Key Responsibilities
- User Interface & Experience Design
- Design clean, intuitive, responsive interfaces using modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3, WCAG accessibility guidelines, etc.).
- Translate requirements and user stories into wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI assets.
- Conduct user-centric design iterations informed by testing, feedback, and analytics.
- AI-Enhanced Design & Automation
- Use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, Figma AI, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate layout generation, component creation, content drafting, and workflow optimization.
- Build reusable AI design prompts, templates, and automations that streamline production.
- Collaborate with engineering to integrate AI-driven elements directly into product experiences when applicable.
- Front-End Alignment
- Partner with developers to ensure designs translate accurately into production-ready components.
- Maintain and evolve design systems with an AI-accelerated approach (naming conventions, accessibility, component logic).
- Ensure consistency across web, mobile, and multi-platform experiences.
- Innovation & Research
- Stay current on UI trends, AI tools, and modern front-end frameworks.
- Explore emerging AI workflows that reduce repetitive tasks and enhance creativity.
- Recommend scalable solutions that keep the organization ahead of design and automation trends.
Requirements
- 3+ years in UI/UX, product design, or a related field. (If you can wield Figma like a lightsaber, we’re listening.)
- Strong understanding of responsive design, user flows, and accessibility best practices.
- Must have an experience using AI tools for design, prototyping, content generation, or automation.
- Familiarity with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript frameworks) is strongly preferred.
- Needs to have coding capabilities, specifically for Shopify (Liquid code) and mobile-first elements.
- Marketplace experience (Amazon or similar) is important to ensure synergy and understanding of workflows.
- Ability to think strategically while sweating the pixel-perfect details.
- Excellent communication skills — both with humans and with whatever AI companion you prefer.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience creating or maintaining a design system.
- Understanding of LLM prompts and workflows.
- Motion design / micro-interactions experience.
- Light humor and a healthy respect for robots… just in case.
What This Role Brings
