Job Description

DataAnnotation is hiring an experienced Digital Web Designer - AI Trainer to help evaluate how frontier AI models perform on real visual design tasks. If you enjoy combining professional design judgment with AI tool testing, this contract role lets you work independently and focus on design quality, critique, and measurable comparisons.

What you’ll do

You will create realistic, challenging design briefs using your own professional expertise. Those briefs will then be run through frontier AI design tools, and you will assess the results using the same standard you would apply when reviewing a colleague’s work.

Draft design briefs for web and visual interface tasks
Generate outputs with frontier AI design tools and critique them against professional expectations
Compare two model versions on identical prompts and assets to determine which performed better
Review and critique model-generated interfaces, mockups, layouts, slides, infographics, illustrations, and motion
Identify specific failures with evidence, including alignment and spacing, content overflow and cutoff, typography, visual hierarchy, SVG and illustration quality, ignored assets, and off-brief interpretation
Contribute across related design areas such as software and interactive work, office and presentation design, technical illustration, graphic design, and new media

What you bring

Fluency in English (native or bilingual level)
Background in UI/UX design, web design, product design, or graphic design
Strong understanding of visual hierarchy, layout, typography, interaction design, and user flow
Ability to explain why a design fails, not only that it fails
Comfort working with AI design tools, or the ability to learn them quickly
Bachelor’s education is preferred (in progress or completed), but not required

Contracting benefits

Choose which projects you want to work on and when
Work on your own schedule, on your own computer, from home
Hourly project pay of USD 75 to 125, with bonus rates available on some projects
Payment via PayPal

Important notes

PayPal will handle any currency conversions from USD
DataAnnotation will never ask you for any money
Only applicants in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States will be considered
This role is an independent contractor position

Senior Product Designer — Data-Dense Dashboards & Monitoring UI

BE Networks Cary, NC

Cary, NC

1mo ago Closed

$6,200 - $10,800/mo Part time Dashboard Dashboard Design Data Visualization

This position is no longer accepting applications (closed Sep 22, 2026).

Job Description

BE Networks is hiring a Senior Product Designer to build a data-dense operator web UI for an AI-driven observability and root-cause-analysis platform.

Responsibilities

Build the web UI from the ground up for an operator console network administrators use during outages
Design network topology views with hundreds of devices, links, and logical groupings while maintaining readability
Create alarm and incident surfaces, including severity encoding, rollup and suppression, and “what changed since I last looked”
Design impact analysis to show downstream reach from a single failure and identify affected tenants and services
Design time-series and telemetry views for interface errors, drops, queue congestion, and throughput trends
Design AI-generated root-cause narratives that present evidence, provenance, and confidence for operator auditability
Design human-in-the-loop approval flows for recommended remediation, accounting for real consequences of incorrect actions
Create a dark-mode-first component library and token set that engineers can implement directly
Run usability sessions with practicing network operators to validate concepts prior to build
Work within a two-week sprint cadence alongside engineering, aligning design timing with delivery
Translate engineering intent and operator needs into clear design specs, with additional shaping since there is no PM
Hand off tokens and components in Figma and Claude Design (or similar tooling), plus sufficient React and CSS context so engineers can implement accurately

Requirements

Portfolio demonstrating data-dense work such as dashboards, NOC or ops consoles, admin tooling, trading, or monitoring interfaces (not landing pages)
Proven ability to create information hierarchy under pressure, making 300 rows and a dozen live metrics scannable within seconds
Experience with graph or network visualization at scale, including layout, grouping, and progressive disclosure (Cytoscape.js, D3, G6, Sigma, or equivalent)
Fluency with time-series charting decisions, including when to use heatmaps vs overlaid lines, showing gaps vs zeros, and aligning charts to incident windows
Strong Figma skills plus working knowledge of React and modern CSS
WCAG 2.2 AA fluency, including colorblind-safe severity palettes and status color that does not rely on hue alone
Comfort designing for expert users who want density, keyboard shortcuts, and minimal hand-holding

What You’ll Design

Network topology views with hundreds of devices, links, and logical groupings (avoiding a hairball layout)
Alarm and incident surfaces: severity encoding, rollup and suppression, and “what changed since I last looked”
Impact analysis: downstream reach from a single failure and which tenants and services are affected
Time-series and telemetry views: interface errors, drops, queue congestion, and throughput trends
AI agent root-cause narratives: evidence, provenance, and confidence for operator audit
Human-in-the-loop approval flows for remediation recommendations
Dark-mode-first component library and implementable token set

How You’ll Work

Run usability sessions with practicing network operators to validate concepts before building (BE Networks will help identify participants)
Design within a two-week sprint cadence alongside engineering, avoiding long lead-time design
Translate engineering intent and operator needs into design specs, including shaping work due to no PM
Deliver handoff assets in Figma, Claude Design (or similar tools), plus enough React and CSS guidance for correct implementation

Technologies

Figma, Claude Design, React, CSS
WCAG 2.2 AA
Cytoscape.js, D3, G6, Sigma

Nice to Have

Experience in observability, monitoring, or network management tooling (vendor, internal platform team, or industrial/SCADA HMI)
Familiarity with datacenter networking concepts such as leaf-spine fabrics, link aggregation, multi-tenancy, and network virtualization
Experience designing UI for AI or agentic systems, especially around explainability, confidence, and approval boundaries
Experience building a design system within a small engineering team

Location: Cary, NC (hybrid)

Job type: Part time

Salary: USD 6,200 - 10,800 per monthly
