Aquent is seeking exceptional talent to partner with a globally recognized leader in digital media and content creation. This innovative company is at the forefront of shaping how millions around the world experience and interact with digital content. By joining their team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to directly influence the future of user experiences, contributing to products that touch lives daily and leveraging cutting-edge AI to solve complex challenges and unlock new possibilities.

Are you a visionary who thrives at the intersection of design and engineering? Do you love transforming abstract concepts into tangible, interactive experiences that redefine how users engage with technology? We are looking for a highly skilled individual to join a pioneering team, where your expertise in rapid prototyping and technical execution will be instrumental in exploring groundbreaking user-facing products and building intelligent tools that revolutionize internal workflows. This is your chance to make a profound impact, shaping the next generation of digital interaction and driving innovation with emerging AI technologies.

What You’ll Do

Translate early-stage ideas and abstract concepts into compelling interactive prototypes, making potential user experiences concrete and testable.

Develop AI-powered tools designed to optimize internal workflows, empowering teams to discover more efficient and innovative ways of working.

Craft prototypes across a spectrum of fidelity, from quick, experimental explorations to robust implementations suitable for in-depth user testing.

Facilitate user feedback sessions with both internal teams and external users, leveraging insights to challenge assumptions and refine solutions.

Actively experiment with the latest AI models and tools, uncovering new capabilities, interaction patterns, and valuable use cases.

Bring clarity and direction to ambiguous problems through hands-on exploration, continuous iteration, and a proactive approach.

Effectively communicate complex concepts and key learnings through working prototypes, directly influencing critical product decisions.

What You Bring

Minimum Qualifications

5 years of demonstrated experience in front-end development, technical UX design, or prototyping.

Your Mindset & Approach

Comfortable with ambiguity: You are adept at making progress even when problems are undefined, technology is evolving, or the path forward is unclear.

Think by making: You instinctively use code and tangible artifacts as primary tools to explore ideas, validate possibilities, and articulate concepts.

People-first: You deeply value direct user feedback, actively seeking it out to challenge assumptions and continuously improve solutions.

Adaptable across fidelity levels: You are equally comfortable crafting quick, disposable experiments as you are building more robust prototypes for extended testing.

Curious about emerging AI: You possess a genuine enthusiasm for exploring new AI models and tools, pushing their boundaries, and identifying applications that deliver meaningful value to users.
