  • Experiment with AI-driven design and interaction patterns to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the creator tech space.
  • Use data, research, and user feedback to guide decisions—and know when to trust your creative instincts.
  • Champion accessibility, performance, and responsive design best practices.
  • Stay ahead of emerging design, front-end, and AI trends and share insights to inspire the team.

Here’s What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience as a UX Engineer, Design Technologist, or Front-End Designer with a strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end design and development work.
  • Deep understanding of human-centered design principles and how to apply them to complex workflows.
  • Hands-on proficiency with modern web frameworks (React, Vue, or similar) and a strong command of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Ability to design and build scalable components and interfaces that align with a unified design system.
  • Comfort working with AI tools and services to improve functionality, design exploration, and development efficiency.
  • Strong collaboration skills—able to partner with product, design, engineering, and marketing teams to bring ideas to life.
  • Excellent communication skills and an ability to explain design decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • A proactive, curious mindset and passion for exploring new technologies, paradigms, and creative approaches.
  • A genuine interest in the creator economy and the future of how humans and AI work together.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
