Sr Staff Product Designer, GenStudio & Firefly Enterprise

The opportunity

We’re looking for a Sr. Staff Designer to help define how intelligence, automation, and creativity come together in the next generation of creative workflows. This role sits at the intersection of brand systems, AI, and creative infrastructure—shaping experiences that make creativity more adaptive, scalable, and expressive.

Love experimenting with new technologies? Curious about how AI can expand creativity? This might be your next challenge!

What you'll do

This role designs systems and interfaces that empower creatives to work with intelligent tools—whether that means developing adaptive brand systems, building design automation frameworks, or exploring how custom image and video models become part of the creative process.

You’ll collaborate with engineers and researchers to prototype and refine new experiences that make creative workflows faster and smarter. You might design internal tools that power creative teams or invent new interaction patterns for human–AI collaboration across visual, motion, and generative spaces.

Above all, this designer brings a tinkerer’s mindset—experimenting, iterating, and learning through building. Prototypes are used as thinking tools, evolving concepts through feedback and exploration.

What you'll bring

• 8+ years of experience in product, systems, or interaction design—ideally across tools or platforms for creative professionals.

• Strong design craft with a systems mentality and fluency in scalable automation.

• Experience designing for AI-assisted or automated workflows.

• Technical comfort working with APIs, rendering pipelines, or creative scripting.

• Hands-on skill with prototyping tools (Figma, code, or low-fi mockups).

• Bonus points for experience with creative automation, brand systems, or model-based workflows (image, video, motion).

• Passion for accessibility, scalability, and inclusive design principles.

You might be a great fit if you...

• Think in systems but design with empathy.

• Love prototyping—and see experimentation as your design superpower.

• Have experience shaping or maintaining large-scale brand systems and can apply that thinking to intelligent creative tools.

• Are motivated by defining what creativity looks like in the age of automation and AI!

• Enjoy working at the intersection of craft, curiosity, and technology.

Preferred Design Accessibility Skills:

• Experience designing accessible and inclusive interfaces for people with disabilities.

• Familiarity with WCAG standards and testing for accessibility compliance.

• Certifications such as CPACC, WAS, CPWA, or ADS from IAAP are a plus.
