Designer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Able to take ambiguous or conflicting input from enterprise customers — via solutions, sales, or direct research — from framing through a scoped, buildable spec, owning the interaction model and visual execution rather than one or the other and distinguishing a stated request from the underlying need.
• Able to evaluate whether a workflow needs a visible UI at all, weighing whether the outcome is observable, reversible, and auditable before deciding AI can handle it invisibly.
• Comfortable building interactive, near-functional prototypes, using code or AI-assisted tools, to test a direction before it's fully specced.
• Experienced with prompt engineering to build and test conversational agents.
• Working understanding of what AI can and can't do reliably (accuracy, latency, context limits) — enough to judge feasibility of AI product capabilities and limitations.
• Uses AI to prototype interactions quickly, generate and compare component variations, and identify where a workflow can be delegated to AI instead of built as UI.
• Experience extending and maintaining a component-based design system, with the judgment to know when an existing pattern should be reused and when a new one is actually justified.
• Strong focus on end users, key decision makers and value provided.
• Comfortable conducting discovery research and usability tests and using that input to inform design decisions.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design for features across Degreed's learning and skills platform, from problem framing and discovery through specs and QA through launch and impact.
• Lead customer calls or seek customer feedback directly to build design and product sense.
• Consistently push to improve quality, usability, and user experience.
• Extend and maintain Degreed’s design system, evaluating when a new component is warranted versus when an existing one should be reused.
• Audit existing surfaces, such as admin settings, profile, and core learning workflows, and rework them to reduce inconsistency as the product grows.
• Decide, for every new workflow, whether it needs a visible UI at all, and what AI can handle invisibly versus what still needs to stay observable and auditable for the user.
• Design conversational and agent-facing experiences alongside traditional UI, extending the design system and emerging AI interaction patterns rather than treating them as a separate design language.
• Partner with product and tech leads to scope work and define the requirements.
• Present work in design review and incorporates cross-functional feedback while protecting the core interaction model from erosion.
• Act as the expert for the pod / product areas of focus, being a key stakeholder for questions from cross functional stakeholders.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and success.
