About Authorium
Authorium is a high-growth GovTech SaaS company transforming how government agencies manage administrative operations. Our platform replaces fragmented document management solutions and decades-old legacy systems with a unified user interaction and data layer that manages billions of dollars in public funds; serving state, local, and federal agencies that in turn support millions of citizens and businesses. Authorium sits at the intersection of modernization, public service, and technology innovation like AI-enabled workflows. Our team moves fast, collaborates across teams, and builds for impact.
What a Designer is at Authorium
You take an idea from a rough concept to a polished, production interface running in front of real government users, and you work highly independently through that process with a clear feedback loop.
You’ll lean heavily on AI-native tooling to compress that loop. We expect you to be genuinely fluent in Claude Design and comparable AI design/build tools by using them to go from prompt to prototype. The candidates we’re most excited about treat AI as a force multiplier on craft, not a replacement for it.
What You’ll Do
Design and build, end to end
•
Take features from concept through interaction design, prototyping, and have a desire to front-end implementation.
•
Build and maintain real interfaces in our codebase (Hotwire / Next.js), partnering with Engineering on architecture, state, and performance.
•
Use Claude Design and other AI tooling to move fast: rapid prototypes, multiple directions, working components and bring strong judgment about which output is actually good.
Shape the product surface
•
Improve UX across the platform from intake, approvals, document generation, evaluations, configuration, and reporting including fixing inconsistencies and usability gaps as you go.
•
Contribute to the design system: components, patterns, and libraries that keep the product coherent and speed up everyone’s delivery. You’ll both use it and extend it in code.
•
Help shape how AI shows up in the product with making AuthorAI feel context-aware and trustworthy for users across every level of AI comfort.
Ship with quality
•
Design and build for accessibility and compliance from the start (WCAG 2.1 AA) — our government customers require it.
•
Review your work against design intent through delivery and hold the bar on fidelity and polish.
•
Work in sprints; manage your work in Jira and participate in planning and grooming.
Collaborate
•
Partner with PMs to frame problems and make scope tradeoffs, and with Engineering on feasibility and front-end quality.
•
Talk to users: lightweight usability checks, observing real workflows, and turning what you learn into better interfaces.
What We’re Looking For
Required
•
2–3 years building digital products where you both designed and implemented the front end portfolios that show shipped work, not just mockups.
•
Strong design craft: interaction design, layout, and a sharp eye for detail in dense, data-heavy interfaces with tables, filters, multi-step flows, role-based views.
•
Demonstrated fluency with Claude Design (and/or comparable AI design/build tools) used as a serious part of how you ship and please show us examples.
•
Proficiency in Figma (components, libraries, auto-layout, prototyping).
•
Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping and you make judgment calls with incomplete information and move between design and code in the same day.
•
Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA).
•
Clear communication as you can explain a decision in terms of user outcomes and tradeoffs, not just aesthetics.
•
San Francisco Bay Area Based: Energized by an in-office (Monday-Thursday) collaborative culture.
Nice to Have
•
Experience with dense, workflow-driven enterprise / B2B products.
•
Exposure to government, public sector, or other regulated/compliance-driven environments.
•
Experience with product analytics tools (Pendo, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar).
•
Experience integrating AI features into a product UI.
