Design AI-powered interactions that help users work more efficiently while maintaining transparency, control, and alignment with their intentions.
Collaborate closely with engineers, product stakeholders, and the founding team to ensure high-quality implementation and consistent execution.

Contribute to a collaborative design practice spanning both product and brand, helping strengthen the overall visual and creative direction as the organization grows.
At least 6 years of experience designing software products in a product-focused environment, with shipped projects that demonstrate your approach, decision-making, and impact.
A strong portfolio showcasing exceptional product design, visual communication, interaction design, and the ability to turn complex problems into clear, intuitive user experiences.
