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.

  • Product Design
  • UX/UI Design
  • Rapid Prototyping

Preferred Qualifications

  • 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.
