## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
- Own design for important product areas from discovery through shipped product.
- Translate ambiguous customer, mission, and product needs into clear workflows, prototypes, interaction models, and product experiences.
- Partner closely with PMs, engineers, and domain experts to shape product direction and make thoughtful tradeoffs.

- Comfort partnering deeply with PM and engineering.
- Ability to challenge assumptions, explain rationale, and influence direction without relying on authority.

- Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows or complex data-heavy interfaces.
