At Meta, we are building Personal Superintelligence to empower every individual with greater agency. The RealTime AI team within MSL is seeking a Principal Product Designer to lead the user experience of embodied, AI-powered agents. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of high-end craft and machine learning research. You will be responsible for translating complex AI capabilities into intuitive, high-fidelity human experiences, ensuring our "RealTime" vision is both technically feasible and resonant with users. ## Product Designer – RealTime AI Responsibilities * Drive the Interaction Framework for Embodied AI: Establish and evolve the design patterns for real-time AI. You will define how AI surfaces across mobile, glasses, and future form factors, balancing proactive assistance with user control * Execute Multimodal Design Strategy: Lead the development of scalable interaction systems that integrate voice, vision, and gesture. You will design the feedback loops that make AI feel responsive, low-latency, and contextually aware * Define Behavioral UI: Beyond visual components, you will define the "personality" and pacing of AI interactions. You’ll ensure these agents feel human-centric, reliable, and helpful rather than intrusive * Strategic XFN Partnership: Partner with Product, ML Research, and Engineering to influence model behavior. You will use design as a lens to help the team prioritize data collection and model tuning based on UX needs (e.g., latency vs. accuracy) * Bridge Research and Product: Drive high-velocity prototyping for "zero-to-one" AI features. You will translate raw research (like live world-understanding) into production-ready product visions for the Family of Apps and Reality Labs * Design Leadership & Mentorship: Serve as a pillar of the MSL design community. You will unblock complex design challenges for the team, mentor L5/L6 designers, and raise the collective "quality bar" for AI design within the organization ## Minimum Qualifications * Advanced Craft & Systems Thinking: 8-10+ years of experience in product design or creative direction, with a portfolio showcasing the experience solving complex, systems-level problems * AI/ML Fluency: Demonstrated experience designing for non-deterministic systems. You understand prompting, model constraints, and how to design for "graceful failure" in AI * Strategic Autonomy: Proven track record of navigating extreme ambiguity and driving projects from concept to execution with minimal guidance * Prototyping: Proficiency in Figma and a high degree of experience with AI-assisted coding or prototyping tools (e.g., Cursor, Framer, or similar) to demonstrate motion and interaction * Human-Centric Approach: A history of using research and signals to balance technical capabilities with human wellbeing and user agency ## Preferred Qualifications * Conversational UX Experience: Specific experience building digital assistants, chatbots, or virtual beings * Cross-Pillar Impact: Experience driving design standards or initiatives that have been adopted across multiple product teams or organizations * High-Velocity Shipping: Experience operating in "startup-style" environments within larger companies, shipping quickly under technical constraints * Persuasive Communication: Experience representing design at the leadership level (VP/Director), articulating the "why" behind complex design bets ## About Meta Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
