Senior User Experience Designer

Build, Deploy, and Maintain AI for an Unpredictable World

Striveworks helps organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence to solve real‑world national security and business challenges by serving as the command center between data, models, and business outcomes. Founded by data scientists and engineers, Striveworks set out to make the journey from deployment to ongoing optimization simple and effective.

With Striveworks, organizations aren’t just deploying AI—they’re building systems that remain reliable, adaptable, and ready to scale in an unpredictable world. Mission‑critical operations require models that perform where they’re deployed, scale as workloads grow, and adapt rapidly as AI capabilities advance. Striveworks meets these demands, increasing reliability and performance while lowering costs—and enabling confident, data‑driven decision‑making in dynamic environments.

As a Senior User Experience (UX) Designer at Striveworks, you’ll be challenged—and trusted—on day one to be a core contributor to the direction of the company.

You’re right for this opportunity if you enjoy driving the evolution of our user experience across platform and products. You will work closely with our product management, engineering, and data science teams to design and implement user‑centered solutions that make sophisticated machine learning workflows intuitive and productive for the experts who depend on them.

Your day‑to‑day will include:

• Collaborating cross‑functionally with product management, engineering, and data science teams to understand user needs, define user flows, and communicate design decisions that shape product strategy
• Conducting user interviews, usability testing, and feedback analysis to drive rapid, iterative design improvements that identify pain points and validate assumptions
• Developing wireframes, prototypes, and high‑fidelity designs in Figma; synthesizing market research and product strategy to deliver seamless end‑to‑end user experiences
• Owning and evolving the design system as a shared language across product, design, and engineering—enabling faster and more consistent collaboration throughout the product development life cycle
• Driving the integration of AI‑assisted design workflows into how the team works, and nurturing a user‑centric culture that values experimentation and continuous improvement

This position offers a fully remote work environment, or you can work hybrid/on site at our office in northwest Austin, TX.

In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust.

Collectively, we value a high‑trust work environment where people respect each other and use candor kindly and constructively. We value work that intersects passion and perseverance, we geek out about the potential of our contributions, and we find joy in working hard on things that matter. Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in UX design, HCI, or related field and 6+ years of relevant experience
• Portfolio that demonstrates not just craft but systems thinking and strategic impact—showing how your work shaped product direction, not just product appearance
• Deep proficiency with Figma
• Demonstrated ability to drive alignment across product, engineering, and design teams without direct authority
• Eager to work at the frontier of AI‑assisted design—experimenting with and helping to evolve how agentic tools shape the way products are designed and built
• Proactive, self‑directed, and energized by ambiguity—someone who moves toward open problems rather than waiting for them to be defined
• Motivated by work that matters—Striveworks serves organizations where the quality of decisions has real consequences
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must be a US person (a US citizen, a US national, or a Green Card holder)

We’re very interested in candidates who possess the above qualifications, and we appreciate and consider the addition…
