AssemblyAI, Inc. in Chicago is seeking a Senior Design Engineer to own the craft and feel of the product experience end to end.

You will design and build the interfaces developers live in, from the Playground to the dashboard, and set the bar on how everything looks, moves, and feels.

  • Translate rough product ideas into polished, high‑fidelity experiences and prototype quickly to test direction.
  • Shape and steward our design system and visual language to scale with the product.
