Role expectations

• Lead design hands-on across multiple platforms, taking complex workflows from concept through high-fidelity delivery with strong craft in layout, interaction, and content.
• Bring experience from an AI-leading environment to introduce new patterns, evaluation methods, and workflows that raise how the team uses AI in both their process and the products they ship.
• Partner with Product Management to understand priorities, surface trade-offs, and keep scope and risks visible as the work progresses.
• Build trusted relationships with clinical stakeholders, run practice interviews and summit sessions, and feed what you hear back into delivery.
• Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the Align Design System (ADS) with standards, patterns, and usage rules grounded in real product needs.

What we're looking for

• 6-10 years of product design experience with a strong portfolio showing end-to-end ownership of complex workflows, not just individual screens.
• Demonstrated experience at a company where AI was a core part of the product or design process, with clear examples of how you led AI-informed design decisions that impacted customer outcomes.
• Proficiency in Figma for design, prototyping, and design system contribution. Hands-on experience with AI design tools and workflows.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present to senior stakeholders, explain trade-offs clearly, and align cross-functional partners.
• Ability to work onsite in San Jose with a distributed global team across time zones.

• Experience with healthcare, clinical, or dental workflows and understanding of regulatory constraints.
• Track record of introducing AI-accelerated design practices to a team, including tooling, prompt patterns, or evaluation rubrics.
• Experience contributing to or governing a design system at scale.
• Familiarity with running lightweight research (usability testing, VOC synthesis, usage data analysis) to inform design direction.
