Senior Product Designer, AI

GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, and they are seeking a Senior Product Designer to shape the future of AI-powered developer tools. In this role, you will own the design process from exploration to execution, creating intuitive interfaces and establishing design patterns for AI capabilities.

Responsibilities:

• Own the design process – Drive end-to-end design across GitLab's AI suite, from early exploration to polished execution
• Create flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that reflect strong craft and clear thinking
• Know when AI is the right solution versus a traditional approach
• Ship and iterate – Break complex AI experiences into releases that fit GitLab's cadence without sacrificing quality
• Define success criteria upfront, use evidence to drive decisions, and work closely with PM, Engineering, and Technical Writing to get things over the line
• Set the craft bar – Set quality standards through strong visual and interaction design, and provide constructive feedback that raises the level of work around you
• Define strategic direction – Bring validated user evidence and a strong point of view to roadmap discussions before direction is set
• Use journey maps, storyboards, and design explorations to connect day-to-day work to a longer-term vision
• Enable the broader team – Help designers across the product understand and apply AI capabilities effectively in their own areas
• Contribute AI-specific patterns to Pajamas Design System that others can build on, and share knowledge that raises the design quality of AI experiences across GitLab
• Mentor and grow – Guide other designers in developing their skills, participate in hiring by interviewing candidates and evaluating portfolios, and share what you know generously

Requirements:

• A strong portfolio showing how you think and iterate, not just what shipped, ideally including AI/ML products, agentic workflows, or natural language interfaces where user control, transparency, and trust were key considerations
• Experience designing for AI workflows. You understand the unique challenges of multi-step, agentic, or automated processes and how to design for them effectively
• A high bar for craft. You care deeply about the details of interaction and visual design, and help others raise their standards too
• Experience conducting research and translating findings into clear, well-reasoned design decisions
• Proven ability to work iteratively in agile product development, balancing speed with quality and making smart tradeoffs without losing sight of the longer-term vision
• Experience designing in complex enterprise contexts, with working knowledge of Git, HTML/CSS, accessibility best practices, and design systems
• Excellent communication skills. You can simplify complexity, articulate design rationale clearly, and bring people along through your process
