The developer designs and builds interfaces for AI-enabled applications, dashboards, and workflows, from research and wireframes through prototypes, interaction and visual design, and production front-end code. The role works with AI engineers and product owners in two-week Agile sprints using Government-approved repositories and tools, and communicates design decisions and research findings to internal and external stakeholders. It also involves usability assessment, accessibility testing and remediation, and preparation of training materials and release documentation.

Demonstrated Section 508/WCAG 2.1 A and AA conformance work, screen reader or assistive technology testing, and usability testing with documented, measurable design improvements.
Working understanding of AI-governance boundaries for federal systems, including when AI output requires human review or approval before regulatory or operational action.
Experience working on Agile teams with Git and Jira.
Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Design, Human Factors, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
