Responsibilities include leading user research, partnering with Product and Engineering, designing core workflows for our VS Code extension, building and maintaining a lightweight design system, prototyping AI interactions, collaborating closely with engineers, and contributing to our open-source ethos. Qualifications include 6–10 years of experience in product design, proven ability to design end-to-end experiences, strong technical fluency, experience in rapidly iterating, exceptional communication skills, a keen eye for detail, and a portfolio demonstrating technical interfaces.
