[Hiring] Visual Designer @Akraya

Role Description

This role will be instrumental in developing and refining AI-powered creative tools. You will focus on building and maintaining the design system infrastructure that supports these emerging AI capabilities. The position requires a strong understanding of design systems and hands-on experience integrating AI into creative workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Shape where AI fits in creative production: find the manual steps worth removing, prototype the improvements against real design work, and bring back what is worth adopting.
• Run the testing loop on AI-assisted creative skills in development, debugging and refining each one until it clears the bar for production.
• Take Credit Karma's landing page system from design to build with development partners: documenting specs, QA and refinement along the way, and delivering production-ready components structured for AI-assisted skills to read and use.
• Build and maintain the Figma component and token architecture AI-assisted skills and agents read from, and support the migration into a larger shared design system.
• Build out the email template system already underway and extend the same AI-ready standard to other marketing channels, as capacity allows.
• Partner with Design Leadership to prioritize across AI, landing page, and design system work within a fixed capacity.
• Document component usage and system conventions so the libraries remain usable and consistent as other designers and stakeholders build on top of them.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in marketing or creative design systems, with deep hands-on Figma expertise (variables, tokens, component properties, auto-layout at scale) and strong practice of graphic design principles.
• Hands-on experience developing AI-assisted creative skills, agents and workflows: building, testing, refining, and shipping. You treat skill development like product development.
• Actively tracking the AI creative tooling landscape, with a clear point of view on what is worth adopting and where it's heading.
• Proven track record building or significantly scaling a component library from early stage to production use.
• Strong organizational skills and comfort working independently against milestones with minimal day-to-day direction.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams (AI-assisted skill development, landing page, systems migration) without letting foundational work slip.
• Strong portfolio showing both sides of this role: marketing or creative design systems you've built, and AI-assisted creative skills or workflows you've developed.

Preferred Skills

• Measurable results from AI-assisted creative work: skills you've developed, workflows you streamlined, steps you removed, or output quality you improved.
• Experience building or maintaining marketing email or landing page component systems.
• Experience with multi-brand or multi-team design systems, including migrating into or building alongside a larger shared system governed by another team.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach to systems work: comfortable being the builder behind the scenes rather than leading creative direction.

Requirements

• Contract Type: W2 Only
• Location: Oakland, CA (#LI-Remote)
• Pay Rate: $130-140 per hour on W2
• Duration: 6 Months (Possible Extension)
