Product Designer

What you will be doing

• Design chat-first, agent-driven experiences within established patterns, including how a given insight is presented conversationally and how a user moves from a question to a decision
• Build with our design system and component library and flag gaps and inconsistencies as you hit them
• Partner with Product Managers to turn well-scoped problems into clear flows, states, and high-quality interfaces
• Build prototypes in Figma or AI tools to test design rationale, producing the screens, states, and complex components that support it
• Participate in UX reviews of features, agent responses, generated UI, and layouts before they ship
• Present your work and your reasoning to designers, PMs, and engineers, and iterate quickly on what comes back

What We Are Looking For

• 1-4 years of product design experience
• Proficiency in Figma, creating well-documented designs and prototypes
• Viewable portfolio showing 1-3 case studies or completed projects highlighting your contributions
• Strong eye for visual design, interaction, and user experience highlighting thoughtful hierarchy, spacing, states, and the details most people skip
• Solid UX, UI, and accessibility fundamentals
• Fluency operating within design standards and design systems
• Ability to clearly communicate, explain, and defend design decisions
• Willingness to reflect on past projects and identify how you would improve them
• Receptiveness to feedback and new ideas

Preferred Requirements

• Experience designing data-dense, analytical, or enterprise software interfaces
• Exposure to AI or LLM-powered products, conversational UI, or agentic workflows
• Comfort using AI tools such as Claude and Figma Make as part of your everyday design and prototyping practice
• Working knowledge of front-end concepts such as components, tokens, states, and responsive behavior, sufficient to collaborate credibly with engineers
• Interest in working on defense and government-related projects
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

Valued Skills

• Design system contribution and documentation
• Understanding of interaction and motion design for conversational interfaces
• Comprehension of information architecture and user flow mapping
• Knowledge of accessibility (WCAG) fundamentals
• Prototyping in code or with AI tooling
• Clear written communication and design documentation
