You'll alternate between deep exploratory work and shipping features that will fundamentally change how people interact with technology. You will tackle challenges like designing AI-powered memory systems and creating interfaces that understand and respond to people's needs. Success in this role requires both creative vision and the technical ability to build and validate ideas using real AI technology. You'll have the space to explore challenging problems while maintaining a clear focus on shipping products that work. Our goal is to create technology that feels obvious once you experience it. We're looking for designers who can envision a world where computing enhances our human capabilities rather than demanding our attention.
