Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience in product design, UX/UI design, or a related field, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on complex, data-rich applications or enterprise software
- Expertise in modern design and prototyping tools, especially Figma. You should be comfortable creating everything from low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity, interactive prototypes
- Proven ability to lead the end-to-end design process, from user research and concept exploration to detailed visual design and collaboration with engineers for implementation
- A deep understanding of user-centered design principles and a passion for solving complex user problems in ambiguous, early-stage product environments
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate design rationale and work effectively with cross-functional teams including product managers and engineers
- Experience designing and contributing to scalable design systems
- Experience designing developer-facing products, tools, APIs, or other technical platforms
- A strong interest in and understanding of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language models (LLMs)
Desirable
- Experience working in a fast-paced technology startup environment
- Experience designing AI or MLOps systems
What the job involves
- We're a small and committed technical team that oversees engineering, research, design, product, and operations
- We believe that a small dedicated team with a flat structure and collaborative culture can move faster and build better products than large hierarchical organizations
- As a foundational member of the design team, you will have a huge part in shaping our product direction and design culture
- We are looking for a senior Applied AI Designer to supercharge the design of our cutting-edge AI Workflow Orchestration platform while shaping the future of human expert and AI agent collaboration
- You will be responsible for creating innovative, intuitive, and user-centered experiences that make complex and powerful AI workflows simple and accessible to profiles across the technical spectrum
- You will work closely with our engineering and product teams to translate user needs and technical capabilities into a seamless and powerful product
Our take
Thread AI is transforming enterprise AI integration with its compostable infrastructure platform, Lemma. This platform streamlines the building and management of AI workflows by connecting disparate systems, allowing organizations to automate crucial tasks while accommodating essential constraints like cost and human oversight.
The need for Lemma stems from the complexities enterprises face in adopting AI, as many use over 100 software products, leading to integration challenges and data management issues. Lemma simplifies these challenges by providing a secure and scalable infrastructure that integrates AI models, APIs, and applications, enabling businesses to fully harness AI's potential.
Recently emerging from stealth, Thread AI raised substantial funding which will help it expand its team and enhance its presence in the public sector. This investment highlights the significant market opportunity for enterprise AI infrastructure, positioning Thread AI to meet the growing demand for streamlined AI workflows across various industries.
