Jr. AI Native Experience Designer

Overview

Valtech is hiring a Jr. AI Native Experience Designer to work with designers, engineers, strategists and clients to imagine and create intelligent digital experiences. The role is a hybrid of design and making, combining human-centered design with hands-on prototyping and AI-assisted development.

What you'll do

• Design AI-native products, services and digital experiences, from early concepts through high-fidelity and functional prototypes.
• Explore new interaction patterns involving agents, copilots, conversational experiences, generative interfaces and multimodal AI.
• Translate complex user, technology and business challenges into simple, intuitive experiences.
• Use AI throughout the design process to research, ideate, create, prototype, test and iterate.
• Build rich interactive prototypes using Figma and emerging AI-assisted design and development tools.
• Experiment with tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Replit, Lovable, Bolt and whatever comes next.
• Use AI-enabled development workflows to move from design concepts toward working front-end experiences.
• Partner closely with engineers to understand technical possibilities and constraints and translate designs into production experiences.
• Prototype quickly to answer questions that static screens alone can't answer.
• Design thoughtfully for the unique characteristics of AI, including uncertainty, transparency, trust, user control and unexpected outputs.
• Test emerging AI capabilities, understand where they succeed and fail, and translate that understanding into better experiences.
• Bring ideas to life for clients, helping them see and experience what AI makes possible.
• Share what you learn and contribute to the evolution of AI-native design practices across Valtech.

What you'll need

• 2–4 years of professional experience in experience design, product design, interaction design, UX/UI or a related discipline.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating digital experience design and your ability to move from problem definition through concept, interaction design and execution.
• Strong experience with Figma, prototyping, interaction design and design systems.
• Demonstrated experience using AI as part of how you design, prototype or create.
• Hands-on experimentation with generative AI, AI-assisted design tools, coding tools or emerging prototyping platforms.
• Strong foundations in human-centered design, user journeys, information architecture, usability and user research.
• An ability to think critically, challenge assumptions and bring structure to ambiguous problems.
• Enough technical fluency to understand how modern digital experiences are built and to collaborate closely with engineering teams.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to explain the thinking behind your work to clients, engineers and other designers.
• A demonstrated curiosity about AI and a habit of turning that curiosity into something tangible.

Nice to have

• Used AI to take a design concept all the way to a working front-end prototype.
• Built or designed an AI agent, copilot, conversational interface or generative experience.
• Experimented with voice, image, video or other multimodal AI experiences.
• Used tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, v0, Replit, Lovable or Bolt to make your ideas real.
• Worked directly with an LLM or AI API, or understand concepts such as context, RAG, tool calling and agents.
• Developed some familiarity with HTML/CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React or modern front-end development.
• Designed experiences that account for the uncertainty and non-deterministic behavior of AI.
• Thought deeply about how people build trust, understanding and control when interacting with intelligent systems.
• Contributed to a design system or helped translate design systems into working interfaces.
• Built side projects, hackathon projects or experiments to understand what a new technology could do.
• Developed strong opinions about what separates an AI experience that is genuinely useful from one that is simply impressive.

Details

• Location: United States, remote.
• Hybrid role: does not need to be a software engineer, but works across design and development.
