Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of AssemblyAI as an employer.

What you need

  • Strong portfolio of shipped product work that demonstrates real design taste and craft
  • Genuine UX and visual design ability, from concept through high-fidelity execution
  • Deep proficiency in Figma, comfortable moving from low-fidelity exploration to high-fidelity, dev-ready designs and maintaining shared component libraries
  • Solid frontend engineering skills, comfortable building production interfaces in modern React and TypeScript
  • Fluency with AI-assisted design and development, and a real instinct for building AI-native interfaces
  • Comfort operating with ambiguity and owning outcomes end to end

Nice to have

  • Motion design chops, comfortable using animation and micro-interactions to make an interface feel alive and guide attention, not just decorate it
  • Illustration or visual storytelling ability, able to create original graphics, diagrams, or brand-aligned artwork that elevates the product and marketing surfaces
  • Experience designing for developer platforms or API-first products, and a feel for what makes technical tools intuitive to build on

What you get

  • Salary range: $180,000 - $240,000

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of additional benefits or perks beyond salary
  • Role involves significant ownership and responsibility in a small team environment
  • Fast-paced, meritocratic culture may not suit everyone
