Product Designers at Apollo are trusted partners in shaping strategy, driving experimentation, and creating intuitive, user-centric experiences that deliver measurable impact. We appreciate designers who think deeply, speak clearly, love collaboration and feedback, and are always learning about best practices to master their craft.</p> <p>Our Product Managers, Design, and Engineering teams are structured as Squads focused on several core features of the product. You will be assigned to a Squad alongside one Product Manager and multiple Engineers, and regularly collaborate with designers from other pods to share learnings and ensure a cohesive user experience.</p> <p>This role will initially be focused on Apollo's Extension and Settings surfaces, helping bring a higher bar of quality and intentionality to how users interact with Apollo outside the core web app. But more than a domain fit, we're hiring for someone who brings an AI-first approach to both their craft and the experiences they create, someone who uses AI aggressively to move faster, thinks fluently about agentic workflows, and designs AI-powered features with the trust, transparency, and control users need to actually rely on them.</p> <h2>Responsibilities</h2> <ul> <li>Design intuitive, explainable, and user-centered experiences that integrate seamlessly into Apollo's product ecosystem, surfacing contextual intelligence, automation, and LLM-driven experience in ways users can understand and trust.</li> <li>Collaborate with AI engineers and data scientists to understand model capabilities, limitations, and optimal UX patterns and translate that understanding into clear interaction models that balance automation with user control.</li> <li>Lead design for the Extension and Admin surfaces, ensuring they meet a high bar of quality, coherence, and utility across the diverse contexts where users encounter Apollo.</li> <li>Use AI tools aggressively in your own workflow for ideation, rapid prototyping, research synthesis, and iteration and help raise the bar for how the team uses them.</li> <li>Partner with PMs, Engineers, and Analysts to identify user needs, pain points, and opportunities through research, data, and experimentation.</li> <li>Design for scale and consistency by contributing to and building upon Apollo's cross-surface design system in Figma.</li> <li>Prototype, test, and iterate rapidly, using user feedback and behavioral data to validate solutions and drive toward the best experience — not just a defensible one.</li> <li>Collaborate with your squad during Weekly Sprint Planning and Daily Standups to ensure the highest-quality experience is being built, and conduct design QA to close the gap between spec and ship.</li> <li>Collaborate with other Designers to provide feedback, share best practices, and maintain a cohesive experience across the product.</li> <li>Advocate for the user through interviews, usability tests, and behavioral analytics and triangulate across signals to form well-grounded points of view.</li> </ul> <h2>Qualifications</h2> <ul> <li>6+ years of experience designing and shipping complex web-based products founded in data and customer insights.</li> <li>You work in an AI-first way. You use LLMs, AI-assisted prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), and generative workflows as a normal part of how you work — not occasionally, but daily.</li> <li>Experience designing AI-powered features — conversational interfaces, recommendation systems, agentic workflows, or generative AI applications with a nuanced understanding of how to design for trust, transparency, and appropriate user control.</li> <li>Strong discernment: you can evaluate AI-generated output critically, identify what's wrong or missing, and know when to accept, redirect, or discard a direction. You are the editorial layer that makes AI useful.</li> <li>You have expert design instincts and best-practice knowledge to translate user problems, business objectives, and technical constraints into excellent product experiences and you can do it quickly without sacrificing quality.</li> <li>You're a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can work across multiple projects simultaneously, and brings genuine o
