Sr Product Designer

Virtualitics is hiring a Senior Product Designer to lead end-to-end design across concurrent projects and shape UX for AI-native, agent-driven products. The role establishes interaction patterns and prototypes, extends the design system, reviews product experiences, and aligns with cross-functional teams while mentoring designers.

Responsibilities:

• Own ambiguous, loosely scoped design problems end to end across multiple concurrent projects with minimal direction
• Serve as the primary design point of contact on engagements: shaping UX heavily at kickoff, then transitioning ownership to the project team as the work matures
• Define interaction patterns for agent-driven experiences, including how users interact with agents, how responses are structured, how follow-on actions chain, and how errors surface consistently across deployments
• Leverage and extend our design system and component library, strengthening the patterns that PMs and engineers compose from every day
• Establish design prototypes with Product Managers in Figma, Claude, or code that set the design framework a project team inherits
• Lead UX reviews of features, agent responses, generated UI, and layouts ensuring a high quality output before shipping
• Use workflows, journey maps, and service mapping to ground your rationale and bring cross-functional partners along
• Help shape scope, timelines, and cross-functional alignment with Product Management, Engineering, and Customer Success
• Mentor less experienced designers and raise the standard of critique

Requirements:

• 5-8 years of product design experience with a track record of shipping well-designed products
• Portfolio of three or more case studies or highlighted projects showing complex problem-solving, mid-project adjustments, and cross-functional collaboration
• Figma proficiency, including component-driven architecture, variables, and interactive prototypes
• Track record of taking ownership of ambiguous problems without being handed a spec
• Sophisticated design and interaction craft, with UX, UI, visual, and accessibility fundamentals accounted for at each interaction
• Design system extension and growth
• Application of relevant concepts and best practices to support your rationale, using workflows and mapping to justify design decisions
• Comfort operating independently as the design lead on a project with minimal oversight
• Willingness to reflect on past projects and articulate what you would do differently
• Interaction design for conversational and agent-driven interfaces
• Design system extension, governance, and documentation
• Prototyping in code or with AI tooling to pressure-test ideas quickly
• Journey mapping, and workflow analysis
• Accessibility (WCAG) applied in practice
• Facilitate design critique, and mentoring other Product Designers
• Strong communication skills to align with stakeholders
• Experience designing AI-native, agentic, or conversational products
• Experience with data-dense enterprise or analytics products where the interface has to make complexity legible
• Experience operating as a shared resource across multiple concurrent teams
• Fluency with AI tools such as Claude and Figma Make as part of your everyday design and prototyping practice
• Working knowledge of front-end concepts such as components, tokens, states, and responsive behavior, sufficient to prototype and set technical direction with engineers
• Experience working in defense, government, or critical infrastructure environments
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
