• Design with compliance and risk in mind (e.g., PCI, PSD2/SCA, KYC/AML, disclosures, accessibility), working with Legal, Risk, and Compliance partners.
• Design thoughtful AI-enabled experiences where they add real value, including conversational and agentic interfaces, explainability, user control, and error recovery.
• Develop and evolve our design language and system, including patterns for AI-driven features, and keep it consistent across products.
• Serve as a primary design point of contact for Engineering leads and developers, answering usability questions and approving design and UX quality in the QA process.
