About the role

We're looking for a Product Designer to join our team and reimagine how humans collaborate with AI. You'll be designing the interfaces that make collaborating with AI and building AI assistants feel as intuitive as having a conversation with a friend, colleague or employee. This role requires someone who can navigate extreme complexity while maintaining an unwavering focus on delight and the experience for the user. You'll work directly with our engineers to create design patterns that don't exist yet, shaping how millions will build and collaborate with AI. As an early team member, you'll have outsized impact on our product's evolution and help establish design as a core competitive advantage.

This role is intended for designers with 5+ years of experience who are already operating at a Senior, Staff, or Principal level.

Responsibilities

  1. Design end-to-end user flows for AI agent creation, from natural language input to deployment
  2. Work platform agnostically - you should be comfortable working on mobile interfaces, desktop, and responsive web
  3. Develop interaction patterns for real-time feedback where the assistant comes alive in the experience, while surfacing the right plumbing and mechanics needed in a delightful unobtrusive way
  4. Build and maintain our design system, ensuring consistency across rapidly evolving product surfaces
  5. Prototype novel interfaces using real AI models to validate design decisions with actual system behavior and real users
  6. Partner with engineering to ensure designs perform beautifully at scale
  7. Conduct user research to uncover unmet needs and opportunities
  8. Design for progressive disclosure, revealing complexity only when users need it
  9. Create motion and micro-interactions that make synchronous and asynchronous AI processes feel responsive
  10. Influence product strategy by identifying opportunities through design exploration

Qualifications

This role demands someone who thrives at the intersection of design craft and technical systems.

  1. Have designed complex products that achieved both usability and adoption goals
  2. Demonstrate deep understanding of information and interaction architecture for multi-platform systems
  3. Show expertise in interaction design, including keyboard-first interfaces
  4. Bring strong visual design skills with proven ability to create cohesive, scalable design systems
  5. Excel at prototyping, from paper sketches to high-fidelity interactive demos
  6. Understand interface development concepts and limitations for mobile and web to design feasible solutions
  7. Navigate ambiguity comfortably, creating structure from undefined problem spaces
  8. Communicate design rationale effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  9. Balance user needs with technical constraints without compromising on quality
  10. Show evidence of shipping products that pushed the boundaries of what's possible
  11. Demonstrate systems thinking and ability to see connections others miss

Bonus Points

These capabilities would make you exceptionally suited for shaping the future of AI development.

  1. Built products using LLMs or other AI technologies as a designer or builder
  2. Digital native who leverages AI as a creative partner - using generative models and AI tools as a real competitive advantage in your workflow
  3. Thrive in an AI-native environment where pushing boundaries with these tools is part of the daily practice
  4. Motion design skills for creating fluid, responsive interfaces
  5. Code proficiency enabling you to build functional prototypes or contribute to implementation
  6. Experience with design engineering, bridging design and development workflows
  7. Track record of designing for uncertainty and evolving system capabilities
  8. Background in conversational UI or natural language interfaces
  9. Published writing or talks about product design
  10. Experience designing for both technical and non-technical users in the same product
