Deliver design solutions for projects of medium-sized scope and complexity, working largely independently.
Deliver designs for all stages of product development as needed (user flows, wireframes, mockups, AI-generated and interactive prototypes, handover specifications, journey maps) that meet or exceed user needs and have a sense of craftsmanship.
Embrace and advance AI-first design practices, using generative AI and rapid prototyping tools to accelerate exploration, test assumptions early, and push the boundaries of what's possible in our product experience.
Go beyond best practices in your design solutions, uncovering novel and unexpected yet viable solutions.
Guide the UX direction in your product area by familiarizing yourself with user problems for your product area, business goals, and mapping the relevant user journeys.
Collaborate with Product Managers, UX Researchers, Scientists, and Engineers to execute on tasks, align on problem spaces, and deliver impactful, feasible solutions.
Apply data-informed design decisions using qualitative research, analytics, and experimentation to improve product outcomes.
Elevate product quality by contributing to and upholding design systems, documentation, and pattern guidelines.
Identify proactively instances where patterns, product consistency, and UX quality break down within the product, and engage additional senior design members to collaboratively determine scalable solutions for these issues.
Present clear, compelling design narratives, leveraging AI tools to rapidly prototype concepts and communicate design intent to facilitate team and stakeholder alignment on design solutions.
