Product Designer

We are making working with AI as intuitive as instructing a smart coworker.

At Humanloop, we're creating systems for humans and AI to work together.

We want to empower domain experts to create these systems. If AI remains only the remit of data scientists, the world will miss a huge amount of value. So we need to be able to make intelligent systems that are intuitive and simple with the user.

We enable teaching the AI what to do by example (hand labelling data points), by explanation (providing rules and heuristics) and by demonstration. Unlike traditional machine learning, it is done as dialogue with the AI model, focusing on the areas that are most confusing.

As our fouding product designer, you will play a key role in defining and creating these tools for human-AI interaction.

Your primary task will be to understand user needs and product requirements and transform that understanding into intuitive interactions and product.

Skills required

• Excellent communication skills. You will feel comfortable talking to users and engineers. You'll set design principles and direction, as well as design systems and reasoning.
• Rapid prototyping to validate design concepts with stakeholders and customers.
• High fidelity designs and prototypes
• Passion for AI and machine learning. You don't need to be an expert but you should know or learn key concepts that are crucial for this work (what is overfitting, a training set, evaluation metrics etc).
• User focus and high empathy. You understand users and can translate user stories and propose design approaches or services to meet these needs. You put users first and can manage competing priorities.
• A working understanding of code, helping to make practical tradeoffs.

Experience

We think that people with amazing ability can come from all sorts of backgrounds. We care more about past work than any specific qualifications, however we expect you to have experience designing products used by real people and managing a good design process.

What does success look like?

• You hold yourself and the rest of the team to a high bar and design experiences that are not just functional, but delightful to our users
• You'll create components and design systems that scale with us as organisation
• You are a product leader who comes up with great initiatives and product ideas, and not just someone who takes a feature and make it "functional"
• You can and can grow to leading a design team
• You communicate your thoughts and decisions clearly and proactively, and talk to users, knowing that their expectation may differ from your intuition.
