- UX here ships as code not Figma hand-offs. This is not a look-pretty job: the UI renders live voice desktop and AI event streams in real time and you have to understand the technology underneath events WebSocket state latency plugin loading so what you design flows and works not just looks good.
- Startup environment: 1-week sprints Friday demos fail fast move forward.

Understands the tech underneath WebSocket-driven state event ordering render performance module federation/plugin loading well enough that your designs never fight the architecture.
Strong on dense real-time professional-tool UX (think trading terminals not marketing sites) an agent lives in this UI 8 hours a day.
Accessibility and keyboard-first design as defaults not afterthoughts.
Perceived-performance craft skeletons optimistic updates motion that masks latency; the UI must feel instant even when the networkisnt.
Design tokens as the theming backbone enterprise customers will want branding; tokens make that config not a rewrite.
Overlay/extension constraints fluency designing UI injected over a host page (pill slide-out) with its size z-index and isolation realities.
Usability evidence at startup speed lightweight session recordings and agent feedback loops instead of month-long studies.
