Position Responsibilities
Lead UX concept development for Generative Design System investigations — including adaptive UI surfaces, tokenized design patterns, and machine-readable component architectures for AI composition
Define and prototype Agentic OS interaction models — including intent‑based navigation, multi‑agent task orchestration, and dynamic layout systems that replace traditional app grid paradigms
Translate complex AI system behaviors into clear, human‑centered interaction flows, scenarios, and design frameworks
Develop strategy documents, user flows, wireframes, and high‑fidelity concept visions that communicate direction to both design peers and executive leadership
Contribute to JTBD analysis, opportunity mapping, and product roadmap decisions
Qualifications Education:
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
and
agentic system design patterns

Ability to prototype or storyboard
intent‑based navigation models
UXCraft
10+ years of UX, Interaction Design, or HCI experience, with at least 3 years focused on emerging or AI‑powered product experiences

Proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, auto‑layout, and variable/token workflows
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
Comfortable with ambiguity
— able to frame open design questions, define the right problem, and move forward without complete information
Strong communicator
who can distill complex AI concepts into clear, compelling narratives for executive and cross‑functional audiences
Collaborative and generous
— thrives in small, fast‑moving, multidisciplinary studio environments
Intellectually curious with a genuine interest in how AI will reshape human behavior, not just interface patterns
