Role
You'll be the IC design lead for how humans and fleets of agents work together on Omnigent - leading through product strategy, systems thinking, craft, and cross-functional collaboration. You're equally comfortable shipping small design changes directly in the codebase and prototyping your way through big, ambiguous problems that don't have a spec yet.
You'll own the design direction across desktop and mobile, partner deeply with engineering and product, and translate the frontier of what agents can do into experiences that feel clear, controllable, trustworthy, and surprisingly effortless.
What you'll do
Own the desktop and mobile experience for live agent sessions end to end - from strategy and interaction models to visual polish and shipped detail. Shape the high-density orchestration workflows on desktop and the lightweight monitoring, review, approval, and intervention moments on mobile.
Design directly in the codebase for well-scoped changes, working alongside engineers to ship real improvements rather than handing off static mocks.
Use prototypes as a primary thinking tool. For large, vague problems, build interactive prototypes to explore, de-risk, and align the team on a direction.
Invent the interaction language for agentic work: real-time multi-agent sessions, watch/co-drive/fork flows, human-in-the-loop approvals, agent status and transparency, error and recovery states, and trust.
Define durable UX principles and interaction frameworks for agent collaboration, approvals, observability, and recovery that other teams reuse across Omnigent surfaces.
Drive cross-platform consistency with a strong, scalable design system spanning desktop and mobile.
Ground decisions in evidence - use research instincts and real usage to pressure-test ideas and know what to build next.
What we're looking for
A builder-designer who works fluently with AI tools. You can make small design changes directly in a codebase, and you use prototypes - and the agents themselves - to explore larger, ambiguous problems. You regularly use AI tools in your own design and build workflow.
A portfolio of strong end-to-end craft - interaction design, visual/UI polish, and design-systems thinking - ideally on developer tools, AI/ML products, enterprise software, or other products for technical users.
Staff-level scope and impact. A track record of shipping complex, high-quality developer products and leading design direction on hard problems.
Self-directed, and comfortable in ambiguity - you help shape product direction when the path isn't defined.
A strong collaborator who raises the level of high-quality critique, clear decision-making, and tight partnership with engineering and product.
Nice to have
Experience designing coding tools, IDEs, agent frameworks, or developer platforms.
Familiarity with multi-agent systems, LLM harnesses, or governance/observability tooling.
