THE ROLE 

We're building Zeta Developer Platform, our next-generation Marketing Operating System, and we need a Senior Product Designer who will be instrumental to its success. This role is a pillar position that bridges design and engineering to create the core foundation of the Agentic Application Framework that will fuel our Zeta Developer Platform experience. You'll partner with our design system team, inform Model Context Protocol (MCP) improvements, and build the foundation—then scale—our Agentic and Vertical Apps infrastructure. You'll join at a pivotal moment where we're raising the bar on quality, speed, and innovation. We're looking for someone who can challenge us in the best way: bringing strong skills in AI, visual design, UX, motion, and coding to push our thinking forward and help us achieve what hasn't been done before. 

This is a foundational role for a product that will define our company's future. You won't just be designing features—you'll be architecting how AI-powered apps are built across the entire platform.

  • You're building the foundation, not a feature: Designing the Agentic Apps Framework that powers Zeta Developer Platform end to end
  • AI is core to the product, not an experiment: You'll ship real, production-grade agentic experiences customers rely on every day
  • Design has real leverage here: Your systems, patterns, and processes will enable teams across the company to move faster without sacrificing quality
  • True ownership: Help set standards, define best practices, and shape what "great" looks like as the platform scales
  • Compounding impact: The work you do will influence how apps are built, how teams collaborate, and how Zeta Developer Platform evolves

THE TEAM 

We're evolving how we work to reach the next level:

  • Vision over hand-holding leads to more creativity and innovation
  • Empowerment and delegation leads to more accountability and ownership
  • Strategy and clarity means less management, more impact
  • Challenge and growth creates better outcomes through healthy debate

We value people who bring ideas on what we should stop doing, start doing, or change to elevate our team.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Build the Foundation of Agentic & Vertical Apps Own and evolve our Agentic & Vertical Apps experiences in Figma, manage and improve the App Creation Process, and provide quality oversight to guide others who are new to the process. You'll create the systematic foundation that enables consistency, scalability, and exceptional quality across our entire product ecosystem.
  • Partner Closely with Product & Engineering to Shape Apps Work as a core triad partner with Product Management and Engineering to define strategy, scope, and execution—translating complex requirements and technical constraints into clear, intuitive agentic experiences. Iterate and improve on Agentic App concepts to deliver on unique customer use cases. 
  • Advance AI-Driven Design Patterns & Model Context Experiences: Inform and evolve Model Context Protocol (MCP) patterns, AI interaction models, and agent behaviors—helping define how users understand, trust, and collaborate with intelligent systems inside a marketing operating system. 
  • Raise the Bar on Craft, Motion, and Interaction Quality: Lead by example through strong visual design, interaction design, motion, and prototyping—setting a new quality bar for speed, clarity, and polish across AI-powered workflows and tools. 
  • Influence, Mentor, and Scale Design Impact: Act as a force multiplier for the design team by mentoring designers, reviewing work, and challenging assumptions—while creating the systems, interfaces, and processes that enable the company to scale high-quality Agentic Apps with speed, consistency, and confidence.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 7–10+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time spent on complex platforms, systems, or tools (B2B, SaaS, or AI-driven products strongly preferred)
  • Demonstrated experience leading foundational or platform-level design work that scales across teams, products, or workflows
  • Hands-on experience designing and shipping AI-powered features, workflows, or systems
  • Proven track record of partnering closely with Product and Engineering in fast-paced environments
  • Experience mentoring designers, influencing standards, and shaping how design work scales—without needing formal management responsibility

Core Skills

  • AI & Agentic Design Fluency: Strong understanding of AI-powered workflows, agentic systems, and emerging interaction patterns, with hands-on experience using AI tools to inform, accelerate, and enhance product design. Comfortable designing experiences shaped by models, context, and automation—not just static interfaces.
  • Systems & Platform Design Expertise: Proven ability to design scalable systems, frameworks, and interfaces that support consistency, flexibility, and speed across complex product ecosystems. Deep experience working in Figma with structured libraries, reusable patterns, and scalable design foundations.
  • End-to-End Product Design Craft: Excellence across UX, visual design, interaction design, and motion, with the ability to design sophisticated workflows that feel intuitive, human, and high-quality—especially in technically complex environments.
  • Strong Product Thinking: Can clearly articulate problem → user job → system behavior → outcome. Comfortable designing flows where intent matters more than screens. Knows when not to add UI.
  • Motion & Micro-Interaction Design: Strong understanding of animation as UX, not decoration. Uses motion to explain system state changes, communicate AI progress and confidence, and reduce perceived latency. Designs micro-interactions for loading → ready, generating → refining, and success/failure/partial results. Motion should make the system feel alive, responsive, and understandable—especially when AI is working in the background.
  • Technical Collaboration & Prototyping: Strong comfort partnering with engineers, understanding technical constraints, and using prototyping (low- and high-fidelity, coded or no-code) to explore, validate, and communicate complex ideas.
  • Design Leadership Without Authority: Ability to influence outcomes through clarity, critique, documentation, and example-setting—raising the bar for quality and consistency across teams without relying on formal management.

Mindset & Approach

  • High Autonomy: Does not need step-by-step direction. Can take a fuzzy problem and drive it to clarity. Comfortable owning an area end-to-end.
  • Strong Judgment: Knows what's important vs. what's nice. Can say "this doesn't need design" or "this isn't worth solving yet." Optimizes for impact, not aesthetics.
  • Clear Communicator: Explains thinking simply to PMs, Engineering, and Leadership. Writes clear rationale, not just design artifacts. Can disagree without being defensive.
  • Comfort with Ambiguity: Does not freeze when requirements are incomplete. Enjoys shaping the problem space, not just executing tickets. Can operate before things are fully defined.
  • Ownership & Accountability: Treats the product like theirs. Follows through. Cares about outcomes, not just delivery.
  • AI-Forward & Curious: Actively experiments with AI tools, workflows, and emerging technologies, and brings that learning back to the team.
  • Quality Advocate with Pragmatic Judgment: Cares deeply about craft and polish while understanding that perfect is the enemy of good. Knows when to push for excellence and when to ship, learn, and iterate.

Design & Systems Tools

  • Figma (expert level): Deep experience with scalable component architecture, variants, auto-layout, design tokens, and shared libraries
  • Rive, FigJam, Figma Slides

AI-Native Design Tools

  • Hands-on, regular use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar LLMs as part of your design workflow—for ideation, exploration, synthesis, critique, and system thinking

AI-Assisted Build & Prototyping

  • Comfort using tools like Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, Claude Code, or similar to prototype and experiment on AI-enabled experiences
  • Familiarity with Storybook, React/Next.js

Motion & Interaction

  • Experience with Rive, Motion.dev, Framer Motion, GSAP, or D3 to design micro-animations and stateful interactions that communicate system behavior and progress

Prototyping

  • Strong comfort with Figma Prototypes, Framer, ProtoPie, or similar to explore behavior, timing, and interaction

Technical Fluency

  • Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and modern frontend concepts, with the ability to read code, collaborate deeply with engineers, and understand implementation tradeoffs

Collaboration

  • Comfort with modern product development workflows: GitHub, Jira, Linear, Notion, Slack, Confluence
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • Familiarity with MCP concepts, including how context, memory, tools, and agents influence system behavior and user experience

  • Unlimited PTO
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Employee Equity
  • Employee Discounts, Virtual Wellness Classes, and Pet Insurance And more!!

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
