Role OverviewMercor connects elite creative and technical talent with leading AI research labs. As a Design Systems Specialist, you will construct scenarios spanning rapid prototyping, design system development, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration. You will build tasks across AI-assisted application development, natural-language-to-code workflows, and UX/UI design, design systems, and component libraries.
What You Will Do
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include developing scenarios involving tools such as AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Replit) for the Vibecoding subdomain, and Figma, prototyping tools (Framer), and design systems tooling for the Design subdomain. You will apply subdomain-specific methodologies and author rubrics that distinguish authentic senior-level product judgment from generic tutorial-level or template-driven work.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This role requires a strong portfolio of shipped work, fluency in vibecoding or design tooling, and understanding of user-centered design principles and rapid prototyping practices. Prior rubric, training, or design critique authorship is a plus.
Requirements
- 5+ years working as a product designer, design lead, or AI-native engineer/vibecoder at a major product- or design-forward company
- Direct ownership of product design systems or AI-assisted development workflows shipped to production
- Fluency in vibecoding or design tooling, plus understanding of user-centered design principles and rapid prototyping practices
