Job Description

All of Block's product services are organized into business units with their own product and engineering teams. Underneath, there's a connected platform team that supports the company. We are that platform. Within the platform, our team’s focus is on using AI to accelerate productivity across the company, automating routine tasks like knowledge retrieval and code migrations. Our team works across Block’s business units to deliver the most impactful tools to developers, and oftentimes working with teams to understand specific needs, and then generalizing those across Block.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced UX Developer to lead the use of AI in improving developer experience and operational efficiency. This important role involves collaborating with AI/ML engineers, product managers, and cross-functional team members to identify and maximize opportunities where AI can improve they way we work. As the bridge between technical teams and partners, you will design new user interfaces and enhancing existing ones, leading the development of AI-driven tools and features from initial concept through to successful launch. You will oversee the end-to-end design process, which includes project management, research proposals, one-pagers, information architecture, mid-fi flows, hi-fi screens, interactive prototypes, detailed UI specs for engineering handoff, and user testing.

You’ll report to the Lead Product Manager for Applied AI and work with the engineering team to ensure tight collaboration, allowing rapid development and experimentation of AI solutions, and integrating AI capabilities into internal processes to scale successful features across the organization.
