Job description

The Design Producer is the operational force that keeps the R&D Human Interface Design studio running and products shipping. You will own end-to-end design across Meta's Reality Labs device portfolio, orchestrating cross-functional execution at high craft and speed.

You’ll partner with the project lead to co-author production strategy, assemble and lead sprint teams, navigate hardware and software constraints and opportunities, building AI-native workflows that fundamentally change how design production works. This is not program management — it's technical production leadership with creative authority.

• 8+ years of experience in production, program management, or operational leadership within product design, hardware/software development, or a related creative/technical field
• Experience shipping consumer products that span hardware and software
• Track record managing complex, cross-functional productions end-to-end through the full development lifecycle
• Working knowledge of hardware/software integration and the ability to engage with engineering on system constraints and architecture decisions
• Experience with AI tools and workflows in a production or design operations context
• Experience evaluating design quality against established standards and providing actionable, structured feedback to improve outcomes
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Familiarity with software development lifecycles, agile/sprint methodologies, and shipping software at scale
• Familiarity with AR/VR product development and the constraints of wearable or embedded software
• Experience building AI-powered tools or automations for creative or software production workflows
• Ability to articulate testable product hypotheses and translate strategy into actionable plans
• Experience in a producer role within software development, film, games, industrial design, or consumer hardware
• Experience balancing creative vision with technical software execution, including making trade‑off decisions across both domains
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Background working in studio-model environments
• Understanding of software architecture, APIs, platform dependencies, and how design decisions impact engineering implementation
