Product Designer (UX)

📋 Description

• • Own the end-to-end design of A1’s flagship consumer AI application, translating frontier technology into intuitive, human-centered experiences that will be used by millions worldwide.
• • Shape entirely new interaction paradigms for AI-driven products—no legacy constraints, no inherited flows—crafting the very first moments users discover, trust, and rely on an intelligent system.
• • Lead rapid, zero-to-one design sprints: from problem framing and storyboards to wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes, and production-ready UI across web and mobile platforms.
• • Partner daily with product managers, ML engineers, and founders in a tight feedback loop; co-define requirements, test hypotheses, and ship polished features at startup speed.
• • Design and evolve a scalable design system that balances consistency with the flexibility needed for novel AI interactions, ensuring every component is accessible, performant, and delightful.
• • Conduct lightweight usability studies, A/B tests, and qualitative interviews; synthesize insights into clear design iterations that measurably improve user trust, comprehension, and task success.
• • Champion user advocacy while navigating technical constraints—turning complex model outputs, probabilistic behaviors, and data-heavy states into calm, understandable interfaces.
• • Rapidly prototype micro-interactions that communicate AI confidence, explainability, and error recovery, setting the tone for how users perceive and control intelligent agents.
• • Influence product strategy by translating user pain points and behavioral data into visionary design proposals that guide the roadmap for the next 12–18 months.
• • Contribute to a culture of craftsmanship: run design critiques, document best practices, and mentor future hires as the team scales from stealth to global launch.
• • Travel occasionally for user research and team off-sites, ensuring the product resonates across cultures and contexts while staying grounded in real-world needs.
• • Report directly to founders, presenting design decisions, trade-offs, and impact metrics in weekly reviews that shape company-level priorities and resource allocation.
