Senior Product Designer
Technology, Data & Digital · Product & Design · UI/UX Design
In short
As a Senior Product Designer, you will reshape product design for the AI era by building intelligent systems and orchestrating AI agents to create innovative monetization experiences across Microsoft's consumer surfaces. This role requires a blend of design craft, systems thinking, and expertise in AI technologies to define and deliver high-quality, AI-powered consumer experiences.
Responsibilities
- Own and ship high-quality AI-powered consumer experiences from early exploration through implementation, maintaining a high bar for interaction quality, visual craft, accessibility, trust, and customer impact.
- Design systems that design. Create AI-powered workflows that generate, critique, evaluate, refine, and operationalize design work at scale.
- Build and orchestrate teams of AI agents with specialized roles, tools, context, memory, and responsibilities.
- Develop recursive and learning design systems that use research, experimentation, product signals, evaluation, and human feedback to continuously improve their outputs.
- Build custom tools, prototypes, automations, and agentic workflows using code, models, APIs, structured data, and emerging AI technologies.
- Encode design principles, customer knowledge, interaction patterns, brand standards, and quality criteria into reusable systems.
- Design intelligent product behaviors that give people appropriate understanding and control, including intent, delegation, system status, uncertainty, correction, recovery, and human oversight.
- Define what good looks like for AI-driven experiences and build evaluation mechanisms that assess quality, identify failure modes, and improve the system.
- Partner deeply with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Research, Design, and business teams.
- Identify repeated human effort that can become scalable intelligence through automation, delegation, orchestration, or continuous learning.
- Share tools, agents, patterns, and learnings so individual experimentation becomes reusable organizational capability.
Requirements
- Master's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 4+ years experience working in product or service design OR Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 5+ years experience working in product or service design OR equivalent experience.
- Required to be local to the San Francisco Bay Area and work in-office four days per week (for Mountain View, CA).
- Required to be local to the greater Seattle metropolitan area and work in-office four days per week (for Redmond, WA).
Desired Qualifications
- Master's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 6+ years experience working in product or service design OR Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 8+ years experience working in product or service design OR equivalent experience.
- A portfolio or body of work demonstrating exceptional product, interaction, and visual design judgment, along with experience shipping high-quality digital products.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience building and orchestrating AI-powered workflows or agentic systems, including agents that use tools, context, delegation, evaluation, and feedback to accomplish complex work.
- Evidence of personally building working AI-driven systems, tools, or experiences that materially changed how a problem was explored, designed, or solved.
- Experience building multi-agent, recursive, or self-improving systems that evaluate outputs, incorporate feedback, and iteratively improve subsequent work.
- Solid understanding of LLMs and generative AI, including prompting, context engineering, model and tool orchestration, structured outputs, retrieval, and evaluation.
- Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or similar technologies, with the ability to independently create and modify functional prototypes and tools.
- Experience working with APIs, structured data, models, tools, and external services to construct end-to-end AI experiences.
- Experience creating AI-powered design tooling, automation, or systems that expand the capabilities of other designers.
- Solid understanding of evaluation for probabilistic systems, including defining quality criteria, identifying failure modes, and designing feedback and recovery mechanisms.
- Exceptional interaction and visual design craft paired with the ability to encode taste and quality into principles, constraints, prompts, evaluations, tools, and systems that people or agents can apply.
- Demonstrated ability to establish direction in ambiguous technical spaces and transform emerging technology into understandable, useful, and differentiated customer experiences.
- Solid product judgment and the ability to connect customer needs, technology, research, business context, and measurable outcomes.
- Ability to explain complex AI systems clearly and build alignment across Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Design, and business leadership.
Benefits
- This role will be part of our Monetization Inventory Design team, focused on shaping current and future monetization experiences across Microsoft Copilot, Bing (including AI Overviews and AI Mode), MSN, gaming, and other key consumer surfaces.
- You will work across today's advertising experiences and explore entirely new models that use AI to redefine how people interact with technology and how those experiences create value for consumers and businesses.
- Starting January 26, 2026, Microsoft AI (MAI) employees who live within a 50- mile commute of a designated Microsoft office in the U.S. or 25-mile commute of a non-U.S., country-specific location are expected to work from the office at least four days per week.
