Contribute to JTBD analysis, opportunity mapping, and product roadmap decisions

Required Skills

Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, or equivalent required. Master’s or PhD preferred or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience
10+ years of UX, Interaction Design, or HCI experience, with at least 3 years focused on emerging or AI-powered product experiences

Fluency with generative UI principles Hands-on knowledge of design system tokenization Understanding of LLM / AI model behavior ane agentic system design patterns — orchestration layers, delegation models, agent handoff, and user control/override mechanisms
Experience designing multimodal interactions — voice, gesture, visual, or ambient input/output across device types

UX Craft

Strong command of OS-level or system UX design — navigation models, information architecture, cross-surface continuity
Experience working within or alongside a scaled design system, including contributing patterns, interaction specs, or component logic
Ability to create compelling concept visions — from rough scenario sketches to polished, leadership-ready artifacts

Soft Skills

Systems thinker who can hold both the 10,000-ft strategic vision and the 1-ft craft detail simultaneously
Strong communicator who can distill complex AI concepts into clear, compelling narratives for executive and cross-functional audiences
Intellectually curious with a genuine interest in how AI will reshape human behavior, not just interface patterns
