Key quotes
· 5 pulledLike many other fields in tech, how design teams operate is shifting dramatically. That means Figma is being used less and less, while agents are being used more and more.
Counter-intuitively though, this means that designers with hard-skills (light coding, speed, design craft) are needed more than ever.
This is not a 9-5. You understand that building a category-defining company requires immense focus and commitment. We are optimizing for the best, and we compensate generously for it.
Within your first month: Ship your first major design project, setting a new bar for quality and user-centricity.
