Senior Product Designer

Senior Product Designer — Palo Alto, CA (On-site)

About the Role
You will own how our product looks, feels, and works: the characters people meet on the screen, the interactions they have with them, and the way we introduce our product to the world. We are looking for a Senior Product Designer with exceptional visual craft and the range to work across product experiences, brand and campaign work, motion, 3D, and interactive prototypes.

This is a hands-on role on a small team. You will take projects from early concepts to finished assets, polished interfaces, and working web prototypes, and partner with engineering to bring them into production. You bring a clear creative point of view and take ownership from concept through delivery.

Every deployment is judged in the first few seconds by what a person sees on the screen. The character, the interface, and the content are the part of the stack the public actually meets. You will define that layer, with a direct line to the CEO and the room to set the visual standard for how people experience AI in the physical world.

What You'll Do
• Design the human–AI interface. Design the user flows, interfaces, and interactions for Gateway and Portal — touch, voice, and content on a life-size screen, used by people walking up on a noisy store floor or in a hotel lobby, not sitting at a desk.
• Shape our characters. Work on the look and presence of our 4K digital twins and branded characters — a customer's mascot, house expert, or licensed talent — and how they move, gesture, and present products.
• Bring products to life in 3D. Build product renders, scenes, and animations for 3D product display on our screens, and for launches, advertising, and product pages.
• Create motion and video. Produce motion graphics and edit product films, demos, and event videos from raw footage to final delivery.
• Lead visual design for campaigns and launches. Create key visuals, posters, trade show graphics, social assets, and on-screen content for our displays.
• Build working prototypes. Translate interactive concepts into web demos using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then partner with engineering to develop them into product.
• Develop AI-assisted creative workflows. Combine generative image and video tools with professional design and 3D production tools to deliver high-quality work fast.
• Contribute original ideas. Propose campaign concepts, product features, and new ways for people to interact with AI in the physical world.
• Maintain a consistent brand. Carry one cohesive visual identity across on-screen, print, digital, video, and 3D.

Job Requirements
• 5–8 years of professional product design experience, with visual design as a core strength and a track record of shipped UX/UI work.
• Early-stage startup experience (seed to Series B, under ~50 people): you have owned design end to end with no design team behind you.
• A strong portfolio of published advertising work, including campaigns, posters, and key visuals.
• Proficiency with generative image and video tools, and sound judgment about when to use them.
• Advanced skills in professional design, motion graphics, and video editing tools.
• Solid 3D skills across modeling, lighting, materials, rendering, and animation.
• Hands-on experience in motion design, video graphics, and editing.
• The ability to independently build small web projects and hand them off to engineers. Experience with modern front-end frameworks or real-time 3D on the web is a plus.
• Hands-on use of AI coding tools for design and prototyping is required. Design taste, visual craft, and product judgment remain our most important hiring criteria.
• Initiative, creative ownership, and a clear point of view on product and design.
• The ability to work on-site in Palo Alto, with current residence in or willingness to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Strongly preferred:
Digital human or virtual avatar experience is strongly preferred. We will prioritize candidates with hands-on work in character design, real-time avatars, lip-sync, or performance capture.

Other valuable experience includes:
• Game art, game UI, or real-time 3D engine work.
• UX/UI design for touchscreens, voice interfaces, or large-format displays.
• End-to-end ownership in a startup or small team.

Compensation: $150,000 - $260,000 per year (base salary), plus equity.
