Job description

A Product Design Engineer with this title usually blends interface design with front end building, turning product ideas into working screens. A strong candidate brings a portfolio of shipped product work, comfort with design tools and code, and the ability to make complex workflows feel simple. At a company building a model of production software and AI agents, clear visual explanation of technical systems matters.

How it fits the AI era

AI shifts this role toward designing how people direct and read AI agents, not just static screens. Prototyping gets faster, so judgment about what to show, when, and how to keep people in control stays human. The craft of making complex systems understandable becomes more valuable, not less.

How it builds AI experience

This role offers hands on practice designing interfaces where AI agents do work alongside people, which is a growing skill. Building a small project that shows an agent workflow with clear feedback and recovery steps would demonstrate that. Familiarity with developer tools helps, since the product serves technical users.

Worth showing

• Design and front end code
• Complex workflow simplification
• Clear systems thinking
