Partner with product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to shape user journeys, requirements, product flows, and success metrics.
Create flows, prototypes, interaction models, and polished UI that make complex work feel approachable.
Evolve Gradial's design system, product patterns, and interaction standards as the product scales.
Use customer feedback, product data, research, internal audits, and strong judgment to guide design decisions.
Tell clear, compelling product stories that help teams align around user problems, design direction, and tradeoffs.
A portfolio that shows strong product thinking, systems thinking, interaction design, visual craft, and real product impact.
A front-row seat to building category-defining AI infrastructure
Have an innate drive for being 1% better than the day before, building towards greatness.
Thrive in fast-paced, hyper-growth environments where building better > maintaining status quo.

Significant experience (6-8 years) designing complex B2B, SaaS, enterprise, AI, workflow, productivity, or collaboration products.
Ability to make complex workflows feel simple, clear, and trustworthy.
Comfort working in ambiguity and turning loose problems into clear product experiences.
Experience partnering closely with product, engineering, customer-facing teams, and leadership.
Experience designing AI, automation, enterprise workflow, martech, content, collaboration, or productivity products.

The right experience can make AI feel useful instead of confusing, enterprise workflows feel lightweight instead of overwhelming, and complex systems feel calm, clear, and trustworthy.
