Staff Outcome Designer in New York at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Outcome Designer based in the United States.

This is a high-impact design systems and technology leadership role focused on scaling how design work gets created, evaluated, shipped, and improved. You will build the systems and infrastructure that enable Product Designers and Design Engineers to work with greater speed, consistency, and leverage. The role combines agentic AI, design systems, automation, production infrastructure, and exploratory product design. You will establish new ways of working where automation handles repeatable processes while human judgment remains focused on the decisions that matter most. You will also lead ambitious projects exploring the future of agentic customer experiences and emerging technologies. Working across traditional design and engineering boundaries, you will operate with significant autonomy and help define the playbook for a new discipline.

• Architect and build an agentic design system platform, including reusable components, patterns, documentation, utilities, MCPs, plugins, and agent skills that Product Designers and Design Engineers can leverage.
• Develop automated intake and evaluation systems that triage design requests and contributions while checking work against established standards and governance requirements.
• Build release QA automation to identify quality, consistency, and design-system issues before they reach production.
• Create production telemetry and feedback loops that measure how shipped design work performs and feed insights back into the design platform and development process.
• Establish thoughtful governance by determining where human review and decision-making are essential and where automation can reliably take ownership.
• Lead moonshot initiatives exploring the future of agentic customer experiences, researching emerging technologies and turning promising concepts into real products and experiences.
• Work across design, product, and engineering disciplines, assembling the right teams and expertise for exploratory projects without relying on fixed organizational boundaries.
• Build and maintain reliable systems within cloud and deployment environments, including Docker, Kubernetes/EKS on AWS, and GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines.
• Partner with design leadership and contribute platform-informed perspectives to strategic initiatives, team reviews, and the broader design roadmap.
• Establish measurable systems and processes that increase design velocity, reduce manual effort, improve quality, and generate actionable production insights.

• Deep, hands-on experience building and scaling agentic design systems, including automated documentation, design/code source-of-truth synchronization, governance, visual auditing, automated reviews, plugins, MCPs, and agent skills.
• Proven experience developing production or release infrastructure such as automated pipelines, intake and evaluation workflows, QA automation, telemetry, or comparable systems.
• Strong familiarity with deployment technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes/EKS on AWS, and GitHub CI/CD, or equivalent production infrastructure.
• Demonstrated judgment around the appropriate balance between automation and human oversight, with the ability to explain and defend those decisions through concrete examples.
• A track record of leading ambiguous, cross-functional, exploratory, or moonshot initiatives and turning early-stage concepts into practical, shipped outcomes.
• Ability to operate effectively as the first or only person in a function, creating systems, processes, standards, and a playbook from the ground up.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to connect design tooling, infrastructure, governance, production data, and user outcomes into a cohesive operating model.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence Product Designers, Design Engineers, engineering partners, and leadership.
• Preferred: active participation in the design systems community through writing, speaking, open source contributions, or similar work.
• Preferred: experience with knowledge graphs, vector stores, semantic infrastructure, or technologies supporting agent context and memory.
• Preferred: familiarity with evaluation and validation frameworks for agentic outputs and emerging AI workflows.
• Preferred: exposure to emerging agentic technologies, particularly within private-sector or defense environments, and an appetite for experimenting with unproven approaches.

The original posting does not specify a detailed benefits package or compensation range. Candidates can expect:

• A highly autonomous, high-agency role with significant ownership over a new and evolving area of design technology.
• The opportunity to build foundational systems that can materially increase the speed, quality, and scalability of an entire design organization.
• Exposure to cutting-edge agentic AI, automation, design systems, cloud infrastructure, and emerging customer experiences.
• The opportunity to lead ambitious cross-functional and moonshot initiatives without rigid role boundaries.
• A distributed working environment with collaboration across design, engineering, product, and operational teams.
• The opportunity to define new standards, processes, and best practices rather than inherit an established playbook.
