This role is specifically focused on building convincing front-end demos for client meetings, sales conversations, and early product validation. You will take rough ideas, client feedback, and early requirements, then use Claude Code to create attractive working application demos before the full application is built. You do not need an extensive traditional software-engineering background. We care most about your ability to use Claude Code effectively, apply strong visual and product judgement, and turn rough ideas into high-quality client demos quickly. We are not looking for someone whose main output is Figma files or static designs. We need someone who can build the actual interactive front end for demos: dashboards, portals, forms, workflows, navigation, tables, and realistic user journeys. What you'll do * Work directly with founders to turn rough product ideas into polished, client-ready demos quickly. * Use Claude Code to design and build interactive front-end application demos. * Create realistic dashboards, portals, forms, workflows, tables, navigation, and data-heavy interfaces for demonstrations. * Turn incomplete briefs into clear, intuitive, visually credible client demo experiences. * Make rapid updates before and after client meetings in response to feedback. * Build reusable interface patterns so future client demos can be produced faster. * Proactively identify missing screens, weak user journeys, and opportunities to improve each demo. * Help prepare successful demos for handover to the wider engineering team if they progress into a real product. ## Related Videos - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [ Your Code Is the Sales Team Now](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100327-your-code-is-the-sales-team-now) - [Is the web ready for voice user interfaces?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1142-is-the-web-ready-for-voice-user-interfaces) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) ## Related Articles - [10 Essential Figma Plugins for Frontend Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/262-10-essential-figma-plugins-for-frontend-developers-in-2023) - [Dev Digest 113 - Debugging above the cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/422-dev-digest-113-debugging-above-the-cloud) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [25 Essential Tools for Front End Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/210-25-essential-tools-for-front-end-developers) - [Dev Digest 139 - Soft and hard queries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/487-dev-digest-139-soft-and-hard-queries)
