About ScispotWere a Y Combinator-backed startup on a mission to turn every lab into an AI power house. Our multi-agent platform integrates AI agents into lab operations. Our main AI agent, Scibot, helps automate experiments, manage data, and deliver insights. We move fast, collaborate often, and push the boundaries of biotech R&D.We have seen the first generation of agents with a basic understanding of chat interface. I think Gen 2 versions of agents will be hidden in the UX. The agents will recommend, prioritise, and suggest while the user navigates the product. Scispot is looking for a designer who understands how this type of agent will impact the lives of wet lab scientists and computational biologists. Role OverviewWere seeking a Senior AI Product Designer to craft user experiences driven by advanced AI.Youll work at the intersection of design, engineering, and biotech R&D.Youll ensure AI-based features are intuitive, beautiful, and truly helpful to scientists.We want someone who can prototype in Figma or code and who isnt afraid to get hands-on.We believe the future of labs is self driving labs powered by AI agents. This person will play an instrumental role in crafting user experiences that creates Aha moments for scientists. Key Responsibilities1.AI-Driven UX & Visual DesignCreate engaging interfaces for our AI features, including multi-agent workflows.Simplify complex lab tasks into intuitive layouts and user flows.Collaborate with AI engineers to design interfaces that handle real-time data and dynamic outputs.Deliver success for Scispot AI agents such as Proto, Plato, Scibot, etc2.Prototyping & TestingBuild quick prototypes in Figma/React/Replit/Cursor to validate ideas and technical feasibilityRun user tests with scientists to gather feedback.Iterate rapidly based on data and user behavior.3.Integration with Scispot Tech StackUnderstand our backend (Node, Java, Python) and AI stackAlign front-end prototypes (React) with the existing API and microservices based architecture.Collaborate on containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes) to ensure designs function at scale.4. Cross-Functional CollaborationWork with computational biologists and wet-lab scientists to capture domain insights.Contribute design inputs to data pipelines (OpenSearch, MongoDB, CosmosDB).Ensure a consistent user experience across web app, data dashboards, and AI agent interfaces.5. Product Strategy & LeadershipMeasure your success with stickiness of the featuresMentor junior designers or engineers on best practices in user-centric design.Requirements1.AI Product Design Experience3+ years designing software that leverages AI or data.Solid track record turning user needs into compelling design solutions.2.
