Staff Product Designer, AI

About the role

This role is accountable for the full observe → reason → decide → act → measure → improve loop across the product. It involves designing agentic surfaces, action execution UX, autopilot controls and guardrails, AI UX system primitives, measurement and learning loops, and influencing the AI product roadmap directly.

Responsibilities

• Lead design for an embedded agentic experience that is proactive, quietly powerful, and never overwhelming.
• Partner closely with ML, data, and engineering to translate model capability into human-understandable, actionable experiences that work in the messy real world.
• Define the UX contract for tool-calling: what actions exist, what inputs they require, what constraints and permissions apply, and what the safe defaults are.
• Create experience maps and flows that scale gracefully from guided → assisted → autonomous behaviour as creator trust develops over time.
• Drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Data, and Trust on the principles and patterns that make agentic behaviour coherent and safe across the product.
• Establish the success metrics and qualitative signals — adoption, trust, undo rates, satisfaction, measured impact — that will guide iteration and give the team honest feedback on what's working.
• Influence the AI product roadmap directly, providing design oversight that ensures coherent AI experiences across creation, insights, monetisation, and trust surfaces.
• Raise the bar for AI design craft across the broader design team — through reviews, critiques, pattern documentation, and knowledge-sharing that helps every designer working on intelligence-adjacent features do it better.
