Role

As a Product Designer at Samaya, you will design and shape the end-to-end user experience of our AI-driven platform. As we scale from tens of thousands of expert users who rely on Samaya daily, your work will be critical in ensuring our product is intuitive, elegant, and deeply aligned with how experts think and work. At Samaya, designers are hands-on builders. You will use AI-native tools (e.g., Cursor) to prototype rapidly, write and edit production-ready HTML/CSS when needed, and collaborate directly in the codebase alongside engineers. We do not operate in a static-spec handoff model - design and implementation are tightly integrated.

Workflow Delivery: You will craft thoughtful, high-quality interfaces for our web applications, translating complex AI capabilities into seamless and delightful user experiences. You’ll work at the intersection of AI, research workflows, and expert knowledge systems.

Design Systems & Foundations: You will help build and evolve our design system to ensure consistency, scalability, and speed as our product surface area grows.

In this role, you will define how experts interact with AI — and help build the design culture and standards that scale with our engineering and product teams.

• Ensure consistency and high quality across all user touchpoints

Experience

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

Preferred

• Experience designing AI-driven or data-intensive products
• Experience designing for expert or professional users (researchers, analysts, clinicians, lawyers) where trust, precision, and workflow integration matter more than simplicity alone
• Proficient using cursor, v0, or similar tools to go from design idea to working prototype without engineering support.
• Strong user research and usability testing experience
• Excited about helping define and scale design culture within a growing team
