In this role, you will translate Copado’s AI, Org Intelligence, and AgentOps capabilities into intuitive, guided experiences that drive adoption, velocity, and customer success for mid-market teams.
You will collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and our Experience Architect to design seamless, consistent journeys across Plan → Build → Test → Release. This is a high-impact role shaping the foundation of Copado’s AI-native DevOps platform.

Design Strategy Alignment: Translate product strategy into coherent, intuitive design direction that supports Copado’s broader AI-native vision.
Complex Workflow Simplification: Turn branching, dependent, dynamic DevOps workflows into simple, predictable, user-friendly journeys.
Reusable Patterns & Components: Work with the Experience Architect to evolve a unified design system and standard interaction patterns across all modules.
Quality & Speed: Deliver new flows within two weeks on average, ensuring design reviews are efficient and frictionless.
Implementation Metrics: Drive ≥80% engineering implementation fidelity on first pass and reduce design ambiguity as a blocker.
Continuous Iteration: Run 2–3 user validation cycles per month, using behavioral data, funnel metrics, and UX telemetry to refine designs.
Usability Improvement: Drive measurable improvements to onboarding speed, workflow completion rates, and usability task success (85% at launch).
Lifecycle Ownership: Support feature development from concept → prototypes → acceptance criteria → launch → post-release refinement.
Quality Bar Setting: Partner with design leadership to uphold best practices in IA, interaction design, and accessibility.
Experience Architecture Partnership: Align early and often with the Experience Architect to reduce fragmentation and redesign churn.
Cross-Functional Enablement: Provide clear rationale, documentation, and guidance during grooming, sprint planning, and QA.
Engineering Partnership: Work closely with developers during handoff, refinement, and testing to ensure accurate implementation.
Data & Insights Alignment: Incorporate analytics, funnels, and user telemetry into design decisions.
Internal Advocacy: Communicate design decisions, progress, and insights to cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, PM, architecture, leadership).
Qualifications
Customer Obsession: Designs directly for user outcomes; validates early and often.
Strategic Thinking: Connects design decisions to product vision and business impact.
Systems & Component Thinking: Designs for scale, consistency, and reusability.
Collaboration: Works seamlessly with PM, engineering, data, and design peers.
