Principal Creative Technologist
As the Principal Creative Technologist, you will lead the evolution of our design system into a dynamic, generative framework. You will not just design static screens; you will design the logic that allows interfaces to adapt to non-deterministic AI outputs. You will sit at the heart of our AI‑Native design system engineering team, bridging the gap between high‑fidelity “pixel‑perfect” craft and “logic‑perfect” system design. Your mission is to move Cotality beyond traditional design thinking into a world of agentic workflows and multimodal feedback loops.
