You will lead the prototyping and development of AI-driven interfaces, pushing the boundaries of what's technically possible while ensuring experiences remain accessible, responsive, and deeply human-centric. In this role, you won't just be building UI—you will be architecting the frameworks that translate complex machine learning models into delightful, everyday tools, setting the technical standard for UX engineering across our organization.
