Product Design Specialist

Job Title: AI UX Designer Location: Remote (Canada) PST TIME ZONE PREFERRED
Start date: ASAP (strong potential for extension)

Candidate Requirements

• Years of Experience Required: Ideally 5-7 years
• Degrees or Certifications Required: No strict requirement; relevant design degrees (graphic, visual communication, human-centered design) are a plus but not mandatory if the portfolio is strong.
• Disqualifiers: Candidates focused on highly creative, expressive, or illustrative design (e.g., portfolios full of illustrations or iconography) are not a fit; the role is systems- and utility-focused.
• Best vs. Average: Best candidates have browser design experience and/or AI feature design experience, strong systems thinking, and can communicate their design rationale clearly. Someone who has worked on iteration in a small space would be great. Motion design experience is a bonus.
• Performance Indicators: Success is measured by project delivery within timeframes, ability to work independently, effective participation in critiques, and strong communication of design decisions.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in product/service design for the web.
• Strong interaction design skills grounded in user experience fundamentals, including accessibility and inclusive design.
• Excellent visual/UI design skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication and presentation abilities.
• Proficiency in Figma, including use of design system tokens and components.
• Familiarity with industry AI assistants.
• Ability to adapt quickly to new workflows, feedback, and evolving project needs.
• Ability to work under constant deadline constraints.
• Comfortable working autonomously and collaboratively with other designers.
• Portfolio for a review with the design lead.
• Bachelor’s degree in design or related program. A combination of education and experience may substitute for a Bachelor's degree.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience creating and implementing motion design solutions—such as micro-interactions, transitions, sizzle reels, and animated prototypes—to enhance usability and bring enterprise features to life.
