Product Designer IV

RESPONSIBILITIES:
A client with Kforce is seeking a Product Designer IV to join their team onsite in San Diego, CA.

Summary:
Design Technologists sit between design and engineering. As a Staff Design Technologist, you lead the work across a complicated domain. You set the technical direction for how design and code come together across our platforms, build the systems and practices that let teams deliver quickly without lowering quality, and show what comes next through prototypes you build yourself.

What You Will Build:
* Design system foundations and accessible, tested components that design and engineering teams can adopt with confidence across platforms
* Conversational and agentic AI experiences that are trustworthy and handle failures well, plus the patterns and guardrails other teams reuse
* Prototypes with realistic mock data that break from traditional patterns and test new ideas with users
* Processes for integrating GenAI throughout the design cycle, from early exploration to production
* Tools and frameworks that help designers and engineers deliver faster and with greater precision

How You Will Work:
* Partner with Product Designers, engineers, PMs, and data science leads to solve complex use cases as they arise
* Own ambiguous, cross-team problems from definition through delivery with little oversight
* Keep design and code in sync across platforms, and close the gaps in process, tooling, data, and team structure that cause them to drift
* Track advances in LLMs, code, content organization, and conversation design, and recommend GenAI solutions that fit team requirements and the design vision

REQUIREMENTS:
* Degree in a related field or equivalent experience
* 8+ years in design technology, UX engineering, or front end engineering, including time leading work across teams
* React, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
* Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)
* Testing, Git, and code review
* LLM APIs, NLU, AI coding tools, and personalized AI experiences
* Figma and motion tools
