Role
Who you are
- A history designing AI-native product experiences where intelligence is foundational, not additive, and delivered material impact to users or the business
- In particular, experience establishing patterns or frameworks that support product teams in creating cohesive and connected intelligence platforms
- A strong perspective and opinion on the future of AI
- Significant experience leading design for complex initiatives, end-to-end
- Typically where design is a strategic partner to Product and Engineering, operating in in ambiguous environments with high visibility and direct engagement with senior leadership
- Technical fluency, understanding the opportunities and limitations of AI and automation alike
- Demonstrable use of AI tooling within your own workflow, such as for synthesis, prototyping, or engineering enablement
- AI maximalists - We’re all-in on AI. As a lean team, It’s central to our pace, our craft, and our workflow. Every day we’re experimenting, inventing, and building our technical acumen. If that excites you, you’ll fit right in
What the job involves
- Design, and Design Engineering, with experience from organisations like Miro, InVision, V7, Lakera, and QuantumBlack
- Over the past year, we’ve reimagined both the platform and the hx brand through our new design language, Xpression, giving hx a distinct edge in an increasingly competitive market
- We’re a tight-knit, highly creative group who believe in showing rather than telling, staying curious, and pushing for deep craft excellence
- We value systems thinkers, creative flare, generalists and specialists, and the kind of genuine collaboration and trusted relationships needed for radical candour
- At hx, design leads from the front and not the sidelines
- We are proud of our work so far and understand the responsibility to help our organisation see what comes next
- As we grow, we’re intentional about bringing in designers with unique skill sets and perspectives - people who can elevate the team and expand what we’re capable of
- This Staff Designer role is a critical hire for the team
- You will help us think holistically about how intelligence is woven into the entire AI platform, working across teams to shape new paradigms, capabilities, and patterns that elevate the overall platform experience
- Your work will expand the team’s ability to deliver AI-native design at scale while strengthening our shared frameworks, collaboration models, and long-term direction
- Leading the design of AI-native experiences across the hx platform and shaping agentic workflows that take our intelligence offering from 0 to 1
- Partnering with product, engineering, and the AI team to shape the vision and plan for an AI-native platform where agentic capabilities meaningfully improve efficiency, clarity, and decision quality
- Developing scalable patterns through our design language, Xpression, to support cross-functional partners to ship familiar and connected intelligence capabilities to our platform
- Supporting the team in scaling craft excellence to meet the pace and breadth of our product development ambitions
- Driving AI-adoption within the Design team’s own workflows. Experimenting with and leveraging advanced AI tooling in your own workflow, from synthesising research insights with Claude Code to creating functional prototypes using tools like FigmaMake, Lovable, and React-based prototypes
- Working closely with the Head of Design to uplift the design team through coaching, codifying best practices, and helping shape a design organisation capable of operating at the frontier of AI-native product development
- Everyone here shares the responsibility of navigating ambiguity. As Designers, we operate with a high degree of autonomy and are expected to lead others through shifting problem spaces with clarity and conviction
- As a creative force, you’ll work directly with our exec team, regardless of your level. As a scale-up, everyone has a voice in shaping what comes next
- In Design, we welcome collaboration from across the business and treat it as a core part of how we operate
- We separate our identity from our ideas. It’s the only way to build the trust required for real conversations and for producing our best work
- Feedback flows freely here because we’re optimising for the success of the collective, not the ego of the individual
Application process
- Introductory Meeting with Talent team (40 minutes)
- Manager Interview with Head of Design (60 minutes)

- Meetings with Senior Director AI and with CEO (30 minutes each)

Salary benchmarks
Our take
hyperexponential was created to provide modelling software to help people and businesses build, deploy and manage analytical models that work with small, sparse and fragmented datasets. Its goal is to make teams more agile, collaborate more deeply, and work more productively.
hyperexponential's pricing and data-driven decision-making software is built for the speciality and commercial insurance markets. The product has broad applications, but the company's initial focus is on speciality insurance, a sector the founders know well, having worked there for more than a decade.
The company's making a name for itself too, working with some of Europe's biggest insurers to transform how pricing decisions are made. And its newest launch, hx AI, blends powerful AI with its core platform to help insurers build smarter models, faster. It's a strong signal that hyperexponential is not just growing, but ready to lead the way.
