishers.
  • Ability to write functional front‑end code (HTML/CSS/JS/React) to build prototypes independently.
  • Deep craft in interaction design, motion, and design systems; experience contributing to or maintaining a design system.
  • Broad understanding of modern product architecture (APIs, client‑server patterns, microservices, cloud).
  • Experience with no‑code / low‑code tools such as Webflow, Retool, Zapier, or similar.
  • Experience in a fast‑paced startup or scale‑up environment.
  • Familiarity with growth design principles (conversion optimisation, funnel analysis, pricing presentation).
  • Additional language skills relevant to key markets (e.g. Russian, Malay, Chinese).
