[Hiring] Senior UI/UX Designer @Fusemachines

Role Description

The Sr. UX/UI Designer sits on a product team and owns the design of a product area, connecting real user needs with business goals. This designer thinks like a product owner and understands how the product earns its keep. Craft and research fundamentals stay non-negotiable, and AI is the working partner that makes it possible to explore more options and prove ideas faster.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of UX/UI design experience, with a portfolio of products that shipped.
• Demonstrated use of AI in real design work, with examples of what it changed.

Requirements

• AI fluency and vibe design.
• Fluent with current AI design, prototyping, and coding tools such as Figma Make, Claude, Cursor, v0, or Lovable, and quick to learn the next ones.
• Vibe designs with intent, going from rough idea to working prototype in hours by steering AI with a trained eye.
• Treats a prompt like a design brief, giving AI the context, constraints, and design system rules it needs.
• Uses AI across the process, from research synthesis and UX copy to edge cases, accessibility checks, and QA.
• Can tell a fast AI output from a good one, and sets the tool aside when doing it by hand is better.
• Designs for systems that do not give the same answer twice, handling uncertainty, wrong answers, and partial results without losing the user's trust.
• Understands how models and agents behave well enough to set honest expectations and place human review where being wrong is costly.
• Thinks past the chat box, designing agentic and assisted workflows rather than defaulting to conversation.
• Knows how the product makes money, who it serves, and what the success metrics and constraints are, and designs with that in view.
• Weighs desirability, feasibility, and viability, and can say no to an idea that is not worth what it costs.
• Argues design decisions in terms stakeholders care about, such as conversion, retention, or time to ship.
• Strong visual and interaction craft in Figma, and the judgment to run a design system rather than only work inside one.
• Research and usability testing that ends in decisions, not decks.
• Enough code literacy to read a component, change it, and steer an AI coding tool.
• Clear communication in English, able to explain and defend decisions to non-designers.
• Owns the process end to end, scoping, prioritizing, and delivering independently.

Good to have

• A degree in design, computer science, information technology, or a related field.
• Production front end experience with HTML, CSS, SASS, or React.
• Prompt libraries or reusable AI workflows built for a team.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the design of a product area end to end, partnering with product and engineering on the goals and constraints behind the roadmap.
• Take ideas to clickable prototypes quickly, and use them to drive decisions instead of slides.
• Run research and usability testing, and bring the findings to the people making the calls.
• Stay with the work after release, watching how it performs and iterating.
• Maintain and extend the design system so people and AI tools produce on brand, accessible output by default.
• Share prompts, workflows, and failed experiments to raise the team's AI fluency.
• Own the quality of everything you deliver. Nothing ships without a designer's review, AI assisted or not.
