Job Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in product design, design/UX/front-end engineering, design systems, or a related discipline.
  • A bachelor’s degree or higher. A degree in design, computer science, information sciences, psychology, or human-computer interaction is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with modern front-end technologies (e.g., HTML/CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React) and evolving design systems.
  • Experience building AI and agentic experiences, and you are already leveraging AI to speed up and augment your end-to-end design and development process.
  • Expertise with modern AI technologies and ability to apply them to design problems (e.g., MCP, Claude Code, Codex, Skills).
  • Experience shipping production-ready experiences and influencing technical and design choices across teams.
  • Strong understanding of user-centered design principles, end-to-end customer workflows, and the ability to turn new users into habitual users.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
