Sr UX Designer - AI Labs

About the Role

Target is standing up a design practice focused on agentic experiences. As a Senior Product Designer, you'll shape early interaction models, work through open problems with product and engineering, and turn rough ideas into something a team can actually build. Much of this work is systems-level: how a pattern holds up across multiple teams and use cases, beyond the look of any one screen.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and prototype agentic experiences: multi-agent entry points, cross-domain surfaces, and the moments where a system's reasoning needs to be visible and trustworthy.

• Build fast demonstrations that give internal teams something concrete to react to.

• Work directly with product teams adopting agentic AI. Take their early idea and shape it into a real product direction alongside their engineering counterparts.

• Design how trust and autonomy actually show up in an experience: guardrails, human-in-the-loop moments, and how the system's provenance is surfaced to the person using it.

• Hold your work to a high standard across journey maps, flows, and prototypes. Think about whether a pattern holds up beyond the specific team it started with.

• Few precedents exist for this kind of work, so you'll often be inventing the approach as much as the product. Look to the industry for what's working elsewhere, but expect to build new methods where nothing established fits.

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years in product/UX design, with a portfolio that shows you can think past a single user and a single interface, beyond screen-level craft alone.

• Direct exposure to AI/agentic product design, developer experience design, or adjacent work like complex workflow tools, platform/infrastructure UX, or design systems at enterprise scale. You should already be building in this space in some form, even outside a formal role.

• Comfort with ambiguity. You'll sometimes design against a model or platform that's still being finalized, which means structuring your own thinking first, then bringing that structure to the work itself.

• Advanced Figma proficiency and a working understanding of WCAG accessibility standards.

Nice to Have

• Some technical fluency - API literacy, design-to-code tools, or comfort prototyping with code, so you can move fast without waiting on an engineer for every iteration.

• Experience contributing to a design system.

• The ability to walk someone through why you made a decision, beyond what the final screens look like.

• Writing, talks, side projects, or anything else that shows genuine interest in this space. Doesn't need to be public - sharing it alongside your portfolio works too.

A Note on Fit

Take this role if you'd rather help define how this practice works than step into one that's already set. You should be as interested in how trust and autonomy should feel as in what an agent can technically do. Expect to be building the ground you're standing on.
