• Experience designing across interconnected products, complex workflows, or end-to-end user journeys while considering the wider product ecosystem.
• Hands-on experience contributing to and evolving design systems.
• Strong prototyping and interaction design skills, with the ability to use prototypes to explore, test, and communicate ideas.
• Proficiency in modern design tools such as Figma.
• Familiarity with AI-enhanced design workflows and an understanding of emerging human-AI interaction patterns, including trust, transparency, uncertainty, and user control.
• Ability to communicate and influence design decisions clearly across a range of stakeholders.
• Strong collaboration with Product Management and Engineering, balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
• Understanding of modern product development approaches such as Agile, Lean UX, continuous discovery, and iterative delivery, with experience facilitating collaborative design activities.

Desirable criteria

• Experience designing across Web, iOS, and Android in a complex SaaS environment.
• Experience designing products for education, accessibility, assistive technology, or other complex user needs.
• Experience designing or shipping AI-enabled product experiences.
• Experience using AI-assisted prototyping or design-to-development workflows.
• Experience working with product analytics and experimentation to evaluate product outcomes.
• Familiarity with designing for enterprise, education, or multi-user environments with complex permissions, roles, or workflows.
