AI Product Designer — Interface & Experience
Summary
Founding design-engineering role on ISMG's AI & Innovation team in New York: own front-end and interaction design for AI-native intelligence products (analytics reports, an AI-generated cybersecurity newscast, a sourced Q&A system), prototyping with Claude and shipping production UI in Next.js/React/TypeScript while building the team's first design system and deploying via Azure.
ISMG is a global intelligence firm and media powerhouse, leading the way in cybersecurity, enterprise IT, and digital transformation. With 10+ brands, 38 digital media properties, and over 400 premier events annually—ISMG connects a network of over 2M executives, decision-makers, and innovators with the insights and opportunities they need to stay ahead.
Apollo is the proprietary creation of ISMG's AI & Innovation team. It's an internal hub of AI-powered applications and workflows, custom-built for our various business units (Editorial, Marketing, Events, Sales, HR, etc.). It streamlines operations with intelligent automation and data-driven insights, and transforms how teams access critical cybersecurity insights by exclusively leveraging ISMG-verified sources—so teams move faster with confidence.
The Opportunity
ISMG is building a portfolio of AI-native intelligence products — audience analytics reporting, an AI-generated daily cybersecurity newscast, and a sourced Q&A system built on our conference archive. Every one of them is currently limited by the same thing: the interface.
We have the pipelines, the data warehouse, and the models. What we do not have is anyone who owns what a CISO actually sees. As our AI Product Designer , you would be that person.
This is a founding design-engineering role on a small team, with unusual latitude and unusual visibility. What you ship goes in front of security executives, ISMG’s editorial organization, and enterprise clients.
What You’ll Do
- Own the front-end and interaction design for the team’s AI products end to end — from stakeholder conversation to deployed application.
- Conduct lightweight user research, prototype workflows, and validate designs with clients and internal users before and after release.
- Translate complex AI and reporting workflows into clear information architecture and task-oriented experiences.
- Solve the interaction problems specific to AI output: how confidence is communicated, how citations surface, how a reviewer approves or rejects a machine-generated draft, and how uncertainty reads without eroding trust.
- Build quickly with AI-assisted development tooling, then rehome that output into ISMG’s Azure environment — Microsoft Entra ID authentication, App Service or Static Web Apps, and Azure DevOps pipelines.
- Establish the design system this team does not currently have: components, states, data visualization patterns, and an accessibility baseline.
- Build and maintain Figma libraries, design tokens, and a practical design-to-code handoff process.
- Design for enterprise realities: role-based access, dense data, audit trails, exports, responsive behavior, and accessible interaction patterns.
- Instrument everything through Application Insights and bring adoption and usage data back into the roadmap.
-
Partner directly with the AI Innovation Manager on API contracts and data access, and with business units across editorial, marketing, and sales on what they actually need.
- 3 to 5 years of experience in enterprise front-end / UI/UX product development and design.
- Strong understanding of user flows, interaction patterns, responsive UX, and intuitive interface design.
- Experience with user-centered product discovery and demonstrated design judgment, able to synthesize user feedback and make evidence-based UX decisions around refinements.
- Advanced proficiency in Next.js, React, TypeScript, modern CSS, and semantic HTML.
- Strong knowledge of enterprise UX fundamentals: accessibility & performance, responsive behavior, role-based access, dense data / visualization.
- Experience using Claude for prototyping and Claude Code with VS Code/Cursor to turn UI/UX requirements into production-ready frontend code.
- Advanced design-system capability and expertise in Tailwind CSS, design tokens, themes, and dark mode.
- Experience with cross-platform mobile/tablet design, implementing solutions for compatibility and optimal UI/UX across various handheld devices.
- Strong knowledge of WCAG, ARIA, and Core Web Vitals.
- Exceptional attention to detail with a strong eye for spacing, typography, motion, responsiveness, and visual issues AI-generated code may miss.
-
Experience with GitHub/Bitbucket code repositories and CI/CD workflows for team collaboration and deployments.
- Join a high-growth, global intelligence organization with clear momentum and market leadership in the cybersecurity space.
- Combine hands-on AI systems work with clear storytelling that drives adoption—turning insights into measurable business results.
-
Thrive in a collaborative environment with a team that values excellence and offers continuous learning and professional development opportunity.
