Responsibilities
Design agentic workflows for real admin work
Own the Admin AI experience across core surfaces like note-taking, meetings, inbox, and tasks
Design how Hazel captures context, summarizes information, follows up, asks clarifying questions, and takes action on a user’s behalf—while staying predictable, transparent, and trustworthy
Invent new interaction patterns for AI-assisted work where traditional UI doesn’t fit, blending automation, suggestions, and human control to reduce cognitive load without hiding important context
Define how the agent communicates and collaborates
Design patterns for how Hazel signals progress, uncertainty, permissions, and handoffs across multi-step and asynchronous workflows
Shape how Hazel explains what it’s doing, why it’s doing it, and what it needs from the user in a way that feels intuitive and trustworthy
Prototype and ship in code
Build functional prototypes using real front-end code—not just static mockups
Work closely with engineers to refine interaction details and ship features into production, owning features from concept through launch
Iterate quickly as Hazel evolves
Design, test, and refine experiences in tight feedback loops as Hazel’s capabilities expand with model improvements
Work on critical-path features, adapting designs as the underlying agent becomes more capable and the product surface area grows
When you see an issue with the UI or UX, you’ll have the autonomy to fix it yourself in code and ship
Work fluidly across disciplines and raise the craft bar
Pair with product marketing, brand, and engineers on implementation, explore new model behaviors with research, and pressure-test ideas directly with users and design partners
Contribute to and help evolve Ethos, our design system, ensuring pixel-perfect implementation and consistent interaction patterns across Hazel and the broader platform
Obsess over the details that make admin tools feel calm, fast, and reliable: clear hierarchy, thoughtful defaults, crisp feedback loops, and minimal friction in day-to-day use
Qualification
Required
10+ years of experience in product design, with a focus on complex, multi-step workflows and end-to-end ownership from discovery through launch
Strong interaction design fundamentals and a track record of shipping real products—not just concepts or prototypes
Ability to prototype and build in code (e.g., HTML/CSS/JavaScript/TypeScript, React, or similar), and comfort working directly in front-end codebases
A systems-level mindset for how features connect across notes, meetings, inbox, and tasks, and how those pieces should feel cohesive in one admin agent experience
High craft bar and strong taste in interaction, UX writing, and visual hierarchy, with the portfolio to back it up
Comfort designing in ambiguous problem spaces with evolving constraints and rapidly changing AI capabilities
Clear communication and strong, low-ego collaboration with Product, Engineering, and Research
Provide a portfolio with clear, high-quality examples of shipped product work (not just mockups)
Include any passwords required to access your portfolio; password-protected portfolios without credentials cannot be reviewed
Have at least 7 years experience; candidates with less than 7 years of relevant professional experience will not be considered for this role
Preferred
Experience designing or building AI-powered or agentic products, especially those that automate or assist with complex knowledge work
Background in productivity tools, admin workflows, or advisor/knowledge work software
Familiarity with design systems and front-end component libraries, ideally in React or similar ecosystems
