About the role
Seeking a Senior Product Designer for a 6+ month contract opportunity in Irving, TX. Fully onsite. No C2C.
Responsibilities
- Turn product problems into system standards.
- Own complex initiatives from problem definition through implementation.
- Decide what becomes a shared pattern, what stays product-specific, and why.
- Use accessibility requirements, product usage, adoption, and implementation friction to determine what the system should standardize, change, or retire.
- Contribute to governance and contribution models that keep those decisions durable.
- Codify and verify standards humans and agents can use.
- Help define the experience requirements and standards that should become consumable by AI-assisted development tools.
- Turn recurring experience decisions, including approval, agent status, recovery, and accessibility requirements, into structured rules, metadata, examples, and tests.
- Partner with Design Systems leadership and engineering to shape the machine-readable contract and how conformance is evaluated.
- Establish reusable agentic patterns.
- Define how delegation works in our products and how the system earns greater autonomy through demonstrated reliability.
- Design complex, stateful interactions that make oversight, intervention, edge cases, and recovery clear and consistent.
- Prototype working behavior.
- Move beyond static screens when behavior is the problem.
- Prototype interactions, states, transitions, and agentic behaviors at the fidelity needed to make sound decisions.
- Partner closely with engineers to ensure the intended experience carries through into production.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree is required; equivalent evidence of scope, systems judgment, and accomplishment is valued.
- Portfolio must include one system pattern presented end to end, from the experience problem and alternatives considered through the resulting standard and implementation.
- Portfolio should clearly show the boundaries between what belonged in the shared system, what remained product-specific, and why.
- 5+ years of product design experience, with substantial experience designing or evolving systems used across multiple products or teams. Equivalent evidence of scope and accomplishment matters more than years alone.
- Created a system standard, pattern, or capability used by teams beyond your immediate product team.
- Designed sophisticated interactions across states, edge cases, accessibility, failure, and recovery.
- Translated design intent into structured specifications, tokens, rules, metadata, or other artifacts that support consistent implementation.
- Worked extensively with design tokens and understand how they connect design decisions to implementation across a system.
- Worked closely with engineering from concept through implementation.
Skills
- Experience with AI, automation, or agentic products.
- Experience designing complex B2B or enterprise products.
- Familiarity with machine-readable design systems standards, metadata, schemas, conformance rules, or verification approaches is valuable, as is familiarity with MCP and AI-assisted developmental tooling.
- Experience working in complex enterprise product environments or on design systems serving multiple products and teams.
