About the role

  • Lead the end-to-end design of AI-powered experiences across multiple product lines, including agentic workflows, generative interactions, and human-in-the-loop systems
  • Define and evangelize UX strategy across complex problem spaces, setting design direction that influences product roadmaps and strategic priorities
  • Serve as a thought leader in the design of useful, usable, and desirable AI-powered products in a team environment
  • Chart a course for yourself and others in ambiguous situations, leading strategic thinking across teams and mentoring designers
  • Contribute to and shape internal design standards for AI patterns, design guidelines, evaluation criteria, and UX quality benchmarks
  • Translate model behaviors, data inputs, and system limitations into coherent UX patterns that drive user trust and product adoption at scale
  • Prototype with real AI/LLM models to evaluate user prompts, improve model responses, and inform product direction
  • Map and design collaboration patterns between users and AI – defining when AI acts autonomously, when humans take control, and how handoffs occur
  • Create clear interaction flows that incorporate transparency moments, safety guardrails, override options, and recovery states
  • Partner with data science and engineering to shape model requirements, evaluate performance constraints, and align system behaviors with user needs
  • Champion responsible AI principles including transparency, fairness, bias mitigation, and user empowerment across all design work
  • Collaborate and work cross-functionally with design, program, engineering, data science, and product teams from design concept to design solution, setting UX guidelines and creating assets to ensure bar-raising quality all the way to market
  • Present your solutions to design, product, engineering, and senior leadership. Synthesize and manage feedback to incorporate changes appropriately, and iterate the vision and design accordingly
  • Communicate design decisions with clarity, influence senior stakeholders, and guide teams through ambiguous or evolving problem spaces
  • Work strategically with executives and team members across the organization to drive alignment on complex, cross-organizational initiatives
  • Develop use cases and high-level requirements while defining UX strategy and creating user-centered designs utilizing customer feedback, market analysis, and usability findings
  • Partner with UX Research to run usability testing and AI-specific validation studies to understand user mental models, trust factors, and interaction expectations
  • Leverage qualitative and quantitative data to run evaluative studies for AI features (e.g., prompt/response quality, hallucination risk, trust signals)
  • Continually iterate and evolve the way we design and learn from our customers
  • Demonstrate deep systems-thinking skills and comfort designing across multiple layers: UI, data inputs, model constraints, and operational workflows
  • Mentor and coach designers across the organization, elevating design craft and strategic thinking
  • Model best practices in design process, critique, and collaboration
  • Identify opportunities to improve design operations, tools, and processes that benefit the broader design organization
  • Leverage AI tooling and internal content standards to deliver clear, concise, brand-aligned product experiences
  • Design accessible solutions and collaborate with the Accessibility team to ensure WCAG compliance, using AI checks alongside expert review

Requirements

  • Extensive design experience creating simple solutions for complex challenges
  • Experience designing with AI or LLM technologies, including prompt design, generative UX, and evaluating model output quality
  • Strong portfolio of work that illustrates your process, your level of craft, and the measurable results you have driven, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of complex workflows
  • Deep understanding of model behaviors and limitations—hallucinations, confidence levels, deterministic vs. probabilistic output, and data quality impacts
  • Experience working across teams to synthesize feedback and input from product management, engineering, data science, and marketing
  • Strong interaction design skills with the ability to simplify ambiguous AI behaviors into predictable, user-centered experiences
  • Ability to prototype using tools such as v0, Figma Make, Cursor, Python notebooks, model sandboxes, or no-code AI orchestration tools
  • Hands-on experience planning and executing end-to-end user research—defining objectives, recruiting participants, moderating studies, synthesizing insights, and translating findings into roadmap and design decisions
  • Familiarity with Agile development methodologies in high-velocity, cross-functional teams
  • Confidence working in strong, passionate, fast-paced team environments
  • Strong time-management, multi-tasking, and prioritization skills
  • Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills that include experience presenting and influencing senior leadership.
