Details

The same principles built into our products are reflected in how our team works: we embrace AI as a core productivity multiplier, with all team members expected to incorporate AI into their daily workflows to drive efficiency, innovation, and impact.

An Overview of This Role

You'll be at the forefront of shaping the future of AI-powered developer tools at GitLab. As a Senior Product Designer on the AI Product Design team, you'll help build the next generation of intelligent software development experiences, bringing rigorous design craft to some of the hardest interaction problems in the industry. You'll own the design process end-to-end: from ambiguous early exploration through to polished, shipped experiences. You'll design intuitive interfaces for AI agents, create seamless chat experiences for developers, and establish design patterns that make advanced AI capabilities feel natural and accessible, iterating continuously as the product and technology evolve together.

Example projects include:

• Duo Workflow (AI agents across the SDLC)
• Duo Chat (AI-powered DevSecOps assistant)
• AI-powered code suggestions and review tools

Responsibilities

• Own the design process – drive end-to-end design across GitLab's AI suite, from early exploration to polished execution. Create flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs. Know when AI is the right solution versus a traditional approach.
• Ship and iterate – break complex AI experiences into releases that fit GitLab's cadence without sacrificing quality. Define success criteria upfront, use evidence to drive decisions, and work closely with PM, Engineering, and Technical Writing to deliver.
• Set the craft bar – establish quality standards through strong visual and interaction design, and provide constructive feedback that raises the level of work around you.
• Define strategic direction – bring validated user evidence and a strong point of view to roadmap discussions. Use journey maps, storyboards, and design explorations to connect day-to-day work to longer-term vision.
• Enable the broader team – help other designers understand and apply AI capabilities effectively. Contribute AI-specific patterns to the Pajamas Design System and share knowledge across GitLab.
• Mentor and grow – guide other designers, participate in hiring, interview candidates, evaluate portfolios, and share expertise generously.

Requirements / Qualifications

• A strong portfolio that shows how you think and iterate (not just what shipped), ideally including AI/ML products, agentic workflows, or natural language interfaces where user control, transparency, and trust were key considerations.
• Experience designing for AI workflows, including multi-step, agentic, or automated processes.
• A high bar for craft in interaction and visual design, with the ability to raise standards in others.
• Experience conducting research and translating findings into clear, well-reasoned design decisions.
• Proven ability to work iteratively in agile product development, balancing speed with quality and making smart tradeoffs while maintaining longer-term vision.
• Experience designing in complex enterprise contexts, with working knowledge of Git, HTML/CSS, accessibility best practices, and design systems.
• Excellent communication skills: ability to simplify complexity, articulate design rationale, and bring people along through your process.

About the Team

The AI Product Design team is part of GitLab's broader UX organization, focused on creating exceptional experiences for AI-powered features across the DevSecOps platform.
