Figwork is an AI talent marketplace that trains and manages human intelligence in the new digital age, connecting student talent with businesses.

Our goal is straightforward: help students find paid work and help businesses decide which talent to hire for each contract based on data-backed skill profiles.

Our platform builds the talent infrastructure that connects students with their domain expertise to businesses, including a self-evolving algorithm that tracks and evaluates students' profiles based on their past gig performance/uploaded information and a frictionless transaction experience ON ONE PLATFORM.

We believe such a platform is necessary in the current economy, especially as AI starts to displace the human workforce. In the next few years, freelance/gig markets will see a surge in supply and demand as companies move away from expensive full-time hiring to outsourcing projects to flexible, on-demand teams for higher ROI. The students are the first to feel the impact.

Figwork stands at the intersection of this new talent economy.

• End-to-end ownership of the core product experience across worker, business, and internal tools
• Designing AI-native interfaces that communicate confidence, uncertainty, and system decisions clearly
• Defining interaction patterns for task lifecycle, quality control, retries, and failure recovery
• Establishing and evolving a cohesive design system across UX, UI, and visual language
• Translating model behavior and research outputs into intuitive, human-centered experiences
• Making early product and design decisions that shape long-term platform coherence and trust

• 3–5 years of professional product design experience shipping real, complex products
• Strong systems thinking: ability to design flows, states, and edge cases—not just screens
• Deep understanding of UX for marketplaces, workflows, or multi-sided platforms
• Designing for AI-powered systems, including latency, uncertainty, and non-deterministic outcomes
• High standards for interaction design, visual hierarchy, and information architecture
• Operating with high ownership in a fast-moving, early-stage environment

• Collaborating with research partners to translate model capabilities into production-ready UX
• Defining UX constraints, evaluation signals, and user-facing representations of AI decisions

As the company grows, strong performers will take on broader ownership of product design, design systems, and design leadership, with a clear path toward senior design leadership.
