About the Opportunity
This opportunity is for experienced Product Design, UX/UI, and AI-Assisted Development professionals interested in contributing to advanced AI research and evaluation projects involving rapid prototyping, product design, and human-AI collaborative development workflows.
The role focuses on creating realistic design and development scenarios, developing reference solutions, and building evaluation criteria that reflect how senior designers, product builders, and AI-native developers operate in modern product organizations.
You'll apply your expertise in product design, design systems, user experience, rapid prototyping, and AI-assisted development to help improve the capabilities of next-generation AI systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design realistic scenarios involving rapid prototyping, product development, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration.
- Develop tasks covering UX/UI design, design systems, component libraries, user research, usability testing, and visual design workflows.
- Create AI-assisted development and vibecoding tasks involving natural-language-to-code workflows, rapid application development, and prototype creation.
- Utilize tools such as Figma, Framer, Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Replit, and other modern design and development platforms.
- Apply human-centered design principles, heuristic evaluation methods, design thinking frameworks, and iterative AI-assisted development methodologies.
- Create reference prototypes, design specifications, usability reports, and development artifacts.
- Develop evaluation rubrics that distinguish authentic senior-level design and product judgment from generic or template-driven work.
- Evaluate outputs based on user experience quality, design thinking, technical feasibility, product impact, and execution excellence.
