Job Description
We are looking for a technical architect with a designer’s soul. The ideal candidate understands that the future of interfaces isn't just about how things look, but how they think, react, and behave. In this role, you will be the bridge between high-level design concepts and production-ready engineering. You aren't just drawing the future; you are building its functional core. You will spend the majority of your time in leveraging LLMs and modern frameworks to prove technical viability through quick "living" prototypes.
Scope of Responsibilities
High-Fidelity Prototyping:Develop functional, data-driven prototypes that go far beyond Figma. You will build tools that prove a concept's technical viability using modern web frameworks.
AI Implementation:Integrate LLMs, diffusion models, and vector databases into user-facing interfaces. You won't just call an API; you’ll optimize prompts and RAG flows to improve the overall UX.
Bridge Design & Engineering:Serve as the "connective tissue." You will translate UX wireframes and complex design requirements into technical specifications that our engineering teams can scale.
Technical Feasibility:Collaborate with designers early in the process to assess whether a proposed concept is technically achievable, bringing a "builder’s perspective" to design critiques.
Documentation:Research and document emerging AI models, APIs, and developer tools to keep the team at the bleeding edge of what's possible.
Requirements
Academic Background:Currently pursuing a masters degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, HCI, or a related technical field. A minor or concentration in Design is a plus.
Technical Proficiency:Strong foundation in React, TypeScript, and Node.js. You should be comfortable spinning up a full-stack environment from scratch without a starter kit.
AI Fluency:Demonstrated experience working with AI APIs. You must understand how to manipulate model parameters and structure data for AI consumption.
Prompt Engineering:Hands-on experience crafting, testing, and refining prompts to achieve specific, reproducible outputs—not just passive use of consumer AI tools.
Design Fundamentals:Basic understanding of visual hierarchy, interaction design, and user-centric thinking. You understand why a feature should exist, even if your primary focus is how to code it.
Preferred Skills
Python Proficiency:Experience with Python for scripting and data processing.
Data Architecture:Familiarity with vector databases or the architectural concepts of RAG.
Design Prototype:Experience in working with Figma MCP; adept at integrating AI tools to accelerate rapid prototyping and iterative design.
Rapid Iteration: Participate in hackathons, coding competitions, or AI-focused build sprints.
Submission
Portfolio (Must Have):A comprehensive portfolio showcasing your end-to-end process, technical execution, and project impact. We are looking for live web apps and technical experiments, not just static mockups or case studies.
