Product Designer II

The opportunity 

We're looking for a passionate designer to join the Adobe Express Design team to help shape a new generative experience within Adobe Express. You'll design the moments where generative AI and hands-on editing meet: prompting, output variations and generation, content and image editing, and the guardrails that keep results on-brand and trustworthy. 

Adobe Express is on a mission to help business owners, social marketers, communicators, and side hustlers create standout content in minutes. Our design team is passionate about delivering a fast, easy, and fun creative experience that empowers users to bring their ideas to life beautifully and effortlessly.

What you will do 

• Design intuitive, end-to-end creative experiences, from initial input through generation to hands-on editing, that help users create standout content in minutes. Sweat the details on generation states like loading, conversation, variations, and regeneration. 

• Partner with other designers, product managers, researchers, and engineers, including the teams building the underlying generative models, to shape features and roadmap grounded in research and data. 

• Define patterns and frameworks for prompting, generation, and editing controls that scale across templates, content types, and surfaces, while navigating the ambiguity that comes with fast-evolving generative AI capabilities. Coordinate multiple projects to completion and champion UX best practices. 

• Bring strong UX/UI craft and a clear design point of view to set the principles for this experience, apply them consistently, and define the guardrails that keep generated output on-brand and trustworthy. 

• Test results from early-stage prototypes, capture insights on quality, trust, and control in the output, and fold findings into fast iterations. 

What you need to succeed 

Must-haves:

• Degree or equivalent experience in a design-related field with a strong design foundation. 2-4 years of relevant product/domain design experience. 

• Ability to handle open-ended and ambiguous design problems, and to work through them with guidance from a design lead. 

• The ability to present design decisions and the reasoning behind them clearly, confidently, and professionally to your team and cross-functional partners. 

• Proficiency with prototyping with AI tools like Cursor, Claude, etc., and the ability to produce experience workflows and high-fidelity prototypes to communicate and test ideas. 

• Proficiency in Figma or similar tools, and familiarity with design systems. 

• Openness to feedback and comfort working in a fast, iterative design process. 

• Curiosity about generative AI and prompt-driven design — an interest in shaping what AI-assisted creation should feel like. 

Nice-to-haves:

• Familiarity with content or layout generation tools. 

• Interest in interaction and motion design, especially for AI states like generation, loading, and variation selection. 

• Experience working with global teams across different time zones. 

• A desire to go beyond pixels: curiosity and breadth as a creative individual. 

• Proficient at using AI tools in day to day work, and passionate about learning about AI frontier models. 

• Knowledge of HTML CSS is a plus. 

How to apply 

To be considered for this role, please submit a resume and portfolio. In your portfolio, please include examples of work that demonstrate your ability to design end-to-end product experiences, ideally including any AI-assisted or generative workflows.
