The Opportunity

At Superhuman, we’re building the next generation of productivity—one where AI works alongside people as an active collaborator, not just a passive tool. Last year, Superhuman acquired Coda, bringing together flexible docs, powerful building blocks, and advanced AI to create a platform designed for how work will happen next.

In this role, you will help define an AI first, agentic future for Coda, shaping core experiences inside the product. You will design how intelligent agents show up inside Coda, how they assist, suggest, act, and learn, while keeping humans firmly in control. Your work will focus on making complex capabilities feel simple, intuitive, and trustworthy through thoughtful interaction design and strong product instincts.

This is a senior role for a designer who thinks in systems, thrives in ambiguity, and has strong instincts for how AI can meaningfully augment human productivity. You will help transform Coda from a powerful doc into a living workspace where agents help users plan, reason, synthesize, and execute, without sacrificing usability, trust, or craft. You will partner closely with product managers, engineers, and researchers to invent new interaction models, ship production ready AI experiences, and raise the bar for what an AI native productivity product can be.

In this role, you will:

Design agentic document experiences: Design how AI agents operate inside Coda—when they act proactively, when they ask for guidance, and how users understand and direct their behavior.
Make complex systems feel understandable: Translate complex AI behaviors—reasoning, memory, automation, and context—into intuitive mental models and workflows.
Set the bar for senior-level craft: Own end-to-end design quality, from interaction concepts and system design to highly polished, consumer-grade execution.
Invent new interaction patterns: Explore paradigms beyond traditional text editing—agent prompts, inline suggestions, background actions, and multi-step workflows.
Prototype, test, and iterate rapidly: Use prototypes to explore, validate assumptions, and learn what truly helps users think and work better.
Influence product strategy: Partner deeply with PMs and engineers to shape product direction, tradeoffs, and sequencing in a fast-evolving landscape.
Be part of a supportive team: Work alongside a collaborative group of designers who give thoughtful feedback, share ideas openly, and help each other grow.

Qualifications

3+ years of product design experience, with demonstrated impact on complex, system-driven products.
Proven ability to design clear, scalable, and delightful user experiences that simplify complex workflows.
Experience or deep curiosity around AI-powered and agentic products, including designing for trust, explainability, and user control.
Portfolio showing senior-level problem framing, interaction design, and high-quality execution.
Comfortable working end-to-end—from early discovery and wireframes to high-fidelity designs and prototypes.
Self-starter who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys collaboration and iteration.
Based in San Francisco with occasional travel for team off-sites and collaboration.
