• Demonstrated willingness to use AI to produce design work—including hands‑on experience with, or genuine eagerness to learn, AI- and code-based prototyping tools such as Claude Code, Claude, or similar.
• A product-minded approach, with the ability to consider business needs, use cases, and technical constraints alongside user needs.
• Proficiency with design and prototyping tools such as Figma.
• Working familiarity with front‑end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) sufficient to collaborate effectively with engineers and to prototype using code-based tools.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design principles.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions to both design and non-design audiences.
• Ability to manage multiple projects with competing deadlines and adapt to shifting priorities.

• Support discovery and user research, including usability testing and other validation methods, to inform design decisions and feature prioritization.
• Approach design with a product mindset, weighing user needs alongside business goals, use cases, and technical constraints and opportunities.
