Job Description
Role Overview
We’re looking for a Digital Experience Designer who thrives at the intersection of design, technology, and emerging AI tools. This role is not just about crafting interfaces—it’s about concepting new digital experiences and bringing them to life alongside engineers through rapid prototyping and experimentation.
The ideal candidate embraces AI-native design workflows, thinks in systems and behaviors rather than static screens, and collaborates closely with engineers to build interactive prototypes that evolve into real products. Whether mapping a product journey, prototyping new interaction models, or exploring what AI-enabled interfaces can become, you’ll bring a clear perspective on how technology can unlock better experiences for people and brands.
You will help define how modern digital experiences are conceived and built in a world where designers increasingly operate as co-creators with AI and engineering.
What You’ll Do
Concept and Design Next-Gen Digital Experiences
• Translate product ideas and emerging technologies into novel interaction concepts
• Explore how AI, automation, and new interface patterns reshape digital experiences
• Work early in the product lifecycle to define experience direction and interaction models
Design Through Prototypes
• Move beyond static mockups toward interactive prototypes and functional design artifacts
• Rapidly iterate using modern tools (Figma, Framer, AI design tools, prototyping frameworks)
Collaborate Deeply with Engineering
• Partner with engineers to design through code
• Co-create experiences that blend design thinking with technical feasibility
• Use prototyping and experimentation to shorten the design → build loop
Leverage AI in the Design Process
• Integrate emerging AI design tools and workflows into concept development
• Explore AI-enabled interfaces and product capabilities and help the team develop AI-native design practices
Shape the Service / Product Experience
• Translate user needs and business goals into clear experience strategies
• Contribute to product thinking and roadmap discussions and help define how the product evolves as a system, not just a set of screens
What We’re Looking For
Core Design Skills
• Experience creating mockups, flows, and interactive prototypes
• Comfort designing complex interaction patterns and product behaviors
Engineer Collaboration
• Experience working side-by-side with engineers
• Familiarity with design systems, front-end constraints, and technical workflows
• Ability to design solutions that translate cleanly into implementation
AI-Native Mindset
• Curiosity about AI tools shaping design workflows
• Interest in AI-driven user experiences
Modern Design Thinking
• Ability to work in fast, iterative environments
• Strong communication and storytelling around ideas
You Bring
• 7+ years of experience in UX, product, service, or interaction design
• A portfolio demonstrating thoughtful design work and strong problem-solving
• Mastery of tools like Figma, Miro, and modern prototyping platforms
• Strong prototyping skills and the ability to bring ideas to life quickly
• Experience working closely with engineers in product teams
• Hands-on experience with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Runway, ElevenLabs, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or your own custom workflows
• A track record of incorporating AI into the design process (ideation, prototyping, testing, automation, or tooling)
• A solid understanding of interaction design, accessibility, and inclusive design principles
• A desire to contribute to the growth and culture of a progressive, multidisciplinary team
