Design HCI standards for Agentic AI products: create transparency and human-in-the-loop workflows, dynamic/generative and multi-modal interfaces, trust/error UX for hallucinations, prototype autonomous sequences with tools like Figma/Protopie, and organize dense information for auditability and oversight.
We are looking for a forward-thinking UI/UX Designer to define the human-computer interaction (HCI) standards for our Agentic AI products. You will move beyond traditional dashboard design to create intuitive "co-working" experiences where users can delegate tasks to autonomous agents, monitor their progress, and intervene when necessary.
Key Responsibilities
- Designing for Transparency (Chain of Thought): Create visual patterns that allow users to see how an agent is thinking and why it made a specific decision (e.g., status indicators, reasoning logs, and thought-process visualizations).
- Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Workflows: Design seamless "intervention points" where an agent pauses to ask for permission, clarification, or feedback before taking high-stakes actions.
- Dynamic & Generative UI: Develop interfaces that adapt in real-time based on the agent's current task—moving away from static menus toward context-aware components.
- Trust & Error UX: Design how the system handles "hallucinations" or failures. You will create graceful ways for the AI to admit uncertainty and for users to correct agent behavior.
- Multi-modal Interaction: Craft experiences that fluidly transition between text (chat), voice, and "canvas" environments where agents and humans can work on the same document or data set simultaneously.
- Prototyping "Agency": Use tools like Figma, Protopie, or low-code AI frameworks to prototype complex sequences where the software takes multiple steps autonomously.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Experience: 8+ years in UI/UX Design, with a portfolio showcasing complex workflows, SaaS platforms, or (ideally) AI-driven interfaces.
- AI Literacy: A deep understanding of how LLMs work, including concepts like latency, token streaming, and the probabilistic nature of AI responses.
- Systemic Thinking: Ability to design "states" rather than just "screens"—understanding that the UI must reflect whether an agent is idle, thinking, searching, executing, or stuck.
- Information Architecture: Expertise in organizing high-density information (logs, data sources, citations) into clean, digestible visual hierarchies.
- Psychology of Design: Familiarity with the "uncanny valley" and the psychology of trust/automation bias in human-AI collaboration.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Canvas-based UIs.
- Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS and Angular to understand the technical constraints of streaming AI outputs.
- Experience designing for specialized industries like Fintech, Healthcare, or Legal where accuracy and auditability are critical.
