Original job description
About the job
Mercor connects elite creative and technical talent with leading AI research labs. Headquartered in San Francisco, our investors include Benchmark, General Catalyst, Peter Thiel, Adam D'Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey.
Position: Design Expert
Type: Contract
Compensation: $70–$80/hour
Location: Remote
Role Responsibilities
- Construct scenarios spanning rapid prototyping, design system development, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration.
- Build tasks across AI-assisted application development, natural-language-to-code workflows, and rapid prototyping (Vibecoding); and UX/UI design, design systems, and component libraries.
- Develop scenarios involving tools such as AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Replit) for the Vibecoding subdomain, and Figma, prototyping tools (Framer), and design systems tooling for the Design subdomain.
- Apply subdomain-specific methodologies (iterative prompt-driven development for Vibecoding; human-centered design principles and heuristic evaluation for Design).
- Author rubrics that distinguish authentic senior-level product judgment from generic tutorial-level or template-driven work.
Qualifications
Must-Have
- 5+ years working as a product designer, design lead, or AI-native engineer/vibecoder at a major product- or design-forward company.
- Direct ownership of product design systems or AI-assisted development workflows shipped to production.
- Fluency in vibecoding or design tooling, plus understanding of user-centered design principles and rapid prototyping practices.
Preferred
- A portfolio of shipped work is strongly preferred in place of a formal credential.
- Prior rubric, training, or design critique authorship is a plus.
