You’ll find belonging, purpose, and a team that welcomes you-because when you feel valued, you’re empowered to do your best work.Job Summary\nDesigns, builds and improves the user and builder experience of Equinix’s AI products and platforms, including conversational AI, agents and agent-building tools. Combines interaction design with engineering: prototypes working interfaces and conversation flows, tests them with real users and builders, and ships the results into production. Makes AI behavior understandable and controllable: clear responses, visible sources, graceful failure, human escalation and easy feedback. Measures experience quality with data and converts findings into product and engineering changes. Works in a team with senior engineers, designers and product managers, and with platform, security and business partners.\nKnowledge and Application\nApplies solid knowledge of human-AI interaction principles, conversation design and front-end engineering, plus working knowledge of LLM and agent concepts (prompting, retrieval, tool calling, orchestration). Understands usability research methods, accessibility standards (WCAG) and experience metrics. Understands what builders need from agent and platform tooling: clear APIs, documentation, debugging and observability. Follows established design and engineering standards and suggests improvements.\nComplexity and Problem Solving\nWorks on problems of defined scope where analysis requires evaluation of identifiable factors. Diagnoses why users or builders struggle (unclear responses, wrong expectations, missing controls, poor tooling) using usage data, session traces and feedback, and applies existing patterns to fix it. Judges whether a metric reflects real experience quality. Escalates unusual or high-impact issues. Work is reviewed at defined checkpoints.\nCollaboration and Interaction\nWorks with AI engineers, product managers, designers, researchers, platform and security teams. Explains usability findings and design tradeoffs to partners who are not familiar with the subject. Gathers input from end users and builders, and shares knowledge with the team.\nResponsibilities\nExperience engineering\nBuild interactive prototypes and production interface components for AI products: chat and voice flows, agent workspaces, builder consoles and admin tools\nDesign and implement conversation flows and response patterns: tone, structure, clarifying questions, source citations, confidence cues, error handling, and handoff to a person\nImplement controls that keep users in charge: review and edit before action, confirmation for high-impact steps, undo, and clear scope of what the AI can do\nCapture feedback inside the product (ratings, edits, dismissals) and route it to the teams that act on it\nContribute to a shared component library and design system for AI interfaces\nWrite unit and end-to-end tests for interface components\nBuilder and developer experience\nImprove the experience of people who build on the platform: onboarding, documentation, templates, SDKs, and tools for testing and debugging agents\nReduce time to first working agent, and track where builders get stuck\nResearch and measurement\nPlan and run usability tests, interviews and session reviews with users and builders\nDefine and track experience metrics: task completion, time to complete, adoption, retention, escalation rate, satisfaction, and builder time to first use\nWork with evaluation engineers to add experience criteria (clarity, helpfulness, appropriate tone) to evaluation rubrics and acceptance tests\nTurn findings into prioritized recommendations and backlog items\nQuality and responsible practice\nApply accessibility, localization and inclusive design requirements\nWork with InfoSec and Legal on disclosure, consent, data-handling notices and AI-generated-content labeling\nCheck that interface behavior matches model and policy behavior (what the AI says it can do, versus what it can do)\nQualifications\nRequired\n1-4 years in front-end, full-stack, design engineering, UX engineering or AI/ML engineering\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, human-computer interaction, design, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience\nProficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript and a modern front-end framework (e.g., React), and working Python for prototyping with models and APIs\nPortfolio or work samples showing shipped or prototyped interfaces, including at least one that uses LLMs or conversational interaction\nWorking knowledge of LLM applications (prompting, retrieval, agents) and of how model behavior affects the user experience\nFamiliarity with usability testing methods and accessibility standards\nAbility to read usage data and write basic SQL\nClear written and verbal communication, including with non-technical partners\nNice to have\nExperience designing for conversational AI, voice interfaces or agent-builder tools\nExperience with design tools (e.g., Figma) and design systems\nExperience with product analytics, A/B testing or session-replay tools\nExperience with LLM evaluation or observability tools\nExperience building developer tools, SDKs or documentation\nFamiliarity with responsible-AI guidelines for human-AI interaction\nMS in a related field\nWhat success looks like\nUsers complete target tasks with AI products faster and with fewer escalations, tracked on a shared metric set\nBuilders get a first working agent faster, with fewer support requests\nEvery AI product has defined experience criteria that are tested before release\nUser feedback reaches the backlog and becomes shipped changes\nThe engineer takes on larger, less defined work each quarter with decreasing guidance\nThe targeted pay range for this position in the following location is / locations are:\nUnited States - Dallas Infomart Office DAI : 138,000 - 208,000 USD / Annual\nCanada - Toronto Office TRO : 102,000 - 152,000 CAD / Annual\nOur pay ranges reflect the minimum and maximum target for new hire pay for the full-time position determined by role, level, and location.The pay range shown is based on our compensation structure in place at the time of posting and may be updated periodically based on business needs.
