About the role

- You'll take raw interaction ideas, half-formed concepts, and functional wireframes and turn them into interfaces that feel inevitable, futuristic, and obsessively polished.
- This role is about execution at the highest level: pixels, motion, transitions, hierarchy, and interaction details that make complex AI systems feel simple, powerful, and delightful.
Responsibilities
- You'll design and prototype constantly, push the team toward higher taste and sharper decisions, and set the bar for what "great" looks like in AI-native software.
- Own visual and interaction quality across Highlight's product
- Regularly talk to users, find creative solutions to their problems, and incorporate them into your designs
- Partner closely with the Head of Design to translate interaction concepts, product direction, and rough wireframes into confident, opinionated, high-fidelity UI
