What is the difference between Heuristic Evaluation vs Usability Analyst?

AspectHeuristic EvaluationUsability Analyst
CredentialsTypically no formal certification, but knowledge of usability heuristics requiredOften holds degrees in human-computer interaction, psychology, or related fields; may have certifications like IAAP
Work EnvironmentConducted by usability experts or evaluators, often in labs or remote settingsWorks in research, testing labs, or client sites, analyzing user interactions
Industry UsageCommon in UX/UI design, product development, and usability testingUsed in UX research, product design, and user experience improvement

While both roles focus on improving user experience, Heuristic Evaluation involves experts reviewing interfaces against usability principles, whereas a Usability Analyst conducts user testing and gathers user feedback to inform design improvements.

Job description

Design Expert

Job Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
Schedule: Flexible / Self-Directed

Job Overview

We are seeking senior Product Design and AI-Assisted Development Experts to create evaluation tasks for AI systems working across rapid prototyping, product design, and human-AI collaboration.

Experts may contribute to either or both tracks:

  • Vibecoding: AI-assisted software development, natural-language-to-code workflows, and rapid prototyping.
  • Design: Product design, UX/UI, design systems, component libraries, research, and usability.

No formal credential is required; demonstrated expertise and shipped work are highly valued.

Key Responsibilities
  • Create realistic scenarios covering rapid prototyping, iteration, design systems, and product-design-engineering collaboration.
  • Develop tasks involving AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, v0, and Replit.
  • Create Design-track tasks using Figma, Framer, prototyping tools, and design-system platforms.
  • Apply prompt-driven development, human-centered design, heuristic evaluation, and rapid prototyping methodologies.
  • Produce reference prototypes, code artifacts, design specifications, and usability evaluation reports.
  • Develop detailed rubrics that distinguish senior-level product judgment from generic or template-driven work.
  • Collaborate on task refinement and evaluation standards.
Required Skills
  • Product Design
  • UX/UI Design
  • Rapid Prototyping
  • Design Systems
  • Vibecoding / AI-Assisted Development
  • Human-Centered Design
  • User Research & Usability Testing
  • Figma / Prototyping Tools
  • Design Critique
  • Product Judgment
  • AI-Assisted Coding
  • Evaluation & Rubric Development
Preferred Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience as a product designer, design lead, or AI-native engineer/vibecoder.
  • Experience at a product- or design-focused company, startup, or notable independent product.
  • Direct ownership of shipped product designs, design systems, or AI-assisted development workflows.
  • Strong fluency with relevant design or AI development tools.
  • Portfolio of shipped work strongly preferred.
  • Experience creating rubrics, training materials, design critiques, or evaluation frameworks is a plus.
Contract & Payment
  • Independent contractor engagement.
  • Fully remote with a flexible schedule.
  • Project duration may vary based on business needs and performance.
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
Screening Questions
  1. How many years of product design, UX/UI, or AI-assisted development experience do you have?
  2. Which track do you specialize in: Vibecoding, Design, or both?
  3. What products, design systems, or AI-assisted workflows have you shipped?
  4. Which tools do you use regularly (e.g., Figma, Framer, Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Replit)?
  5. Do you have a portfolio of shipped work?
  6. What experience do you have creating design critiques, rubrics, or evaluation frameworks?
  7. How soon can you start?
