Applied AI Product Designer

We are looking for an Applied AI Product Designer with 5-12 years of experience to define the next generation of Citizen's consumer mobile experience as the company rebuilds itself as an AI-native platform. You'll be the senior product designer reporting directly to the Founder and CEO, owning every screen millions of users touch — from onboarding and the map to live video, alerts, and Premium. This is a rare opportunity to invent what safety looks like on a phone when AI agents are watching the city for you. You'll bring exceptional taste, discernment, and high agency to ship category-defining work at speed, while building the design operations and agent-powered workflows that let a small team punch far above its weight.

What will you be doing?

• Own the end-to-end consumer mobile experience (iOS first, Android close behind) — every flow from onboarding to live incident video — shipping high-fidelity prototypes on-device the same day, not the following week
• Design category-defining, AI-native experiences that don't exist yet: ambient notifications that show you the scene, a safety app that talks back, and interfaces that work when the phone is in your pocket
• Build and maintain Citizen's design system — type, color, motion, sound, iconography — cinematic and restrained, engineered so AI agents can produce from it reliably
• Stand up and run AI-agent-powered design operations: automated asset generation, rapid variant exploration, and prototype pipelines that replace manual production work
• Partner daily with the CEO on product direction and tightly with iOS/Android engineering, Marketing, and Real-Time Operations to ship and launch at pace
