Senior Product Designer AI Research Tools (Remote)

About Elicit Elicit is an AI research assistant that uses language models to help professional researchers and high-stakes decision makers break down hard questions, gather evidence from scientific/academic sources, and reason through uncertainty. What we're aiming for: Elicit radically increases the amount of good reasoning in the world. For experts, Elicit pushes the frontier forward. For non-experts, Elicit makes good reasoning more accessible. People who don't have the tools, expertise, time, or mental energy to make carefully-reasoned decisions on their own can do so with Elicit. Elicit is a scalable ML system based on human-understandable task decompositions, with supervision of process, not outcomes. This expands our collective understanding of safe AGI architectures.

About the role Elicit is a small team building research tools used by scientists making high-stakes decisions. We care deeply about the quality of what we ship both in how it works and how it feels. We're looking for a designer who moves fluidly between Figma and code without friction. You might sketch something in Figma in the morning and open a PR in the afternoon. Both feel natural to you. What you'll do You'll work directly with PMs and engineers to shape and refine what ships as a true collaborator. You'll own design problems end to end—from figuring out what to build to getting it shipped. That means Figma when it's the right tool, and code when it's better. You'll sit close to engineering, review implementations, and push back when something doesn't feel right or fix it yourself when you can. You'll help shapes what "good" means at Elicit—contributing to our design system, participating in critique, and raising the floor on everything we ship. This is a small team. Your taste will show in what we ship and you'll be one of the people who shapes what "good" means here by contributing to our design system, participating in critique, and raising the floor on everything we ship.
