Full description
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Linguistics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 6 years of experience in conversation design, content design, with equivalent experience designing for conversational AI/LLMs.
- Include a portfolio, website, or any other relevant link to your work in your resume (providing a viewable link or access instructions).
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience in interaction design, particularly managing mixed tactile/voice entry points and mid-conversation modality switching.
- Experience in guiding cross-functional teams through ideation, validation, and iteration processes, transforming abstract ideas into shippable, user-centered model behavior.
- Experience in vibe-coding and developing AI-powered prototypes.
- Familiarity with behavioral data and strong capability to utilize user signals and life-cycle data to create data-driven designs, while being equally capable of moving forward in the absence of data.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to articulate positions, and challenge cross-functional partners with rigorous model UX principles.
