Role overview
You’re also excited about how AI is reshaping design and product workflows. You don’t just use AI tools—you experiment with them, integrate them into prototypes and pipelines, and explore how generative and assistive AI can meaningfully improve user experiences, internal workflows, and design quality. Your primary focus will be building high-impact prototypes that explore new features and experiences across the Peacock ecosystem, while also creating design tools, Figma plugins, and AI-powered utilities that help our teams work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence. What You’ll Do:Partner closely with designers, product managers, engineers, and user researchers to build prototypes that support design exploration, usability testing, experimentation, and stakeholder alignment Rapidly translate abstract ideas and early concepts into interactive, high-fidelity prototypes across web, mo
