Senior UX Designer

Overview

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.

Key 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

Preferred Qualifications

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
