Visual Designer, Product

About Luma AI

Luma's mission is to build multimodal AI that expands human imagination. Design at Luma paints the vision of what can be, and we are looking for a Visual Designer to help raise the bar for how our product looks and feels.

What You'll Do

• Audit and elevate the product's visual design.
• Review the full product experience with fresh eyes, identifying where the visual quality falls short, and driving meaningful improvements across typography, color, iconography, spacing, and component design.
• Build and own the design system. Systematize the visual language in Figma, defining tokens, components, and usage guidelines that the full design team can build from.
• Bring the design system to life. Using AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code, build a live, interactive version of the design system that engineers and designers will use when building new features.
• This does not require deep coding expertise, but it does require the willingness and ability to build real things with AI.
• Set and hold the visual bar. Be the team's eye for quality. Establish what good looks like and advocate for it consistently across the product.
• Shape how new features look before they're built. Bring a visual perspective to early-stage feature thinking, concepting, exploring directions, and helping the team see what something could be before it becomes a spec.

Who You Are

• You have 7+ years of experience in visual and UI design, with a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft across typography, color, layout, and interaction.
• You think in systems. You understand how to take a strong visual language and turn it into a scalable, consistent foundation rather than a collection of one-off decisions.
• You have built or significantly contributed to a design system, and understand what it takes to make one that a team actually uses.
• You build with AI. You use AI coding tools to produce real outputs, not just mockups.
• You are comfortable directing AI toward a specific goal and iterating until the result meets your standard.
• You have a point of view. You can explain why a design decision is right, not just what it looks like.
• You ship. Your portfolio shows work that made it into production and had a visible impact on the product's quality.
• You have an unusually high craft ceiling. Your work doesn't just look good, it has a point of view, and you can articulate exactly why every decision is right.
• A portfolio showing your experience in design systems is required for consideration.
