• Help define and evolve design patterns and systems across the product suite
• Incorporate AI-driven workflows into product experiences where relevant
• Gather and incorporate user feedback directly from customers and end users to continuously improve the experience
• Proactively articulate speculative concepts into feasible solutions

Qualifications
