You’ll mentor others, define how features are built, and collaborate with product, engineering, and design to turn complex data into intuitive experiences. A strong background in design, frontend tech, and AI is essential.

Qualifications

10+ years of experience in product design, design/UX/front-end engineering, design systems, or a related discipline.
A bachelor’s degree or higher. A degree in design, computer science, information sciences, psychology, or human‑computer interaction is preferred.
Hands‑on experience with modern front‑end technologies (e.g., HTML/CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React) and evolving design systems.
Experience building AI and agentic experiences, and you are already leveraging AI to speed up and augment your end‑to‑end design and development process.
Expertise with modern AI technologies and ability to apply them to design problems (e.g., MCP, Claude Code, Codex, Skills).
Experience shipping production‑ready experiences and influencing technical and design choices across teams.
Strong understanding of user‑centered design principles, end‑to‑end customer workflows, and the ability to turn new users into habitual users.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Create high‑fidelity, coded prototypes and interaction models that bring complex, AI‑powered workflows to life and clearly communicate product direction.
Own high‑impact initiatives from concept through production, shipping experiences that reflect strong design thinking, technical rigor, and a deep understanding of customer workflows.
Lead technical design discussions, make architectural decisions, and guide cross‑team implementation efforts.
Advance AlphaSense’s design system as a core piece of product infrastructure—defining scalable patterns, enabling consistency, and accelerating teams building across AI‑native experiences.
Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to research and evaluate user requirements, translate them into effective designs, and ensure that the final product meets both user and business needs.
Collaborate with engineering teams during development, advocating for design quality and user experience by championing design fidelity and attention to detail throughout the development lifecycle.
Drive cross‑functional alignment by helping teams navigate tradeoffs between technical constraints, business goals, and user experience to deliver high‑quality outcomes.
AI‑First Execution: Apply an AI‑first mindset to how you design and build—leveraging modern AI tooling, agent‑driven workflows, and code‑based prototyping to accelerate iteration and unlock new product possibilities.
Partner with product and engineering teams to shape how intelligent capabilities are integrated into real user workflows, ensuring outputs are transparent, trustworthy, and usable.
