You will partner closely with product and engineering in regular working sessions to define problems, explore solutions, and align on scope. You will create designs in Figma and validate ideas through interactive prototypes (including lightweight coded prototypes when needed). You will present work in weekly design reviews, incorporate feedback, and deliver finalized specs for engineering handoff. Key Projects Develop AI‑first news experiences in partnership with the AI core team. Redesign the current product to appeal to a younger audience. Responsibilities Design expressive, visually compelling features for users of our AI news and interest feed. Craft clear, engaging visual stories that communicate ideas effectively to stakeholders.
