Description


We're looking for a design leader who is both a product thinker and a people builder — someone who can set a compelling vision, shape high-craft work, and create the conditions for a team to thrive. AI is changing what developer tools can do, and we want a leader who is actively engaged with that shift, bringing clarity and direction on how to leverage capabilities that are rapidly taking shape. This role requires range. You'll carry your own design work while guiding projects across multiple domain areas, give substantive expert feedback while knowing when to draw on others' expertise, and build deep trust with your team while navigating the organizational complexity of shipping at scale. We're looking for someone who can communicate and influence across disciplines and levels — who understands what motivates different people and knows how to make design's perspective land.

Experienced in a highly technical domain. Actively engaged with AI dev tools and excited by what they make possible. Drives product vision that unites technical requirements with user focus. Ability to build strong partnerships, influence across organizations, and lead a team to deliver high quality outcomes. Portfolio demonstrating product design leadership, creative problem solving, and high quality visual design.

Preferred Qualifications


5+ years of industry experience as a UX designer, Human Computer Interaction designer, or related role. 2+ years of design management experience.
