About the role
We’re hiring a Member of Design Staff with technical skills to own visual craft and product design at Highlight. You’ll help define how people interact with AI beyond chatboxes, and your work will be visible immediately in the product. If successful, your designs will be the reason people screenshot Highlight, share it, and talk about how innovative it feels.
What they're looking for
- You have shipped products users obsess over
- You are exceptional at turning rough interaction concepts and wireframes into polished, production-ready interfaces
- You can’t get enough of micro-interactions, animation, and interaction details that elevate the entire product
- You are deeply plugged into state-of-the-art UI and actively experiment beyond existing design conventions
- You’ve independently designed and shipped work at the level of the Dia (Mac) onboarding, Lapse (iOS), or corner maps (iOS). That level of craft and product judgment is the baseline for this role. Familiarity with work like this is expected
- You can prototype advanced interactions quickly, and are either technical yourself or fluent with tools like Cursor or Claude Code to realize ideas without waiting on others

You’ll take raw interaction ideas, half-formed concepts, and functional wireframes and turn them into interfaces that feel inevitable, futuristic, and obsessively polished. This role is about execution at the highest level: pixels, motion, transitions, hierarchy, and interaction details that make complex AI systems feel simple, powerful, and delightful. You’ll work directly with product, and engineering to bring new interaction models to life fast – often going from idea to high-fidelity prototype in hours, not weeks.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll...
