Required Technical and Professional Expertise

• Human-Centered Design: You have a deep understanding of human-centered design methods and mindset

• Cross-disciplinary Collaboration: You excel at uniting design and engineering

• Innovation: You can apply new applications for emerging tech

• Rapid Prototyping: You can create context-appropriate, low- to high-fidelity digital and physical prototypes.

• Human-in-the-Loop Patterns: You can design interaction patterns for approvals, escalation, rollbacks, and exception handling so agents act safely and users stay in control.

• Feasibility Analysis: You can assess design’s technical feasibility, system integration, and implementation pathways

• Storytelling: You can translate prototypes and technical insights into compelling narratives

• AI and Data Ethics: You leverage AI tools and data strategies with awareness of equity, bias, and transparency. This includes responsible agentic AI patterns (tool permissioning, human-in-the-loop controls, auditability).

• Tool Building for APIs (Agent Tools): You can define and prototype lightweight “agent tools” that expose capabilities via APIs (REST/GraphQL), including clear input/output schemas, error handling, and versioning so AI engineers can reliably wire tools into agent runtimes.

• Front-End Engineering for Agentic Experiences: You can build modern web interfaces (e.g., React/TypeScript) that integrate with agentic systems—supporting streaming responses, conversation + workflow state, and human-in-the-loop actions (approve/deny/escalate) with traceable outcomes.

• Agent Evaluation & Quality: You can define basic evaluation criteria for agent behavior (accuracy, reliability, safety, latency, and user trust), and iterate using test prompts, structured cases, and lightweight metrics.

Preferred Professional and Technical Expertise

• 1-3+ years of relevant experience (dependent on level)

• Vertical domain experience (e.g., finance, retail, healthcare, industrial)

• Experience in both enterprise and agency worlds

• Knowledge and experience in IT infrastructure, architecture, and platform capabilities

• Background in behavioral science, change management, or design research

• Applied or academic experience with data science, AI/ML, or HCI

• You can partner with AI engineers working in open-source agent runtimes and translate experience requirements into tool contracts, UI behaviors, and evaluation criteria without blocking engineering velocity.

You may specialize more deeply in:

• AI/ML/GenAI

• Phygital / Immersive Design

• IoT / Connected Product Design

• Mobile and Web Front-End Engineering

Required Education

• Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant field (or equivalent demonstrable portfolio of work).

Preferred Education

• Advanced degree or certification in design, HCI, computer science, or related (e.g., MDM, MDes, MFA, d.MBA or equivalent) is a plus.
