Caspian One UX Designer - AI Native / Fairfax, VA, USA Feb 17, 2026

Contract: 12‑Month Contract (Possible Extensions) We are seeking an experienced AI‑native UX Designer to lead the design of next‑generation AI interfaces and workflows. This is a specialist role focused on designing for agentic systems, human‑in‑the‑loop validation, and AI‑driven decisioning, not traditional digital UI work. You will be embedded with product, BSA, DS/ML, engineering, and risk teams to deliver intuitive, safe, and explainable AI experiences across multiple high‑impact initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

Design interfaces that support confidence indicators, citations, validation loops, and human‑in‑the‑loop workflows.

Translate complex, multi‑step AI workflows into simple, intuitive user experiences.

Create end‑to‑end UX deliverables including flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and design specifications.

Craft prompts, disclosures, error handling, and guardrail or safety states to build user trust and clarity.

Conduct research around trust calibration, explainability, mental models, and error recovery.

Run usability tests and heuristic reviews to convert insights into iterative design improvements.

Build interactive prototypes simulating LLM behaviors for concept testing.

Partner with product and analytics to define experiments, success metrics, and usability benchmarks.

Embed explainability features, confidence signals, review steps, accessibility, privacy compliance, and safety patterns throughout all workflows.

Work closely with PMs, BSAs, DS/ML engineers, and risk teams to ensure feasibility, performance, and responsible AI implementation.

Present work to senior stakeholders and document rationale, decisions, and acceptance criteria.

Contribute to an AI‑specific design system including components such as chat patterns, citations, agent controls, prompts, and feedback widgets.

Produce usage guidelines and scalable content standards.

Requirements

Proven experience designing AI‑native, AI‑driven UX (not standard digital or web UX).

Ability to showcase a strong portfolio with AI‑specific case studies and artifacts.

Strong understanding of:

Human‑in‑the‑loop patterns

Confidence scoring

Validations and feedback loops

Citation display

User intent patterns in agentic systems

Projects You’ll Work On

Smart libraries or RAG interfaces

Expert system flows (upload → extract → generate)
