Product Designer, Generative Media (Staff-Level / L6)

Job summary

Responsibilities

We're looking for a Staff (L6) Product Designer to lead design for Synthesia's AI Playground: our dedicated generative-media workspace where users experiment with leading AI models to create video clips, images, and motion graphics, then feed those assets into Synthesia Studio videos.

• Designing prompt experiences and iteration workflows that make complex AI capabilities feel accessible and powerful - giving users meaningful agency without overwhelming them.
• Balancing discovery across multiple media formats so none feels buried, while scaling for Templates, Apps, and future workflows.
• Designing the invisible handoff between Playground creation and Studio editing - so experiments flow naturally into polished videos.
• Working at the frontier of how generative media changes what "creation" means, where the best patterns are genuinely still being invented.
• Own Playground's evolution end-to-end: from single-format surface to scalable multi-format creation hub.

What they're looking for

• Significant experience designing creation tools or generative-media platforms where users explore, iterate, and refine outputs quickly.
• Strong craft in interaction and visual design. A track record of shipping delightful experiences around complex workflows.
• Deep comfort designing around AI model constraints. You design UX that works with constraints, not around them.
• Systems thinking. You can hold the tension between Playground as a destination and as an on-ramp to Studio.
• Experience designing multi-format products. You know how to give equal weight to different experiences and scale beyond an initial, focused surface.
