Lead Product Designer

Mentor designers in developing AI literacy without requiring ML engineering knowledge

Establish design critique processes that evaluate both traditional usability and AI-specific interaction patterns

Build cross-functional bridges between design, ML engineering, and product to create unified experiences

Deep LLM Knowledge: Understanding of transformer architectures, prompt engineering, RAG systems, and emerging patterns like chain-of-thought reasoning and constitutional AI

AI Product Experience: Shipped products leveraging GPT-4, Claude, or similar models; understanding of their capabilities, limitations, and optimal use cases

Systems Thinking: Ability to design for emergent behaviors, feedback loops, and non-linear user journeys inherent in AI systems

0→1 Track Record: Multiple examples of creating successful products in undefined categories where you had to invent the interaction paradigms

Craft Excellence: Pixel-perfect attention to detail while maintaining velocity; ability to produce high-fidelity prototypes that feel production-ready

Research Integration: Experience conducting foundational research in unexplored problem spaces and translating insights into breakthrough designs

Intellectual Rigor: Ability to engage with complex technical concepts and translate them into human-comprehensible experiences

First-Principles Thinking: Comfort challenging assumptions and reimagining interactions from fundamental human needs rather than existing patterns

Communication Precision: Capability to articulate design decisions through multiple lenses—technical feasibility, user value, and business impact

You've designed products where the AI isn't just a feature but fundamentally changes the product's architecture

You understand concepts like attention mechanisms, embedding spaces, and temperature settings well enough to design around them

You've wrestled with designing for stochastic outputs and found elegant solutions

You've developed novel interaction patterns that make complex AI capabilities feel simple and delightful

We believe in riding the currents of technological change while maintaining deep empathy for human needs. Our design philosophy centers on finding leverage—identifying the minimal interaction that unlocks maximum value. This role offers the opportunity to define how humanity interfaces with artificial intelligence at a pivotal moment in technological history. You won't just be designing products; you'll be establishing patterns that could influence an entire generation of AI-powered experiences.

TinyFish is committed to building a diverse team that reflects the global community we serve. We encourage applications from candidates who bring unique perspectives and experiences to our design challenges.
