Work directly with customers, test prototypes, and refine the product based on feedback.
Partner with backend engineers to bring designs into production.

A portfolio or personal website featuring contemporary UI/UX work, including products you personally helped take from concept to production.
Experience owning product design decisions and user flows, with the ability to explain the business logic behind them.
Strong visual and interaction design judgment, systems thinking, initiative, and comfort iterating quickly as priorities evolve.
Frontend experience building product interfaces, including production React and TypeScript, and the ability to independently ship frontend work.
Experience working with customers and incorporating their feedback; B2B, operational, workflow, dashboard, or AI/agent product experience is relevant.
