• Lead the design of strategic product features with autonomy to propose, challenge, and define direction • Work side by side with the PO and developers on complex problems, contributing from definition through handoff • Structure and advance the use of AI in the product upstream: assisted prototyping (v0, Lovable, Figma Make, Cursor, Replit), generation of variations for testing, accelerating discovery • Deliver navigable, testable prototypes in short cycles, ready for direct implementation by the tech team • Lead the evolution of our Design System, bringing UX and UI rigor • Act as a development partner to a PO in training, helping unlock strategic and architectural thinking • Provide visibility and narrative on the impact of AI in our product process

• Shape how scientists interact with Pyxis, our application layer for foundation models of biochemical data. • Produce dozens of design explorations through sketching, Figma, and coded prototypes in tools like Claude and v0. • Bring final work to a high bar of polish in typography, hierarchy, and interaction. • Turn recurring patterns into components that compose across the web app, MCP, and agentic surfaces. • Stay close to scientists through user interviews, customer calls, and session replay reviews. • Work with PM, engineers, and scientists to align on user needs and tradeoffs.

• Own our **design system** and UX standards (components, patterns, content guidelines, accessibility) • Use **AI-assisted tooling** (Cursor, Claude Code, Figma Make, V0 or similar) to scale standards (e.g., generate/maintain specs, checklists, component usage guidance, and critique rubrics) so non-designers can apply UX patterns consistently (with designer review on key work) • Define “**how we design here**”: lightweight processes for discovery, critique, handoff, and iteration that work in a remote-first environment • Create reusable patterns for core workflows so new features feel cohesive and scalable • Build deep context on our customers, partners, and internal users through recurring research, shadowing, and synthesis • Identify experience gaps and propose improvements proactively (not just when assigned a ticket) • Coach less experienced PMs on problem framing, requirements quality, and UX partnership best practices • Partner with engineering leads to make standards easy to adopt (components, examples, checklists) • Run a scalable review cadence (design critiques + office hours + lightweight design QA) to keep quality high as the team ships • Push for simpler, more elegant solutions, even when it requires disagreeing with stakeholders • Help teams make smart tradeoffs with a clear user-centered rationale • Execute on high-impact work in Figma (flows, prototypes, high-fidelity UI) where your time creates outsized leverage • You will be paired with one or two squads to support their design needs. These inputs must also be used as inputs for the systems, practices and standards you implement.

• Research and analyze user needs with a customer-focused approach and translate insights into well-founded UX concepts and strategies. • Develop cross-device UX/UI concepts for apps and websites. • Create customer journeys, sitemaps, user flows, wireframes, and low-fidelity prototypes. • Prepare concept presentations and facilitate workshops with clients and internal teams. • Execute complex projects in close collaboration with senior designers and cross-functional teams such as development and product management.
