Senior UX Designer

About the role

We are seeking a Senior UX Designer to join a small, fast‑moving team building production‑grade internal tools powered by AI. This is a ground‑floor opportunity to define the user experience across multiple product surfaces-including dashboards, workflow automation tools, CRM systems, and AI‑powered reporting interfaces. As the sole designer embedded within a team of senior engineers, you will own the end‑to‑end design process, establish a lightweight design system, and ensure a consistent, intuitive, and high‑quality experience across all internal tools. This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in autonomous environments, enjoys simplifying complex workflows, and is excited to shape the UX of AI‑native systems.

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end design across 4-6 internal product surfaces, from research and interaction design to visual design and shipped UI
• Create and maintain a lightweight design system and shared component library to ensure consistency across tools
• Design interaction patterns for AI‑native workflows, including agent supervision, automated triage, intelligent recommendations, and real‑time reporting
• Collaborate directly with senior engineers in a pod‑based model with rapid iteration and minimal process overhead
• Translate complex, multi‑source data into streamlined, single‑screen experiences that reduce context switching
• Conduct user research and usability testing with internal stakeholders
• Rapidly prototype new concepts and iterate based on feedback
• Ensure high adoption and usability of internal tools across a 100+ person organization
• Performance Expectations
• Success in this role will be measured by:
• Quality, clarity, and consistency of UX across all internal tools
• Speed of iteration from concept to testable prototype
• User adoption and satisfaction metrics for launched tools
• Establishment of a reusable design system and component library
• Ability to operate independently with minimal direction
• Team Structure
• You will be the single design resource embedded across multiple engineering pods within a team of seven senior AI builders. The team ships quickly, collaborates closely, and relies on design leadership to ensure usability and coherence across all product surfaces.
• What Makes This Role Unique
• Full creative ownership -no legacy constraints, no design bureaucracy
• High visibility and impact -your work directly shapes how 200+ people perform their daily workflows
• Cutting‑edge AI UX -opportunity to design interaction patterns for agentic systems and AI‑powered tools
• Startup‑speed execution with enterprise‑scale problems
• Portfolio‑defining work in AI‑native UX, internal tools, and complex system design
• Required Qualifications
• 5+ years designing complex internal tools, enterprise SaaS platforms, or developer‑facing systems
• Strong interaction design and information architecture skills, with a portfolio demonstrating simplification of complex workflows
• Proven ability to work independently as the sole designer on an engineering‑heavy team
• Experience designing data‑dense interfaces, dashboards, or multi‑panel layouts

Requirements

• Experience designing for AI/ML‑powered features or agentic systems
• Experience building and maintaining design systems or component libraries
• Front‑end development skills (React, TypeScript) strongly preferred; ability to implement designs is a major advantage
• Candidate Disqualifiers
• Portfolios focused exclusively on consumer mobile apps
• No experience with complex internal tools or data‑heavy interfaces
• Requires extensive onboarding, direction, or design management
• Inability to work autonomously in a fast‑paced environment
• Interview Process
• Round 1: Portfolio review + design challenge walkthrough (60 minutes) Round 2: Team fit and collaboration exercise with engineering partners (45 minutes)
• Location : Remote (Must be located in the United States)
• Role type: Contract 6 Month Position
• Expected hours : 40 per week
