Our team is spread between Asia and Europe. You’re welcome to work remotely from anywhere, with at least 4 hours overlap with with the people you’d be working closely with, or you can join us in our Hong Kong or London office.

About the role:
We are looking for a talented Product Designer with 5+ years of experience and a strong portfolio that demonstrates interaction and interface design excellence across platforms. In this role, you will be responsible for crafting elegant, usable, and intelligent experiences in a multi-platform AI-powered note-taking environment.

- Design interfaces that clearly communicate AI intent, limitations, and confidence levels
- Support and coach other designers, especially around new AI workflows and user journeys
- Develop intuitive interfaces that balance automation and user control
- Use qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions and iterate on designs quickly
The skills you will need to be successful in the above:

- Strong design and prototyping skills, with the ability to quickly visualize concepts and ship high-fidelity design
- Ability to work independently and lead through ambiguity while collaborating asynchronously across time zones
- Experience partnering closely with PMs, engineers, and researchers to define and deliver great product
- Confidence in giving and receiving critique and guiding junior designers or peers
- Ability to design within constraints (e.g. regulatory, legal, and data privacy), while maintaining great UX
What else would help you, but is not required
- Experience designing productivity tools or collaboration software
- Familiarity with onboarding flows and user education
- Comfort conducting your own user research and usability testing
- A track record of contributing to or managing a multi-platform design system
- Knowledge of AI ethics, data bias, false positives, transparency, and explainability
