Senior Product Designer for AI-Driven Systems

Our company description

Mission is a platform for hiring, vetting and managing software development talents. It enables our clients to connect with the world’s best talent to build mission-critical software products.

About the client

Technology company with a strong focus on artificial intelligence, developing foundational systems that support advanced enterprise intelligence solutions. Their work involves building and operating production-grade platforms using large language models, agent-driven workflows, and scalable distributed systems engineered for reliability and performance at scale.

Their engineering culture values solid technical fundamentals, accountability, and high execution standards. Teams leverage modern development tools and AI-assisted workflows to move efficiently, while maintaining discipline through thoughtful design processes and rigorous code quality practices.

About the role

Our client is seeking a Senior Product Designer to define how humans interact with complex, AI-driven systems in high-stakes financial and audit environments. This role focuses on translating autonomous system behavior, dense requirements, and probabilistic AI outputs into clear, structured, and trustworthy user experiences.

You will own the design, end-to-end. From early concept and system modeling through interaction design and production-ready interfaces. While strong visual execution is important, this role prioritizes systems thinking, information architecture, and clarity under complexity.

This is a hands-on senior IC role with meaningful ownership over product structure and interaction design.

What You’ll Work On

• Translate complex audit requirements and evolving AI capabilities into clear, logical user flows
• Design interaction models that help users understand and trust agent-driven systems
• Define and evolve the core product architecture, including navigation, object relationships, and large-dataset workflows
• Build and maintain a scalable design system and component library in Figma
• Prototype workflows and interactions to validate ideas before engineering implementation
• Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate ideation and prototyping
• Partner closely with product and engineering to shape product direction and trade-offs
• Ensure interfaces are precise, accessible, and suitable for high-stakes decision-making environments

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional product design experience
• Proven ownership of end-to-end design for complex products
• Experience designing B2B, SaaS, or enterprise software
• Strong systems thinker who can reason about entire product architectures
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous problem spaces and creating structure
• Hands-on designer who can move from concept to detailed execution
• Experience working across both startup environments and larger organizations

Core Qualifications

• Deep expertise in Figma, including:

Structured files and scalable component libraries

Auto-layout and reusable design patterns

• Strong information architecture and interaction design fundamentals
• AI & Prototyping Fluency (Must-Have):

Comfortable using modern AI tools such as Cursor, Claude, v0, or Replit

Able to rapidly prototype interactions, flows, or lightweight code to convey behavior

Uses AI to accelerate iteration, not replace design judgment

• High standard for visual craft, including typography, spacing, and hierarchy
• Clear communicator who can articulate design rationale and align stakeholders

Preferred Experience

• Experience designing data-heavy or analytical interfaces (dashboards, tables, audit or fintech tools)
• Interest in LLM-enabled products and agent-driven workflows, including how probabilistic systems behave in real-world use
• Basic frontend knowledge (HTML, CSS, React) to collaborate effectively with engineers

Work Environment & Expectations

• Onsite role in a high-intensity engineering environment
• Strong emphasis on ownership, accountability, and production reliability
• Opportunity to work on foundational AI systems with significant technical depth
• Competitive compensation, healthcare package, equity participation, and relocation / visa support
• This is an onsite role based out of Palo Alto, California
