Job description
We are seeking a Senior UX Product Designer to help shape the next generation of AI-powered experiences across our product ecosystem. In this role, you will work at the intersection of user experience, product strategy, and applied AI, translating complex model capabilities into intuitive, trustworthy, and high-impact workflows.

You will partner closely with product management, product engineering, and data science to build experiences that balance innovation with responsible AI practices. This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in ambiguity, understands the unique behaviors and constraints of AI systems, and can convert them into clear, user-centered solutions.
