Job description

This role owns the design of complex operational workflows for tournament operators, event directors and participants, taking problems from early discovery through delivery and iteration. A strong candidate brings at least five years of product design work on web based business software, with a portfolio showing full ownership of hard, data heavy products. The person also needs to run research, build and scale a design system, and present design decisions clearly to executives, engineers and customers.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools are part of the daily craft here, with prototyping and refining front end code alongside engineering. The judgment about which problems matter, how workflows should feel under pressure, and what research reveals stays with the designer. AI speeds up building and testing ideas, while the human work is framing messy operations into simple, usable experiences.

How it builds AI experience

Working here builds hands on skill with AI assisted coding tools like Cursor, used to turn design ideas into working front end prototypes. The role also grows experience applying AI to sports operations software, where scheduling and event management are the core problems. A candidate can prepare by practicing AI assisted prototyping and by studying how data heavy workflows are designed for power users.
