UX/UI design specialist

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a UX/UI Design Specialist based in Canada.

This contract opportunity is designed for an experienced product or UX/UI design professional with a strong background in modern digital product development. You will create and evaluate real-world scenarios spanning rapid prototyping, design systems, component libraries, and close collaboration between product, design, and engineering teams. The role sits at the intersection of human-centered design and emerging AI-assisted development workflows. You will work with tools such as Figma, Framer, AI coding assistants, and rapid prototyping platforms to assess practical product-design challenges. Your expertise will help define evaluation standards that distinguish genuine senior-level product judgment from generic or tutorial-level work. Working remotely and asynchronously, you will contribute your experience to improving AI systems and the quality of their design and development outputs.

Accountabilities:: Develop realistic scenarios covering rapid prototyping, UX/UI design, design-system development, component libraries, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration.

Create tasks involving AI-assisted application development, natural-language-to-code workflows, rapid prototyping, and modern product design practices.

Design evaluation scenarios that reflect real-world challenges faced by senior product designers, design leads, and AI-native development teams.

Use tools such as Figma, Framer, Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Replit, and related design or AI-assisted development platforms where appropriate.

Apply human-centered design principles, iterative prompt-driven development practices, rapid prototyping methodologies, and design-system best practices.

Develop structured rubrics that distinguish authentic senior-level product and UX/UI judgment from generic, theoretical, or tutorial-level responses.

Assess usability, interaction design, visual hierarchy, consistency, accessibility, product thinking, and the practical feasibility of proposed solutions.

Incorporate design-system and component-library considerations into evaluation criteria and scenarios.

Work independently and asynchronously while maintaining high standards for accuracy, consistency, and relevance.

Contribute to the improvement of AI model performance by providing high-quality scenarios, rubrics, and expert-level evaluation guidance.

Requirements:

5+ years of professional experience as a Product Designer, UX/UI Designer, Design Lead, Design Systems Specialist, or AI-native Engineer/Vibecoder within a product- or design-focused organization.

Demonstrated ownership of production-shipped product designs, design systems, component libraries, or AI-assisted development workflows.

Strong expertise in UX/UI design, human-centered design principles, interaction design, prototyping, and digital product development.

Hands-on fluency with modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma and Framer , along with familiarity with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, v0, or Replit.

Understanding of rapid prototyping, design systems, component architecture, and collaboration between design, product, and engineering teams.

Ability to evaluate design solutions from both user and business perspectives, balancing usability, feasibility, consistency, and product objectives.

Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to distinguish nuanced senior-level design judgment from generic recommendations.

Strong written communication skills and the ability to articulate design decisions, evaluation criteria, and feedback clearly.

Comfortable working independently, asynchronously, and with structured evaluation frameworks.

A portfolio demonstrating shipped product or UX/UI work is strongly preferred.

Previous experience authoring rubrics, training materials, design critiques, or AI evaluation content is an advantage.

Benefits:

Competitive contract compensation of $70–$80 per hour .

Fully remote work environment.

Flexible, asynchronous working structure.

Opportunity to apply UX/UI and product design expertise to emerging AI technologies.

Exposure to AI-assisted development, natural-language-to-code workflows, rapid prototyping, and modern design systems.

Opportunity to contribute to the development of more capable and reliable AI systems through expert-led evaluation.

Work on diverse scenarios spanning product design, design systems, prototyping, and AI-native development.

Independent environment with flexibility around managing assignments and deadlines.

Opportunity to apply real-world, production-level design expertise to cutting-edge AI evaluation workflows.
