Lifted - Contract: Senior AI Design & Engineering Process Lead
Requirements
• 5+ years of product design experience, with at least 1–2 years actively using AI tools in your design workflow • Working knowledge of frontend engineering. You can read and evaluate React/TypeScript code, understand component architecture, and have an informed opinion on whether AI-generated code is production-ready • Lovable, v0, Bolt for prototyping • Cursor, Copilot, or Claude for code • Strong design systems background. You’ve built or maintained a component library at scale • Comfort with ambiguity. This role is about defining a new process, not following an existing one. You need to be opinionated and adaptable • Experience in B2B SaaS or platform products. Understanding complex, multi-stakeholder workflows is important. HR tech, fintech, or compliance-heavy domains are a plus • Excellent communication skills. You’ll be working with PMs, engineers, and leadership. You need to articulate design decisions clearly and push back when needed • Experience with Figma Dev Mode and design-to-code workflows • Ability to ship small frontend fixes or components yourself, not just review them • Experience setting up AI-powered testing or QA pipelines • Experience training or mentoring teams on AI tooling adoption, in design or engineering • Background in contingent workforce, HR tech, or compliance platforms • Design (the foundation) • Senior product design experience — 5+ years, ideally in B2B SaaS or platform products. • Design systems at scale — you’ve built or maintained a real component library, tokens, and patterns. • Figma fluency, including translating rough prototypes into production-ready files. Dev Mode and design-to-code workflows are a plus. • Quality control and systems thinking — this role reframes design as a refinement / QA layer rather than the originator of work. • Frontend engineering literacy • Ability to read and evaluate React/TypeScript and understand component architecture — “dangerous,” not a full-time engineer. • Informed judgment on whether AI-generated frontend code is production-ready. • Bonus: shipping small fixes or components yourself, not just reviewing them. • AI tooling fluency (the real differentiator) • Design-side prototyping tools: Lovable, v0, Bolt, Figma AI. • Code-side assistants: Cursor, Copilot, Claude / Junie. • Crucially, experience shipping with these tools for 1–2 years, not just experimenting. • Prompt engineering — building reusable prompt templates, review checklists, and translation workflows. • Enabling others — training PMs to write better prototype prompts and helping engineers set code-review standards for AI-assisted PRs. • Bonus: setting up AI-powered testing or QA pipelines. • Role Details: • Pay Rate (in USD): TBD • Pay Rate (in USD): • Compensation Type: Hourly / milestone/stipend: TBD
Responsibilities
• Redesign the design workflowHelp us define where design fits in a process where PMs create clickable prototypes with AI tools before handoff. Establish the new role of design as quality controller, system thinker, and refinement layer. • Redesign the design workflow • Build and maintain the design systemEnsure our component library, tokens, and patterns are robust enough that AI-generated prototypes get closer to production quality from the start. • Build and maintain the design system • QA prototype fidelityReview AI-generated and PM-built prototypes, translate them into production-ready Figma files, and establish quality gates for engineering handoff. • QA prototype fidelity • Introduce AI-native design toolingBring your experience with AI design tools into our workflow. Show the team what’s possible and what’s practical. Train PMs on how to prompt better prototypes. • Introduce AI-native design tooling • Define standards and templatesCreate reusable prompt templates, prototype review checklists, and design-to-Figma translation workflows that scale across the team. • Define standards and templates • Collaborate across Product, Solutions, and EngineeringWork closely with PMs building prototypes, engineers shipping code from those prototypes, and stakeholders reviewing the output. • Collaborate across Product, Solutions, and Engineering • Review and improve AI-generated code qualityEvaluate the frontend code that AI tools produce from prototypes. Identify patterns where AI output needs human refinement, and help engineers establish review standards for AI-assisted PRs. • Review and improve AI-generated code quality • Help define AI-assisted engineering workflowsBring hands-on experience with Cursor, Copilot, and Claude/Junie into our engineering process. Help the team build prompt templates, testing patterns, and code review standards for AI-generated code. • Help define AI-assisted engineering workflows • Bridge prototype to productionEnsure what gets built matches what was validated. You understand both the Figma file and the React component and can spot when they diverge. • Bridge prototype to production
