AI Product Designer

Accountabilities:

• Own the end-to-end UX definition for a product area, identifying user needs and translating them into effective interface elements, interactions, and behaviors in partnership with Product.
• Serve as the key decision-maker for quality-versus-speed trade-offs within your scope, adapting design depth to release priorities while maintaining a high standard of user experience.
• Develop deep knowledge of user workflows through direct research, user conversations, workflow mapping, and documentation of the human and organizational context behind product needs.
• Own pattern and interaction decisions within your product area while contributing to a consistent design language and system across the broader product.
• Evaluate emerging AI user-experience patterns and determine thoughtfully when and how they should be applied to specific use cases.
• Combine established UX/UI design practices with AI-native workflows to produce high-quality work across different levels of fidelity and complexity.
• Use AI design tools fluently as part of the design process, applying them to accelerate exploration, execution, and quality rather than simply adding AI for its own sake.
• Document design intent through visual artifacts and clear written guidance that can be understood and acted upon by both human collaborators and agentic tools.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to move initiatives forward, communicate design rationale, and make practical decisions that support successful releases.
• Contribute to broader team workflows and practices, helping improve how designers use AI tools and methodologies to increase effectiveness and consistency.

Requirements:

• Demonstrated experience independently owning UX for a product area or complex workflow from user research and problem definition through shipped interface decisions.
• Strong expertise in foundational UX/UI principles, interaction design, and product design, with a proven ability to make and communicate thoughtful trade-offs between quality, speed, scope, and fidelity.
• Hands-on experience developing deep user and workflow expertise through direct research, user interviews, workflow mapping, and structured documentation.
• Experience strategically and tactically implementing at least one significant AI-powered workflow within a SaaS application.
• Strong understanding of emerging AI UX patterns, with a clear methodology for evaluating which approaches are appropriate for specific user needs and use cases.
• Advanced proficiency with AI-powered design tools and workflows, combined with an intermediate understanding of how foundation models work and the practical trade-offs they introduce.
• Experience contributing to design-system or pattern decisions beyond an individual project is preferred.
• Solid knowledge of accessibility and interaction-design fundamentals, with the ability to communicate these principles effectively to collaborators.
• Active participation in the design systems community through writing, speaking, open-source work, or comparable contributions is a plus.
• Demonstrated interest in improving team-wide workflows and increasing the effective use of AI tools and practices, beyond optimizing individual productivity.
• Ability to operate independently in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment, ramp quickly, exercise sound judgment, and confidently communicate design decisions.
