About the Role

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end product design

• Make hard things easy:
  translate dense rules/edge cases into clear steps, helpful defaults, and low-friction paths.
• Shape human-in-the-loop AI:
  decide when to automate, when to ask for input, and how the system explains itself.
• Design system maturity:
  evolve components, patterns, and guidelines so teams ship quickly and consistently.
• Words matter:
  write labels/microcopy that reduce cognitive load and build trust; document requirements clearly for engineering.
• Learn with users:
  run lean research and usability tests; fold insights into fast iterations.
• Partner with customers & SMEs:
  engage closely with client teams to align solutions with real operational constraints.
• Measure outcomes:
  define success metrics, review usage data, and iterate to improve what you ship.
