5d•$160,000 - $235,000•Remote

About The Position

Kamiwaza is hiring a Senior UX Designer to make complex enterprise AI workflows clear, useful, and trustworthy. Reporting to the CTO, the designer will turn customer needs into experiences that help people connect data, work with AI agents, and collaborate confidently. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role spanning research, interaction and visual design, prototyping, and design systems. The designer will work closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and customer-facing teams, carrying design decisions from discovery through implementation review and post-release learning. Kamiwaza uses AI throughout its work and expects strong human judgment about what to build and whether it works. The role is full-time and remote for candidates based in the United States who can collaborate within U.S. business hours. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship. The interview takes place in person in Colorado, with Kamiwaza coordinating arrangements and covering reasonable travel and lodging expenses. Engineering owns production implementation; Product owns product strategy and prioritization; Marketing retains brand and naming authority.

Requirements

A record of senior-level ownership of complex software experiences, with shipped outcomes and clear evidence of individual contribution.
Strong interaction and visual-design craft, including information hierarchy, typography, layout, responsive behavior, and clear interface writing.
Demonstrated understanding of branding and experience translating brand strategy, visual identity, and tone of voice into usable, accessible product experiences in partnership with Marketing.
Practical research skills, including framing questions, interviewing users, observing workflows, testing usability, and turning findings into design decisions.
Sound judgment in ambiguous situations: identify underlying needs, challenge assumptions, explain trade-offs, and choose a useful, feasible scope.
Fluency with AI-assisted design workflows, including interactive prototyping, and ability to explain how outputs are validated and sensitive information is handled.
Experience applying accessible design principles and reusable patterns to real products.
Effective collaboration with engineers through implementation and release, with enough technical understanding to discuss constraints and evaluate working behavior.
Clear written and verbal communication, a constructive approach to critique, and a portfolio showing decisions, validation, and results.
Based in the United States, able to collaborate within U.S. business hours, and authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing enterprise software, data platforms, developer tools, or products with complex permissions and collaboration.
Experience with AI agents, retrieval, generated content, or other interfaces where outcomes are uncertain and user control matters.
Experience building and evolving a design system that teams adopt, including tokens and guidance for AI-assisted implementation.
Ability to create prototypes in code or work closely with engineers on them; production-engineering ownership is not required.
Experience learning from customers in security-conscious or regulated environments, including through field teams when direct access is constrained.

Responsibilities

Research customer workflows with Product, commercial users, and Federal-team proxies; understand administrators’, operators’, and end users’ goals and constraints; make assumptions explicit and validate them with evidence.
Simplify workflows and interfaces across onboarding, application discovery, data connections, agent interactions, permissions, and collaboration, making progress, empty states, errors, and recovery paths clear.
Design AI experiences that communicate capabilities and limits, make sources and results inspectable, and give users appropriate control over approvals, corrections, and consequential actions.
Own interaction and visual design, including information architecture, flows, responsive layouts, interface copy, and polished prototypes; conduct usability studies, compare alternatives, and refine designs based on observed user behavior.
Partner with Marketing and Engineering to develop accessible, brand-aligned interface patterns, shared design tokens, and guidance for consistent implementation by engineers and AI tools.
Address keyboard interaction, focus, contrast, and meaningful states in design guidance, and test how the guidance works in real interfaces.
Use AI for research synthesis, exploration, interactive prototyping, critique, and documentation; validate material outputs against sources and user evidence, protect confidential information, and remain accountable for design decisions.
Partner with Engineering on feasibility, implementation details, and release quality; review working software against design intent and usability findings, then follow up after release.
Make priorities and trade-offs explicit with Product, and partner with Marketing to translate brand standards into product experiences.
Define success measures with Product and Engineering, including task completion, time-to-value, adoption, usability, and consistent implementation; use those signals to guide improvements and show their impact.
Establish a shared understanding of priority customer journeys and a practical cadence for discovery and usability testing during the first few months.
Partner with the team to ship a focused workflow improvement, establish a baseline, and show what changed for users through observation and available product data.
Put an initial set of accessible patterns and design guidance into use on a live product flow, aligned with Marketing’s brand work and improved through engineering feedback.
