Design Developer (Product Designer)

We are looking for a Design Developer with excellent design skills and coding chops to focus on AI-powered developer experiences!

Overview

This role sits at the intersection of product design and front-end development, supporting rapid prototyping and implementation across web and product experiences. This role will support a variety of developer web and product areas and experiences.

The ideal candidate is a strong designer who can build and test their own work, reducing traditional design to dev handoff and enabling faster iteration.

This is a modern, cross disciplinary role - someone who can move fluidly from concept to coded prototype, using both established front-end frameworks and emerging AI tools.
