Product Designer

Job Description

CBS Sports is the digital stadium for millions of fans. While our apps own the

"second screen," our Web platform is where the world comes for the "Big

Story."

We are fundamentally reimagining digital sports journalism. By leaning into

AI-assisted workflows, we’ve unlocked the ability to ship immersive,

"vibe-coded" scrollytelling experiences at a scale and cadence that used to

be impossible. We’re moving past static articles toward data-rich, interactive

events that capture the energy of the game in real-time. We are looking for a

versatile, AI-forward Product Designer to help lead this charge.

About the Role: The High-Polished Hybrid

This isn’t a role for a specialist who stays in one lane. You will be the bridge

between deep-dive journalism and high-end web technology. While much of

your time will be spent creating "Snowfall-style" long-form narratives—using

parallax, fluid animations, and immersive data viz—you are also a core

member of the design team.

Your mandate is broad:

● Immersive Storytelling: Use the latest AI toolsets to turn our biggest

editorial moments into high-fidelity, interactive masterpieces that feel

alive.

● Visual Craft & Ideation: You’ll be called upon to flex your pure visual

muscles—generating logos, iconography, and high-fidelity mockups

that set the tone for new features.

● Prototyping & Systems: You’ll build "holdable" web prototypes to bring

new site tools to life. You understand that "bespoke" must eventually

meet "scalable," and you’ll help design the templates and systems that

allow our storytelling to grow.

How We Build (The Vibe-Code Workflow)

We don't do "handoffs." We work in the gray space between the canvas and

the browser.

● Vibe Coding with AI: You use LLMs (Cursor, Claude, or similar) as a force

multiplier. You’re comfortable "designing in code"—using AI to help you

see how a transition or a layout actually feels in the browser before it

ever hits a production repo.

● Visual Polish is a Team Sport: Whether you're in Figma or the browser,

you sweat the details. You have a "print-mag" level of obsession with

typography and a sharp eye for modern UI.

● Bespoke vs. Scalable: You can switch gears from a one-off interactive

feature to thinking about how that feature becomes a reusable

template for the entire CBS Sports ecosystem.

Your Toolkit: AI + The Browser

● AI-Native: AI is the bedrock of your workflow. You use it to generate

logic, explore edge cases, and build interactive components quickly.

● Strong Visual DNA: You have a high bar for craft. You are as

comfortable designing a logo or an icon set as you are mapping out a

complex interactive scroll experience.

● Systems Thinking: You understand the foundational architecture of

digital products. You know how to work within a design system while

knowing exactly when to push the boundaries for a bespoke project.

● Technical Literacy: You have a functional understanding of CSS/HTML

and how the web works. You don’t need to be a developer, but you need

to be confident enough to direct AI tools to build what you envision.

Skills and Requirements

Versatility: You’re happy to spend one day on a high-end interactive

package and the next day on high-fidelity mockups for a new site utility

or internal tool.

● Performance & Optimization: You understand that "immersive" should

never mean "slow." You have the literacy to ensure your designs are

optimized for every fan, on every device.

● Editorial Empathy: You love the "soul" of the game. You understand the

narrative arc of a sports season and know which moments deserve a

"hero" treatment.

● Ambiguity Tolerance: We are building the plane while flying it. You

have high agency and don’t need a rigid spec doc to start "vibing" on a

solution.

The Receipts (Qualifications)

● Portfolio of Living Work: We want to see live web links or high-fidelity

prototypes. Show us where your visual craft and interaction decisions

meet.

● The AI Workflow: Be prepared to talk about how you use AI tools

(Cursor, Claude, etc.) to move faster and build more complex

experiences than you could on your own.

● Slope Over Intercept: We care about your rate of improvement and

your hunger to adopt new tools to tell better stories.
