Responsibilities

Architect the Conversational Operating System: You will design the 0-to-1 interaction models for our Intelligence Engine (Product.ai). You must solve the 'Trust Problem': How does a human interface with an AI that doesn't just chat, but actively adjudicates product quality?

Define the 'Glass Box' Interface: We reject 'Black Box' AI. You will design visual systems that expose the Reasoning Trace of the AI. You will turn complex logic trails into intuitive, verifiable user experiences that build trust without overwhelming the user

Systematize the Design Physics: You will move beyond ad-hoc screens to build a Unified Design System that governs both human and AI execution. You will define the constraints (physics) that allow our interfaces to scale across Web, Mobile, and Agentic surfaces

Execute High-Fidelity Prototypes: We do not trade in static mocks. You will build high-fidelity, interactive prototypes to validate complex state management and conversational flows before engineering writes a single line of code
