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.

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

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

Nice To Haves

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

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
