Compensation
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. This is a craft-first role for someone who cares deeply about the details that make a product feel exceptional.
Where You Come In
We are looking for a Visual Designer who is genuinely exceptional at their craft, with a strong point of view on what makes a product beautiful, coherent, and alive, and the range to both set that standard and build the systems that make it scalable. You will shape the visual quality of our product, elevating what exists and establishing the foundation for what comes next, including the design system that gives engineers and designers a living reference they can actually use when building new features.
We are open to both full-time and contract-to-hire candidates, depending on experience, mutual fit, and team needs.
This is not a redesign-everything role. It is about raising the bar every day, helping the team adopt and build from a strong visual foundation as the product evolves. You are here to make the product extraordinary to look at and interact with, and to give the team the tools to maintain that standard as we grow.
What You'll Do
Audit and elevate the product's visual design. Review the full product experience with fresh eyes, identify where the visual quality falls short, and drive 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.
What Sets You Apart
Experience building a token system from scratch and connecting it to a live codebase.
Experience building a live component library or design system using AI coding tools.
Experience designing for desktop applications. Our product is currently desktop-first, and understanding the nuances of that environment matters.
Location
This role is hybrid, based in our Redwood City office three days per week. Relocation assistance is available for candidates outside the Bay Area.
The base pay range for this role is $260,000 – $325,000 per year.
About LumaLuma’s mission is to build unified general intelligence that can generate, understand, and operate in the physical world.
We believe that multimodality is critical for intelligence. To go beyond language models and build more aware, capable and useful systems, the next step function change will come from vision. So, we are working on training and scaling up multimodal foundation models for systems that can see and understand, show and explain, and eventually interact with our world to effect change.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
