Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to shape the user experience, interface, interactions, and visual design of new and existing features. Act as a key design partner in defining product strategy throughout the end-to-end development process.
  • Craft user journeys, flows, prototypes, and designs-sometimes starting from scratch, other times by refining early engineering prototypes or providing design enhancements and guidance as products evolve.
  • Proactively identify design opportunities and drive continuous improvement based on business objectives, user requirements, and customer requests.
  • Engage with the open source AI community and enterprise AI researchers and builders to understand real-world needs, workflows, and challenges-bringing those insights directly into the product design process.
  • Discover creative ways to eliminate friction and reduce papercuts through design, making it easier for users to onboard and utilize our platform from day one.
  • Advocate for scalable, user-centered design systems and processes that improve design velocity, consistency, and impact across the product.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end product thinking across UX, interaction, and visual design
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to shape the user experience, interface, interactions, and visual design of new and existing features.
