UX Creative Technologist, Vice President

About the role

Shape the future of how JPMorganChase designs and builds for nearly 320,000 employees — where code-first craft, AI-native systems thinking, and elegant design converge to raise the bar for what a small team can ship.

Responsibilities

• Lead hands-on creation of the AI-native design system end-to-end — from foundations, tokens, components, patterns, and documentation to a scalable contribution model — as a coded, evolving, living product
• Deliver high production-quality, accessible, sub-atomic code that other teams can build on with confidence
• Design and ship AI agents and automations that make the system generative, self-serve, and self-improving — from foundation scaffolding to on-demand pattern generation
• Establish middle-layer connections, APIs, integration points, and tooling that link the design system to the products, pipelines, and workflows that consume it
• Set the creative engineering and design bar for the system — spanning visual and interaction quality, code architecture, and performance
• Integrate AI natively into daily workflows — including prototyping, generation, and agentic tooling — to accelerate delivery without sacrificing craft
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to embed the design system into leadership tools and key internal product moments
• Serve as a hands-on technical authority, translating complex product and design problems into systems and tooling that teams can align behind and build upon
• Partner with the Design Director and associate designers to push the team's craft and pace, collectively doing the best work of our careers

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience or equivalent expertise in creative technology, design engineering, user experience, design systems, or similar craft-and-code roles
• Exceptional design taste and craft, with demonstrated ability to set and maintain the visual and interaction quality bar
• Proven experience building and scaling design systems as coded infrastructure, with real adoption across multiple teams
• Strong, production-level front-end engineering skills across modern frameworks, token-based systems, accessibility standards, and performance optimization
• Hands-on experience building AI agents, automations, or AI-augmented tooling and shipping them into real workflows
• Strong understanding of UI architecture and front-end technical constraints and requirements for complex applications
• Experience partnering closely with engineering teams and communicating effectively in developer terms
• Background in agency, studio, or high-speed delivery environments, with a track record of shipping high-quality work at pace
• Familiarity with Git-based workflows, including contributing to and pushing changes through shared repositories
• Demonstrated experience applying inclusive design and accessibility guidelines, embedding both into the components and patterns that ship
• Fluency across Figma, VS Code, modern front-end frameworks, and AI coding tools, with a willingness to adopt new tools as they emerge

Qualifications

• Portfolio and codebase that demonstrate design systems, production front-end work, and shipped AI agents together in a single profile
• Experience building AI-native or generative capabilities into a design system, such as design-to-code pipelines, agentic component generation, or automated documentation
• Background in agency, advertising, videogames, design engineering, or future-concepting environments
• Hands-on motion and micro-interaction experience in production applications, comfortable writing interface animation in code (CSS, JS, or Lottie) so motion ships as a living part of the system
• Comfortable operating across the middle layer — connecting front-ends to services, data, and pipelines rather than working only at the UI surface
• Experience leading systems, platforms, or craft initiatives with a track record of raising quality across a team

Skills

• Deep expertise in design systems and AI-augmented engineering
• Expertise in complex applications and systems
• Clear command of how to work with AI — both to generate experiences and to ship agents into a workflow

Benefits

Our team ethos combines a love for design, continuous skill development, and elegant craft delivered at speed. We take complex problems and make them feel immediately obvious through systems, tooling, and AI-augmented workflows — letting a small team ship like a large one and raising the standard for how the Employee Experience organization designs and builds across the firm.
