Senior Designer - AI Focus

We’re seeking a visionary Senior Designer with an AI focus to bring innovation to a forward-thinking tech client. This is a unique opportunity for a design leader who combines world-class visual and art direction skills with deep expertise in AI tools, workflows, and creative strategy.

You’ll not only craft compelling, visually stunning work across brand, marketing, and product experiences—you’ll also pioneer how AI becomes part of the creative process. From producing jaw-dropping generative visuals to utilizing the latest and greatest AI technology, you’ll be at the forefront of demonstrating what’s possible when design and AI intersect.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Concept and design social-first content—AI-generated visuals, animations, and short-form videos that resonate across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X.
• Explore, experiment, and prototype with emerging AI tools—generating image, video, motion, and interactive concepts that push creative boundaries.
• Lead visual experimentation with emerging AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, Sora, Stable Diffusion) to create trend-setting content.
• Develop and maintain a visual identity for our AI-focused storytelling, ensuring every post is instantly recognizable and on-brand.

• 6+ years in design, art direction, or visual storytelling roles, ideally within creative agencies, studios, or forward-thinking brands.
• A world-class portfolio showcasing both traditional design mastery and AI-generated creative work.
• Deep proficiency with design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, motion/3D software) and expertise with AI creative tools (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, Stable Diffusion, Sora, DALL·E, Kaiber, etc.).
• Background in creative coding, XR/AR/VR, or generative art.
• Familiarity with ethical AI practices and accessibility standards.
• Proven ability to concept and execute across formats—static, motion, experiential, and interactive.
• Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-evolving spaces, with a bias toward experimentation and rapid iteration.

• Medical, dental, vision, and more!
• Generous time off package, including the last week of the year
• 401k & Roth retirement investment options with employer match after one year
