This opportunity is for experienced Product Design, UX/UI, and AI-Assisted Development professionals interested in contributing to advanced AI research and evaluation projects involving rapid prototyping, product design, and human-AI collaborative development workflows. The role focuses on creating realistic design and development scenarios, developing reference solutions, and building evaluation criteria that reflect how senior designers, product builders, and AI-native developers operate in modern product organizations. You'll apply your expertise in product design, design systems, user experience, rapid prototyping, and AI-assisted development to help improve the capabilities of next-generation AI systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Design realistic scenarios involving rapid prototyping, product development, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration. Develop tasks covering UX/UI design, design systems, component libraries, user research, usability testing, and visual design workflows. Create AI-assisted development and vibecoding tasks involving natural-language-to-code workflows, rapid application development, and prototype creation.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
