Senior Product Designer, AI Platform

Location: US, Remote

Department: Design

About the role

You will own product design for the Agent Harness, the part of Gladly AI where teams build, test, launch, monitor, and improve AI agents. Your surface spans both sides of the harness. 

1. On the side Gladly controls, the agent itself and the channels it works across, your job is helping AI handle more conversations end to end without a human. 
2. On the side our customers control, the reporting, simulations, and configuration tools brands use to improve their own agents, your job is making every change a customer ships drive more revenue and resolutions.

This is a generalist role where range matters more than depth in any single discipline. In a given week, you might design an eval review workflow, prototype an agent-steering interaction, tighten the design system components that every team consumes, and review UI that shipped without a designer touching it. Much of the product surface at Gladly is now built with AI-assisted tools by engineers and PMs, so a core part of this job is setting and elevating the quality bar for interfaces you didnt author: through the design system, through review, and through taste.

Thoughtful problem-solvers do well here. They dig into the problem before the fix, make their case clearly, and hold strong opinions loosely. The best work usually has more than one mind in it, so we look for designers who seek out other peoples ideas and treat them as well as their own.

What youll own

• End-to-end product design for the Agent Harness: research, flows, interaction design, and visual design for the tools teams use to configure, steer, and evaluate AI agents.
• The shared design library: components, patterns, and guidelines that keep quality high across every team, including teams shipping UI without a dedicated designer.
• Direction on the undefined problems: taking a product area where the direction is still ambiguous, finding the real problem in it, and giving the team something concrete to build toward.
• Design quality across your product areas, including reviewing and elevating AI-generated and engineer-built UI rather than personally producing every screen.
• Prototyping as a first-class design tool: working prototypes, built fast with AI-assisted tooling, used to test ideas with users and align teams before a line of production code is written.
• Designers here shape the practice as well as the product. Youll have real say in the critique rituals, review norms, and craft standards we already run on, and in where they go next.

What were looking for

• A strong generalist portfolio spanning complex workflow tools, systems thinking, and polished visual craft, ideally including AI product surfaces such as conversational interfaces, agent configuration and oversight tools, or evaluation/observability dashboards.
• Fluency with AI-assisted prototyping and design tooling as part of your daily workflow (going from idea to working prototype in a matter of hours) and a clear point of view on where AI accelerates design work and where human judgment is non-negotiable.
• Experience designing for AI-native products: interfaces where the systems behavior is probabilistic, where trust and steering matter, and where the design problem is as much about legibility and control as about pixels.
• Comfort operating as the design owner for surfaces you didnt personally build: giving crisp, actionable feedback, encoding standards into reusable systems, and raising the bar without being a bottleneck.
• Demonstrated senior-IC judgment: you scope your own work, make progress before the problem is fully defined, carry multiple product areas at once, and operate with minimal oversight.

What this role is not

• This is not a people-management role; it is a senior individual contributor position reporting to the Head of Product.
• This is not a specialist role in a single discipline (pure UX research, pure visual design, or pure design systems); it deliberately spans all of them.
• This is not a brand or marketing design role; it is product design for our AI platform.
