Product Designer Specialist – AI Training

Job Description

Micro1 is hiring experienced Product Designers for a project focused on design reasoning and high-quality written analysis that will help train next-generation AI systems.

Unlike a traditional product design role, this position is primarily focused on explaining and evaluating design decisions rather than producing visual deliverables. You’ll use your product design experience to analyze trade-offs, document design rationale, critique solutions, and clearly communicate the reasoning behind product decisions.

No previous AI experience is required.

What You’ll Do

• Write structured analyses explaining product design decisions, rationale, and potential user impact.
• Evaluate product and design information while identifying trade-offs, constraints, and relevant business considerations.
• Draft and refine design documentation, specifications, critiques, and case studies.
• Translate complex design concepts and frameworks into clear, accessible language.
• Compare different design solutions and explain their advantages, limitations, and implications.
• Apply design strategy and product thinking to ambiguous or evolving scenarios.
• Collaborate asynchronously with project stakeholders to clarify requirements and align on deliverables.
• Provide expert design reasoning that contributes to the training and improvement of AI systems.

Requirements

• 3+ years of end-to-end product design experience, ideally across web or mobile products.
• Strong knowledge of product design and design strategy.
• Experience with prototyping tools, particularly Figma.
• Ability to clearly articulate the reasoning behind design decisions.
• Experience creating design documentation, specifications, critiques, or detailed case studies.
• Excellent analytical writing and critical-thinking skills.
• Ability to assess design trade-offs in ambiguous situations.
• Professional-level written English.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience communicating design concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Strong background in structured design documentation and analytical writing.
• Experience working with highly regarded organizations or a strong academic background is considered an advantage.
