Visual work that stands on its own. We want to open your portfolio, look at something you shipped, and be genuinely impressed. You have opinions about how software should look in the age of generative design.
A design system you built that made it into production. A clean Figma library matters less to us than how it was adopted and used in a product.
Real depth in interaction design. Snappy hover state animations, what happens in the gap between a click and a result, how a dense table behaves while it’s loading or empty or wrong.
Comfortability with AI coding tools. You aren’t afraid to implement frontend polish.
4+ years shipping web products, including time as the designer at an early-stage B2B SaaS company. You’ve worked on hard surfaces: data-heavy dashboards, workflow tools, anything where the user configures behavior instead of filling in fields.
Curiosity about the product itself. You ask engineers how things work, you want to know how the agents behave a level below the screens, and you go get that context rather than waiting for it in a ticket. We’re a lean team and each of us needs to know the product well enough to prioritize which features get built or not.
Fluency with current tools. Figma mastery is assumed. Past that, you’re using Weave, Flora, or whatever comes after them, along with modern prototyping tools, as part of how you normally work.
