Responsibilities
Architect and ship the Product.ai UI Kit as a production-grade React/Tailwind component library
Define the visual language for AI-native product experiences
Build the infrastructure that collapses concept-to-production latency by 80%
Establish the typography, spacing, and micro-interaction standards
Qualification
Required
You have production React experience
You write the Tailwind
You animate with Framer Motion
You merge your own PRs
You design component architectures, not page mockups
You understand reusable primitives that compose into complex interfaces without entropy
You obsess over the details that separate 'good enough' from 'exceptional'—type scale, whitespace rhythm, the physics of a hover state
You can articulate why something feels wrong before you can explain it logically
You have a portfolio of live, production interfaces—not Dribbble shots
You measure success in deployed code and user experience metrics, not design reviews passed
You don't need a design sprint to start
You don't need a PM to tell you what's broken
You see the problem, you prototype the fix, you ship the solution
Benefits
100% premium coverage for you and your family
Daily catered lunches
Unlimited PTO that we actually expect you to use to recharge
