Bjak is hiring: Creative Technologist, HCI in New York

Bjak · New York, NY, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Company
A1 is building a proactive AI smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows.

Our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion. The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior.

Role
You will explore and build experimental AI experiences that help define how people interact with proactive AI systems. This role sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and AI experimentation.

This is not a research-only role. You will build prototypes, test ideas, and help the team decide which interaction models should become part of the product.

What You'll Be Doing

Prototype experimental AI interfaces beyond standard chat UI.

Build quick proof-of-concept experiences using AI models, APIs, and frontend tools.

Explore new ways for users to understand, direct, and collaborate with AI systems.

Test interaction ideas around human control, trust, transparency, memory, multimodal input, and long-running workflows.

Work with product, design, and ML teams to turn early ideas into testable prototypes quickly.

Identify useful HCI patterns from research, products, and emerging tools, then test whether they work for A1.

Document experiments clearly - what was tested, what worked, what failed, and what should be built next.

Contribute to the team's understanding of what HCI should look and feel like in a real consumer app.

What You Will Need

Experience prototyping at the intersection of design and technology - creative technology, design engineering, prototyping, or R&D roles.

Ability to build functional prototypes using web technologies, APIs, or AI tools.

Curiosity about how AI systems work and how users build mental models of AI behavior.

Comfort moving between design thinking and hands-on building.

Awareness of HCI principles, emerging UI patterns, and the limitations of current AI systems.

Strong communication skills - able to explain experimental ideas and prototype findings clearly.

High comfort with ambiguity and early-stage product exploration.

Good judgment on which experiments are interesting versus which ones are actually useful for users.

Nuestro producto se centra en lograr una alta confiabilidad para flujo de trabajo de larga duración, contexto persistente y finalización de tareas del mundo real. El sistema debe manejar el razonamiento multidimensional, interactuar con herramientas externas e mantenerse confiable pese al comportamiento no determinista del modelo. Construirás prototipos, probarás ideas y ayudarás al equipo a decidir qué modelos de interacción deberían formar parte del producto. Lo que harás con los equipos de diseño e inteligencia artificial para convertir rápidamente las primeras ideas en prototipos testables más allá de la interfaz de chat estándar. Construye experiencias rápidas de prueba de concepto utilizando modelos de IA, APIs y herramientas frontend. Explora nuevas formas para que los usuarios comprendan, dirijan y colaboren con sistemas de AI. Prueba ideas de interacciones alrededor del control humano, confianza, transparencia, memoria, entrada multimodal y flujos de trabajo de larga duración. Trabaja con equipos de producto, diseño y ML para convertir tempranas ideas en prototypes verificables rápidamente. Identifique patrones útiles de HCI de investigación, productos y Herramientas emergentes, luego evalúe si funcionan para experimentos A1.
