Description

Job DescriptionWhat you’ll be owning: The team and the direction. Lead the research and design team towards a clear picture of what we are building: an AI-native product and an agentic commerce experience that buyers and sellers will actually use. You set the bar by doing the work alongside them.The end-to-end experience. Designers here own the whole journey, not individual screens or isolated moments. You own how it holds together, where it earns trust, and how it performs, while the moments inside it are increasingly generated. Agentic experience design. How agents behave, when they surface, and how transparency, control and fallback get designed in. Buyers and sellers will increasingly transact through conversational and headless interactions, with no screen in between. An AI-native design system. A machine-readable, token-driven system that AI tooling consumes to generate consistent, high-fidelity design. Built to be picked up automatically, not maintained by hand. The research agenda. Where the industry is heading on agentic commerce and the future of B2B commerce, how buyer and seller behavior is shifting, and what trust and privacy have to look like when an agent transacts on someone's behalf. The team is already working on these questions. You own where they go next. The craft bar. A high standard for fidelity and quality, and the methods that let a small team hold it at speed.
