You’ll be responsible for designing and building features that make it faster and more powerful to create functional demos. You should have strong instincts for both AI-powered product experiences and the underlying technical systems to make them real. ### What you’ll work on: * Design and implement agentic workflows that help users generate UI layouts, flows, and content automatically * Build AI-powered copilots that assist with creating components, writing code, and refining interfaces * Implement RAG systems that leverage documentation, design systems, and component libraries * Optimize for speed, determinism, and quality across creative and structured AI outputs * Push the boundaries of what’s possible in an AI-first design + build environment ### You might be a fit if you’ve: * Built AI features for design tools (e.g. auto-layout, design-to-code, style transfer) * Created developer copilots (e.g. natural language to UI, code completion, intelligent suggestions) * Worked with vector graphics, color palettes, or typography AI * Integrated AI into design systems, no-code tools, or IDEs * Used GPT-4, Claude 3+, and open-source models in production * Built advanced prompt-engineered workflows that balance creativity and accuracy * Worked with ASTs, design tokens, or component trees * Made AI outputs context-aware (e.g. understanding canvas or code state) ### Bonus if you’ve: * Experience with semantic embeddings for search and retrieval * Contributed to or built internal tooling for prompt testing and LLM evaluation * A strong product sense and love building intuitive UI/UX alongside designers ### Why Coast: We’re a lean, fast-moving team that’s obsessed with product and serving our customers. You’ll work directly with our founders, ship ambitious products, and help define the future of AI-powered software creation. ---
