Product Designer (AI-Enabled Products)

About the role

This is a hands-on design role, not a strategy seat. You will own real design work on real client projects, contribute to how we solve AI product problems, and grow into one of the people who can lead that work over time.

Responsibilities

• Take features and flows from research and concept through to refined, build-ready design across web and mobile, working to the standards and patterns our senior designers set.
• Help design how people interpret and trust what AI produces: showing confidence and uncertainty, surfacing sources, making error states clear, and giving users a path to verify or reject output.
• Design the moments where a person stays in control: review steps, approval points, and clear off-ramps when something looks wrong.
• Work within real-world constraints, including accessibility, clarity, and well-designed failure cases.

Requirements

• User research and facilitation: Comfort running and supporting interviews, workshops, and requirements sessions to understand real workflows, needs, and pain points.
• End-to-end product and interaction design: A portfolio showing you can take concepts to refined, functional, aesthetically strong interfaces aligned to user needs and project requirements.
• Figma fluency for design and clean developer handoff.
• Accessibility and inclusive design as a working practice, not an afterthought.
• Technical literacy: A working sense of feasibility and a willingness to partner closely with engineers so your designs are buildable.
• Clear documentation and communication of interaction and interface components for handoff to our in-house development teams.

Qualifications

• Roughly 3 to 5 years of product or UX design experience is a good fit, though we care more about the quality of your work and how you think than your exact tenure.
• Nice to have: Direct experience designing AI features, data-dense tools, or complex workflows; familiarity with designing for regulated or enterprise environments.

Skills

• Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and methodologies.
• Experience with AI and machine learning concepts and their implications for design.
• Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including engineers and product managers.
• Proficiency in Figma or similar design tools.
• Knowledge of accessibility guidelines and best practices.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and benefits: salary in the range below, plus performance bonuses, medical, dental, and vision coverage, and a matching 401(k).
• Work-life balance: up to three weeks of time off in your first year, plus a supportive and flexible environment.
• Senior-led delivery on real, in-production systems for serious clients, in a small team where your design decisions actually ship and matter.
• Mentorship and growth: direct, daily access to senior designers and engineers, on exactly the kind of AI product work that's hard to get experience in anywhere else.
• Culture: a diverse, sharp, and genuinely fun team that likes pushing the edge of what's buildable. Lunchtime basketball, volleyball, or runs along the Bay are part of the deal.
