About the role

Staff Product Designer to shape a new AI-native product for autonomous recruiting, focusing on consumer-grade experience within complex B2B workflows, enabling fluid interaction between conversational AI, agentic automation, and traditional tools.

Responsibilities

  • Partner closely with product, engineering, and data teams to define problems, set goals, and shape product strategy for a new, high-visibility product area.
  • Own design end-to-end, from early concept through post-launch iteration: user flows, interaction prototypes, high-fidelity mocks, and collaboration through build.
  • Tackle complex and ambiguous human-centered design problems, translating them into clear, simple, consumer-grade solutions.
  • Design core interaction patterns for working with AI and agents—particularly around chat, composer, and the movement between conversational and structured parts of the product.
  • Rapidly iterate through wireframes and prototypes to gather feedback early and often.
  • Obsess over craft, with a strong point of view on visual and interaction design.
  • Collaborate closely with designers working on adjacent parts of the broader employer experience to ensure a coherent, unified product.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of product design experience, ideally on enterprise or B2B products involving complex workflows.
  • Strong communicator who clearly articulates design decisions, tradeoffs, and the thinking behind them to partners and leadership.
  • Deep visual and interaction design expertise, with a proven track record of shipped work and measurable impact.
  • Comfortable incorporating generative AI tools into the design process to accelerate ideation, prototyping, and iteration, while maintaining a high bar for product thinking, craft, and user experience.
  • Highly collaborative. You value diverse perspectives and incorporate them into the design process to achieve better outcomes.
  • Design-led thinker who raises the bar by embedding design thinking into day-to-day work and helping others grow.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change; excited to build something from scratch rather than optimize an existing system.
  • Gritty and hands-on. You're willing to roll up your sleeves and take ownership—nothing is "someone else's problem."
  • Curious and always learning, with a growth mindset.
