Job description

Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to craft intuitive, trustworthy, and human-centered experiences for our AI-driven products. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and our business teams to translate complex AI capabilities into clear, usable interfaces. This role is ideal for someone who’s comfortable wearing multiple hats (moving fluidly between research, strategy, interaction design, and high‑fidelity UI) and who thrives in an evolving environment.

Please note this is a temporary-to-hire position.

Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end product experiences—from discovery and concept exploration to polished UI and developer‑ready specs
• Translate AI model behaviors, system feedback, and data outputs into understandable, user‑friendly interactions
• Build flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high‑fidelity visuals that communicate complex ideas with simplicity
• Collaborate with product, engineering, marketing, and business team members to define requirements and ensure responsible, user‑aligned design
• Document patterns and contribute to the evolution of our design system for AI‑specific components (e.g., chat interfaces, generative data visualizations)
• Run or support user research, usability testing, and iterative experimentation to validate and improve designs
• Partner closely with engineering to deliver high‑quality implementations and refine interactions post‑launch

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in UX/UI, Product Design, or Interaction Design
• A portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product work, systems design, dashboards, or AI/ML interfaces
• Experience with building Figma design systems and components
• Familiar with AI‑assisted design tools for prototyping and production, such as Claude Design, Figma Make, and Cursor
• Strong understanding of UX principles, design thinking, and how to simplify complex information
• High craft in visual/UI design—clean layouts, thoughtful typography, and an eye for detail
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and work autonomously while collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or contributing to design systems
• Familiarity with basic front‑end concepts (HTML/CSS or React understanding is a plus)
• Familiarity with A/B testing, data‑driven design, and other user research methods
• Motion design or prototyping skills (After Effects, Figma, ProtoPie)
• Passionate about advocating for clarity, transparency, accessibility, and ethical design principles across AI surfaces

Work Environment

• Location: This position is Hybrid. This role allows for a combination of remote and on‑site work. The specific schedule will be determined in coordination with your manager.

Compensation

• The compensation for this position will be competitive and commensurate with experience. The estimated salary range for this role is 120,000 - 155,000 USD.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work at the forefront of AI technology
• Collaborative and innovative work environment
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Professional development and growth opportunities
• Chance to make a significant impact on the company's success
