Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. FWD People is a full-service strategically-led marketing agency delivering meaningful results in the human and animal health sectors. They are seeking an AI Design Engineer to partner with the CEO in designing, building, and shipping AI-powered tools and product solutions, emphasizing real ownership and innovation.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with the CEO to brainstorm, vet, and refine ideas for internal tools and agency tech solutions
- Take a rough idea and own it fully: design the experience, build it, and ship it, with the same care for aesthetic and craft (typography, spacing, interactions) you'd bring to your own side projects
- Use tools like Cursor, Replit Agent, Claude Code, and v0 to spin up proof-of-concepts, interactive mockups, and working MVPs in hours, not weeks
- Translate high-level business goals and creative briefs into working products the team can actually use — no separate designer or dev team needed
Skills
- AI Native Builder: A portfolio with at least one product you designed AND built alone, end to end (a live link, not mockups) using modern AI coding tools (Cursor, v0, Claude Code, or similar)
- A Design Eye: Your own site or side projects are polished - good typography, spacing, micro-interactions. Craft is the qualification
- Speed and comfort with ambiguity: You ship fast and don't need a stable spec to move, even as the only technical person in the room
- Technical range: You understand how modern web apps actually work: APIs, databases, LLM integration, authentication, cloud deployment
- Product instincts: You challenge assumptions, optimize UX, and can turn a CEO's casual idea into a structured plan: then explain the business 'why' in plain language to non-technical stakeholders
Benefits
- A flexible hybrid work schedule
- Flexibility to work from home
- A direct line to the CEO, if an idea's good, you're building it the same day!
- Real ownership: a collaborative, output-focused contract that respects your autonomy - you design it, build it, and ship it, start to finish.
- No legacy technical debt. You'll be encouraged to use the best AI tooling available as it evolves!
