[Hiring] Design Expert @YO AI Labs

Role Description

We are seeking senior Product Design and AI-Assisted Development Experts to create evaluation tasks for AI systems working across rapid prototyping, product design, and human-AI collaboration. Experts may contribute to either or both tracks:

• Vibecoding: AI-assisted software development, natural-language-to-code workflows, and rapid prototyping.
• Design: Product design, UX/UI, design systems, component libraries, research, and usability.

No formal credential is required; demonstrated expertise and shipped work are highly valued.

Key Responsibilities

• Create realistic scenarios covering rapid prototyping, iteration, design systems, and product-design-engineering collaboration.
• Develop tasks involving AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, v0, and Replit.
• Create Design-track tasks using Figma, Framer, prototyping tools, and design-system platforms.
• Apply prompt-driven development, human-centered design, heuristic evaluation, and rapid prototyping methodologies.
• Produce reference prototypes, code artifacts, design specifications, and usability evaluation reports.
• Develop detailed rubrics that distinguish senior-level product judgment from generic or template-driven work.
• Collaborate on task refinement and evaluation standards.

Qualifications

• Product Design
• UX/UI Design
• Rapid Prototyping
• Design Systems

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a product designer, design lead, or AI-native engineer/vibecoder.
• Experience at a product- or design-focused company, startup, or notable independent product.
• Direct ownership of shipped product designs, design systems, or AI-assisted development workflows.
• Strong fluency with relevant design or AI development tools.
• Portfolio of shipped work strongly preferred.
• Experience creating rubrics, training materials, design critiques, or evaluation frameworks is a plus.

Contract & Payment

• Independent contractor engagement.
• Fully remote with a flexible schedule.
• Project duration may vary based on business needs and performance.
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.

Screening Questions
