AutogenAI is building AI agents that research, draft, and assemble proposals on behalf of bid and proposal teams—moving beyond AI that suggests to AI that acts, while keeping humans firmly in control.
You will be a Principal Product Designer shaping how teams delegate to, supervise, and trust AI agents. This is a hands-on individual contributor role where you'll own the experience of key platform areas and help raise the bar for design across the team. You'll report to the Chief Product Officer and work closely with a design team of 4, plus Product, Engineering, and Customer teams.
Key responsibilities:
• Shape product direction by partnering with Product and Engineering leads to frame user and business problems, influence the roadmap, and turn ambiguity into clear design strategy.
• Design how people work with agents—moving beyond "AI proposes, human accepts" to calibrated autonomy with clear moments for review, override, and audit built in from the start.
• Make trust visible by extending trust patterns (source verification, calibrated confidence, visible progress) so every claim can be checked and every autonomous step traced back to what it did and why.
• Treat context as design material by working with Engineering on what the system knows when it acts (instructions, memory, retrieved evidence, tool access) as part of the experience, alongside layout and flow.
• Own complex journeys end-to-end, taking multi-step, multi-user workflows from discovery to polished, production-ready UI, making hard trade-offs and bringing stakeholders with you.
• Lead the design system's evolution to keep agentic and AI-assisted patterns feeling like one coherent, accessible, and refined product as the company grows.
• Stay close to users by leading research with customers and internal bid teams working under deadline and compliance pressure. Learn where they welcome AI autonomy and where they need control, and connect design decisions to measurable outcomes.
• Ship with care by working with engineers on edge cases, failure states, and QA so what ships matches design intent and stands up to enterprise and regulatory scrutiny.
• Help designers grow by mentoring, leading critiques, and shaping how design is practiced and valued at AutogenAI.
This is a hybrid role requiring two days per week in the London office.
Requirements:
• Significant experience at Principal or strong Senior+ level designing B2B enterprise SaaS, with a track record of influencing direction beyond your own features.
• A portfolio showing clear problem framing, strategic thinking, and high-quality UI for complex workflows: intricate processes, multiple user types, or high-stakes decisions.
• Hands-on experience designing AI-powered products, ideally agentic ones. You understand the difference between a system that suggests and one that acts, and what that shift asks of an interface.
• An understanding that trust and explainability live in system state and interaction sequencing, not only in microcopy or visual treatment.
• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA) and inclusive design.
• The ability to lead through influence: clear communication, sound judgment on trade-offs, and confidence presenting to and challenging senior stakeholders.
• Comfort in a fast-moving environment, turning complex, AI-mediated work into simple, usable experiences.
