JPMorgan Chase & Co.; New York (NY); On-site; USD 190,000 - 270,000; Full time

Job summary

JPMorganChase is seeking a VP UX Creative Technologist to lead the hands-on creation of an AI-native design system. You will own foundations, tokens, components, and documentation, building a scalable, living product that teams can contribute to and rely on.

The role combines design excellence with advanced AI-augmented engineering, shaping how employees experience design at scale. You will partner with leadership to raise the bar across craft, performance, and integration into workflows.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in creative technology, design engineering, user experience, design systems, or similar craft-and-code roles.
• Exceptional design taste and craft, with demonstrated ability to set and maintain the visual and interaction quality bar.
• Proven experience building and scaling design systems as coded infrastructure, with real adoption across multiple teams.
• Strong, production-level front-end engineering skills across modern frameworks, token-based systems, accessibility standards, and performance optimization.
• Hands-on experience building AI agents, automations, or AI-augmented tooling and shipping them into real workflows.

Responsibilities

• Lead hands-on creation of the AI-native design system end-to-end — from foundations, tokens, components, patterns, and documentation to a scalable contribution model — as a coded, evolving, living product
• Deliver high production-quality, accessible, sub-atomic code that other teams can build on with confidence
• Design and ship AI agents and automations that make the system generative, self-serve, and self-improving — from foundation scaffolding to on-demand pattern generation
• Establish middle-layer connections, APIs, integration points, and tooling that link the design system to the products, pipelines, and workflows that consume it
• Set the creative engineering and design bar for the system — spanning visual and interaction quality, code architecture, and performance
• Integrate AI natively into daily workflows — including prototyping, generation, and agentic tooling — to accelerate delivery without sacrificing craft
• Build coded prototypes and explorations that validate ideas before the team commits to shipping them
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to embed the design system into leadership tools and key internal product moments
• Serve as a hands-on technical authority, translating complex product and design problems into systems and tooling that teams can align behind and build upon
• Partner with the Design Director and associate designers to push the team's craft and pace, collectively doing the best work of our careers
