Senior Staff Product Designer - AI | Deel at hirehire

Job description

Role: Senior Staff Product Designer, AI | Deel Company: Deel Location: Fully remote Job type: Full-time About Deel Deel is an all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. It covers HRIS, payroll, compliance, benefits and equipment for every type of worker in 150+ countries. About 7,000 people work there, across more than 100 countries and 74 languages. Deel reached $1B in annual revenue in just over five years and is valued at $17.3B. It’s pre-IPO, and AI is at the centre of where it’s heading next. About the role You’ll lead design for Deel’s AI products: Deel AI, Akai, chat interfaces, agents and developer tools. AI touches every part of Deel, so the job has two halves. You’ll design the core AI experiences yourself, and you’ll help other teams bring AI into their own products. You’ll work closely with the Principal Designer, who owns the intent bar and the intelligent OS layer. Together you’ll make Deel feel like one connected, intelligent system. What you’ll do - Set the design direction for how AI shows up across the platform: in-chat actions, agent workflows, proactive notifications, anomaly detection and human-in-the-loop moments. - Turn good AI design into clear standards and reusable patterns, together with the design system team. - Help other teams work out where AI fits in their area. You’ll do the work and show them how. - Build the habits that keep quality high: user research, competitor analysis and regular dogfooding of AI products. - Move quickly between topics and make decisions on your own. You’ll work with people across the company, from US sales to risk and compliance. - Mentor designers and help the AI design practice grow. What you need to succeed - 8+ years in product design, including 3+ at Staff level or above. - Deep experience designing AI products such as conversational UX, agents, copilots and automation. Ideally, you’ve taken something from zero to one and then scaled it. - At least one AI feature you shipped inside a product with a proven result, and you can walk us through the whole story: the problem, the research, the prototype, the launch and the outcome. - Excellent craft, and a portfolio that makes people say “wow”. It needs at least one case study. - AI is the first tool you reach for, before Figma or a doc. You follow new releases and actually use them in your work. - You think in systems, and you’re comfortable working with ML engineers on error states and confidence thresholds. - You enjoy moving fast and don’t mind figuring things out as you go. Nice to have - You can ship your own work to production. - Experience applying behavioural science to AI products. - A background in payroll, HR, fintech or compliance, or personal projects you’re proud of. What you get - The chance to shape how AI works across a pre-IPO global platform, with stock grants depending on your role and location. - Fully remote, async-friendly work, plus an optional flexible office membership with IWG. - A strong design team to learn from, and a clear career ladder. - Fair pay based on your skills and experience. Deel never asks about your salary history.
