Senior Product Designer

Our Purpose

At Fiddler, we understand the implications of AI and the impact that it has on human lives. Our company was born with the mission of building trust into AI. The rise of Generative AI and Agents has unlocked generalized intelligence but also widened the risk aperture and made it harder to ensure that AI applications are working well. Fiddler enables organizations to get ahead of these issues by helping deploy trustworthy, and transparent AI solutions. 

Fiddler partners with AI-first organizations to help build a long-term framework for responsible AI practices, which, in turn, builds trust with their user base. AI Engineers, Data Science, and business teams use Fiddler AI to monitor, evaluate, secure, analyze, and improve their AI solutions to drive better outcomes. Our platform enables engineering teams and business stakeholders alike to understand the "what", “why”, and "how" behind AI outcomes.  

Our Founders

Fiddler AI is founded by Krishna Gade (engineering leader at Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Microsoft) and Amit Paka (product leader at Microsoft, Samsung, Paypal and two-time founder). We are backed by Insight Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Lux Capital.

• Conduct user research and discovery to understand how technical teams evaluate, monitor, and govern AI in production

• Maintain and evolve the design system, authoring reusable components and interaction patterns that scale across the product

• Translate technically complex capabilities into world-class experiences
  

🎯 What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in product design, UX design, or interaction design with a focus on complex technical products

• Online portfolio showcasing data-dense interfaces, monitoring dashboards, observability tools, analytics platforms, or similar

• Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate design work from discovery to production

• Experience designing for AI/ML products, data platforms, or enterprise software for technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup where design scope is broad and ambiguity is the norm

• Experience designing developer tools, DevOps platforms, or complex products for technical audiences

• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts including LLMs, generative AI, predictive models, and agentic systems, you don't need to be an engineer, but curiosity here goes a long way
