Job Description
Microsoft Superintelligence team's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. This role is part of Microsoft AI's Superintelligence Team. The MAIST is a startup-like team inside Microsoft AI, created to push the boundaries of AI toward Humanist Superintelligence — ultra-capable systems that remain controllable, safety-aligned, and anchored to human values. Our mission is to create AI that amplifies human potential while ensuring humanity remains firmly in control. We aim to deliver breakthroughs that benefit society — advancing science, education, and global well-being. We are looking for a designer who builds. You'll own the end-to-end user experience for our most visible AI product surfaces — MM Labs, Playground, marketing pages, and model specification tools — taking concepts from rough sketch to polished, shipped product. This is not a role where you hand off mockups and wait. You will use AI-native tools and agentic coding workflows to move from Figma to working prototypes to production-quality frontend, compressing the traditional design-to-engineering handoff into a single, fast loop. You come from a design background — you have strong graphic design instincts, a refined sense of aesthetic taste, and deep experience in interaction design. But you've also embraced the AI-native workflow revolution: you use tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, v0, or similar agentic coding assistants to prototype, iterate, and ship UI at a pace that would have been impossible two years ago. You're not a frontend engineer who picked up design — you're a designer who has dramatically expanded what you can deliver by leveraging AI. This is a small team that prizes ownership and craft. You will ship your own work, regularly. Your designs will be used by researchers, engineers, and external users interacting with frontier AI models. The bar for quality is extremely high, and the pace is fast.
