AI Product Designer
Virtusa, New York, NY, United States
Job Title: AI-First Designer (High-Velocity)
Role Overview
We are looking for a Product Designer who treats AI not as a gimmick, but as their primary co-pilot. You aren't just a Figma expert; you are a "full-stack" design orchestrator who uses Cursor to build prototypes, Figma AI to scale systems, and LLMs to refine logic. Your goal is to compress the distance between a concept and a high-fidelity, interactive product. In this role, your "speed to ship" is a competitive advantage. You will move from a blank canvas to a validated, coded prototype in hours, not weeks. What You’ll Do
AI-Driven Prototyping: Use Cursor and Claude Code to build functional, model-aware prototypes. You don't just hand off static screens; you hand off living code that proves a UX concept works. Figma Orchestration: Leverage Figma Make, Variables, and AI-powered plugins to automate the creation of design systems and layout variants. Prompt-as-Spec: Draft "Micro-PRDs" and prompts that act as functional specifications for both AI agents and engineering teams. Rapid Iteration: Produce $10\times$ more explorations than a traditional designer by using generative tools to stress-test layouts, edge cases, and copy variations. What You Bring
The Stack: Fluency in Figma (Advanced auto-layout, variables, and AI features) and Cursor (or similar AI-integrated IDEs). Code-Literacy: You don't need to be a Senior Engineer, but you must be comfortable reading/tweaking React, Tailwind, or CSS that an AI generates for you. Systemic Thinking: Ability to build "AI-readable" design systems—structured files that LLMs can easily interpret and convert into components. High Taste, Low Ego: You can generate dozens of ideas quickly, curate the best ones with a sharp aesthetic eye, and pivot immediately based on data. The "Agentic" Mindset: You naturally look for ways to automate the boring parts of design (layer naming, documentation, icon sourcing) so you can focus on the core user experience.
