Head of Experience Systems & AI

Systemic Vision & Roadmap: Own the strategic direction, governance models, and technical roadmap for the Experience Systems & AI team.

Set the UI Execution Bar: Serve as the final voice on UI quality across Malt. Define clear standards for layout, motion, responsiveness, and token architecture to ensure production code flawlessly matches design intent.

Semantic Systems & Content Design: Oversee the taxonomy, content logic, and tone rules within our system, guiding AI models to generate copy that is contextually accurate and distinctively "Malt".

People Coaching & Mentorship: Manage and coach a senior tier of specialists, including a Senior Product Designer (Systems & Craft) and a Content Designer (Semantic Systems). Help them build highly scalable, high-logic design foundations.

Automate Code Workflows: Identify and fix friction between design assets and engineering deployments, building out streamlined code generation and asset extraction processes.

Automated Quality Governance: Implement automated visual testing checks directly into our integration pipelines to catch visual regressions, token discrepancies, and accessibility bugs early.

Dynamic UI Innovation: Partner with systems engineers to experiment with context-aware, adaptive UI components that adjust to real-time user goals.

Systems Architect Mindset: You look beyond individual screens; you enjoy designing the underlying rules, programmatic logic, and variable frameworks that power them.

Applied AI Literacy: You understand how Large Language Models handle structured data, interact with data schemas, and how to structure context to support predictable UI layouts.

Strategic Craft Bar: You have a premium, uncompromising eye for UI detail and the ability to codify brand DNA and high-fidelity polish into technical systems.

Scale & Efficiency Oriented: You are driven by scale and engineering leverage, finding satisfaction in automating repetitive design steps out of the product lifecycle.

Background: This is a highly cross-functional leadership role. You bring a solid track record leading small engineering-adjacent squads or design systems teams, with deep experience in design token architecture, systems management, or design engineering. 

Language: Fluency in English is required.
