Generative Design Associate

Coframe is looking for a Generative Design Associate to help shape the web experiences our agents create for some of the world’s largest companies.

This is a hands-on role for an early-career designer with exceptional visual judgment, obsessive attention to detail, and an interest in how AI is changing the way interfaces are designed and built. You’ll work directly with our Agent Strategy and engineering teams to prompt, refine, QA, and ship high-quality customer experiences — moving quickly while maintaining an extremely high bar for craft.

You’ll be based in our San Francisco office and work alongside a senior team building at the intersection of AI, experimentation, design, and the web. This role is required to be onsite 5 days/week in San Francisco.

About Coframe

Coframe is building the future of living interfaces — digital experiences that continuously generate, test, learn, and improve themselves.

Instead of teams manually designing and shipping one static experience at a time, Coframe’s agents can autonomously generate and optimize web experiences based on real user behavior. Our technology has already driven more than $250M in incremental revenue, and we work with companies including OpenAI, Apple, Intuit, Dropbox, Cash App, and Replit.

We’ve raised $35M from Khosla Ventures, Nat Friedman, and founders and leaders from companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, Webflow, Framer, Dropbox, and Intercom. We’re a small, highly technical team working on a new category of software, and we care deeply about the quality of everything we put into the world.

What You’ll Do

• Design through prompting. Work with AI systems to describe and iterate toward the right visual direction — from layout and hierarchy to motion, tone, and overall feel.

• Refine AI-generated interfaces. Take generated concepts and turn them into polished, production-quality web experiences with precise typography, spacing, color, and visual hierarchy.

• Maintain a high customer quality bar. Review experiences across devices, breakpoints, and states; catch inconsistencies early; and ensure everything we ship feels intentional and on-brand.

• Translate brand systems into web experiences. Work from customer brand guidelines, existing sites, design systems, and creative direction to produce work that feels native to each brand.

• Build reusable design patterns. Contribute components, tokens, references, and patterns that help our agents and team produce consistently better work.

• Partner closely with Agent Strategists and engineers. Work side-by-side with the team in our San Francisco office to rapidly iterate from an idea to something live.

What We’re Looking For

• Exceptional attention to detail. You notice when spacing is slightly off, typography feels wrong, or an interaction lacks polish — and you care enough to fix it.

• Strong visual and UI fundamentals. You have a portfolio showing thoughtful work across layout, typography, hierarchy, composition, and interaction design. Student, personal, freelance, and professional work are all welcome.

• Strong web instincts. You understand responsive design, common web patterns, and what makes an interface feel polished in the browser.

• Comfort working iteratively. You enjoy trying multiple directions, responding quickly to feedback, and improving something until it feels right.

• High ownership and reliability. You follow through, communicate clearly, and can be trusted with work that will ultimately reach customers.

• Curiosity about AI-native design. You’re excited by the idea that the designer’s role is evolving from manually creating every artifact to directing, evaluating, and improving systems that generate them.

• On-site availability. You’re able to work from our San Francisco office.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Figma, including components, auto-layout, constraints, and shared styles.

• Familiarity with HTML/CSS or how front-end interfaces are implemented.

• Experience designing landing pages, growth experiences, or conversion-focused interfaces.

• Exposure to design systems or component libraries.

• Experience using tools like Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or other generative design/coding tools as part of your workflow.

Contract Details

• Engagement: Independent contractor, paid hourly. Rate dependent on experience: $36–$45/hour.

• Commitment: 20–40 hours/week

• Location: On-site at Coframe’s San Francisco office. This is not a remote role.

• Duration: Initial one-month engagement, with the potential to extend.

How to Apply

Apply through this posting and include a link to your portfolio. We care much more about the quality of your work and your eye for detail than the number of years you’ve been designing. A portfolio is required to be considered.
