AI Product Designer

AI Product Designer (Contract)

As a Contract AI Product Designer, you will drive end-to-end UX concept development across the studio's most forward-looking initiatives. Working closely with studio conversational (Content) designers, creative technologists, and researchers, you'll shape the future of the product ecosystem.

You're a systems thinker and hands-on inventor who moves fluidly between near-term design craft and long-horizon strategy. You'll report to the Sr. Design Director and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team that includes Creative Technologists, Researchers, and AI.

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

Skills

• 10+ years of UX, Interaction Design, or HCI experience, with at least 3 years focused on emerging or AI-powered product experiences
• Knowledge of current AI product design tools — including generative UI prototyping, AI-assisted design workflows, or prompt-driven concept exploration
• 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
• 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
• Design for AI and Emerging Systems
• Demonstrated experience designing for agentic or AI-native interfaces — including proactive systems, multi-step task flows, or autonomous agent UX
• 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
• Ability to prototype or storyboard intent-based navigation models

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

Compensation: $90 - $112.83 per hour
