Requirements

At least 5 years of professional UI/UX, product design, or interaction design experience, ideally designing complex SaaS or enterprise software.
A strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design, complex workflows, interaction design, and thoughtful problem solving.
Knowledge of usability, UX/UI, interaction design, information architecture, accessibility, and human factors principles.
Ability to analyze complex requirements and turn them into simple, elegant solutions.
Experience conducting or participating in user research and usability testing.
Proficiency with Figma, prototyping tools, and modern design-system practices.

Responsibilities

Design intuitive user experiences for AI-powered capabilities across web, desktop, mobile, and administrative interfaces.
Explore interaction models for generative AI, including conversational interfaces, copilots, AI assistants, intelligent recommendations, content generation, summarization, and AI-driven workflow automation.
Design experiences for agentic AI capabilities where AI systems can reason, recommend actions, execute tasks, and coordinate multi-step workflows on behalf of users.
