About the Role
Develop and deliver complex visual design solutions that define how developers interact with agentic AI, from spec-driven workflows and parallel agent orchestration to code correctness feedback and multi-model interfaces. Establish visual language and evolve UI patterns that scale across Kiro's surfaces, concept expressive hero features, and enable other UX designers and engineers to deliver high-quality developer experiences more efficiently.
Responsibilities
- Define and evolve Kiro's visual language, establishing UI systems, interaction patterns, and visual expression for agentic AI concepts that scale across IDE, Desktop, CLI, Web, and Mobile surfaces.
- Deliver complex visual design solutions, working both tactically and strategically on Kiro's client experiences, conceiving hero features and driving them to pixel-perfect production with engineering partners.
- Art direct motion, illustration, and animation to bring agentic capabilities to life within developer workflows through micro-interactions that communicate system state and agent activity.
- Drive cross-surface and cross-team coherence by collaborating with teams to ship unified visual standards, making trade-offs between rapid iteration and scalable systems.
- Present and advocate creative strategy and the 'why' behind visual decisions to senior leadership, contextualizing solutions within Kiro's business goals and developer needs.
- Mentor designers and multiply team output by actively developing other designers, contributing to the Kiro design system, and driving studio standards that enable rapid prototyping and consistent delivery across teams.
