About the role

BirdEye is looking for a Principal AI-Native Product Designer to define and deliver the next generation of intelligent customer experiences.

This is a senior individual-contributor role for a designer who can turn rapidly evolving AI capabilities into products that feel simple, trustworthy and genuinely useful. You will work across AI agents, agent-building tools, conversational experiences, automation and human-in-the-loop workflows.

You will operate at both strategic and execution levels—setting the experience vision, shaping product direction, building prototypes and partnering closely with Product, Engineering, AI/ML and executive leadership. Your work will help make sophisticated AI capabilities self-service for customers, without requiring extensive onboarding or ongoing support.

What you’ll do

• Define the experience vision and design strategy for BirdEye’s AI-native products and agent platform.
• Transform complex AI models, agent behaviors and workflows into intuitive customer experiences.
• Design systems that help users create, configure, test, deploy, monitor and improve AI agents independently.
• Establish interaction patterns for conversational interfaces, generative experiences, automation and human oversight.
• Create journey maps, workflows, prototypes and production-ready designs.
• Lead discovery and usability research with real customers, translating insights into measurable product improvements.
• Design for transparency, trust, explainability, control, graceful failure and responsible AI use.
• Partner with Product and Engineering from early exploration through launch and iteration.
• Prototype with modern design and AI tools to evaluate ideas quickly.
• Define success measures for usability, adoption, task completion, customer confidence and support reduction.
• Raise the quality bar through critique, mentorship and reusable AI experience principles.
• Influence senior leaders and align teams around a coherent, customer-centered product vision.
