You’ll partner closely with our executive team, Product Managers, Engineers, and AI experts to go from idea to fully scaled deployment.
Key Responsibilities
Lead User Research & Discovery: Plan and conduct user research to validate hypotheses, uncover new insights, and ensure product decisions align with real-world needs.
Shape Our Design Vision: Define and refine the design strategy, principles, and systems that guide our agentic product line across web and mobile.
Create High-Fidelity Experiences: Drive the entire design process—from sketches and wireframes to polished interfaces and rapid prototypes that showcase AI capabilities.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with our executive team, Product Managers, Engineers, and AI experts to deliver seamless, AI-powered user flows and experiences.
Maintain Design Quality: Uphold and improve our design system, ensuring brand consistency and excellent usability across all touchpoints.
Coach & Mentor: Mentor and develop our design team through regular 1:1’s, setting goals and providing feedback to foster continual growth.
Ship & Iterate Quickly: In a fast-paced environment, balance speed and quality—delivering high-impact solutions without sacrificing good design principles.
Desired Skills and Experiences
8+ Years in Product Design: A track record designing enterprise/B2B SaaS, AI-centric products, or complex workflows is required.
Proven Leadership: Prior experience leading or coaching design teams.
Strong Portfolio: Demonstrated user-centric design thinking, polished UI craftsmanship, and innovative interaction paradigms.
User Research Expertise: Hands-on experience with interviews, usability testing, and synthesizing insights into actionable design requirements.
Technical Prototyping Skills: Ability to rapidly prototype in code (HTML/CSS/JS) or other tools to communicate concepts and validate ideas.
Excellent Communication: Ability to present design decisions clearly, collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners, and can influence without direct authority.
Agile Mindset: Comfortable working in iterative sprints, prioritizing tasks, and juggling multiple projects at once.
You Are
Aligned to Our Values: Ownership. Empathy. We, not me. Transparency. Be different.
Passionate About AI: You’re excited by emerging technologies and seek opportunities to push the boundaries of what’s possible with agentic experiences.
User-Obsessed: You believe great products start with deep user insight. You’re energized by talking to users, uncovering pain points, and translating those into remarkable design solutions.
Comfortable with Ambiguity: High-growth startups move fast. You excel at clarifying direction amidst shifting priorities and thrive in dynamic environments.
Collaborative and Communicative: You value teaching as much as learning, and you articulate design rationale effectively across the organization. You listen closely to feedback and use it to inform better outcomes.
