About the role

  • We appreciate designers who think deeply, speak clearly, love collaboration and feedback, and are always learning about best practices to master their craft.
  • This role will initially be focused on Apollo's Extension and Settings surfaces, helping bring a higher bar of quality and intentionality to how users interact with Apollo outside the core web app.

Responsibilities

  • Design intuitive, explainable, and user-centered experiences that integrate seamlessly into Apollo's product ecosystem, surfacing contextual intelligence, automation, and LLM-driven experience in ways users can understand and trust.
  • Collaborate with AI engineers and data scientists to understand model capabilities, limitations, and optimal UX patterns and translate that understanding into clear interaction models that balance automation with user control.
  • Lead design for the Extension and Admin surfaces, ensuring they meet a high bar of quality, coherence, and utility across the diverse contexts where users encounter Apollo.
  • Use AI tools aggressively in your own workflow for ideation, rapid prototyping, research synthesis, and iteration and help raise the bar for how the team uses them.
  • Partner with PMs, Engineers, and Analysts to identify user needs, pain points, and opportunities through research, data, and experimentation.
  • Design for scale and consistency by contributing to and building upon Apollo's cross-surface design system in Figma.
  • Prototype, test, and iterate rapidly, using user feedback and behavioral data to validate solutions and drive toward the best experience - not just a defensible one.
  • Collaborate with your squad during Weekly Sprint Planning and Daily Standups to ensure the highest-quality experience is being built, and conduct design QA to close the gap between spec and ship.
  • Collaborate with other Designers to provide feedback, share best practices, and maintain a cohesive experience across the product.
  • We're hiring a Senior Product Designer who is deeply AI-native in how they work and how they design.

Requirements

  • You work in an AI-first way.
  • Strong discernment: you can evaluate AI-generated output critically, identify what's wrong or missing, and know when to accept, redirect, or discard a direction.
  • You are the editorial layer that makes AI useful.
  • 6+ years of experience designing and shipping complex web-based products founded in data and customer insights.
  • You work in an AI-first way. You use LLMs, AI-assisted prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), and generative workflows as a normal part of how you work - not occasionally, but daily.
  • Experience designing AI-powered features - conversational interfaces, recommendation systems, agentic workflows, or generative AI applications with a nuanced understanding of how to design for trust, transparency, and appropriate user control.
  • Strong discernment: you can evaluate AI-generated output critically, identify what's wrong or missing, and know when to accept, redirect, or discard a direction. You are the editorial layer that makes AI useful.
  • You have expert design instincts and best-practice knowledge to translate user problems, business objectives, and technical constraints into excellent product experiences and you can do it quickly without sacrificing quality.
  • You're a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can work across multiple projects simultaneously, and brings genuine ownership to your work.
  • You have experience creating and maintaining components across multiple product surfaces in Figma, and generative AI design tools.
  • You are a voracious learner - continuously learning how to improve customer experience, drive core metrics, and get the most out of modern design tools and AI capabilities.
  • You're experimentation-oriented: able to conduct user interviews, form hypotheses, test with prototypes or live experiments, and iterate on what you learn.
  • You have a passion for typography and copywriting, and know how to write simple, compelling microcopy that supports your UI design.

Nice to have

  • Experience designing for browser extensions, mobile apps, or similarly constrained, high-frequency surfaces is a plus, though not required for this role.
