About the role
ABOUT US Guild is the control plane for AI agents - a platform to build, deploy, govern, and share agents in production. As AI moves from experimentation to real systems, we're building the infrastructure layer that makes it safe, observable, and scalable.
THE ROLE We're looking for a Principal Product Designer who's ready to roll up their sleeves and do some of the most interesting design work in AI infrastructure right now. Guild's design team is small, flat, and full-stack - everyone ships, and everyone has real ownership over the quality of what we build. You'll work across product surfaces alongside engineers, researchers, and founders, moving fast from problem to solution without losing sight of craft. Design and product work as one team here - setting priorities together, moving in the same direction. But there's real autonomy in how you get there. You'll be expected to make calls, ship, and learn without needing sign-off at every step. In this role you'll bring an AI-native workflow to everything you touch - using AI to think faster, prototype quicker, and push quality higher. We're building an AI product, and we expect our design practice to reflect that - experimenting with new tools, pushing what's possible, and helping define what AI-native design looks like at a company like Guild. Low ego, high craft. That's
the team you'd be joining.
WHAT YOU'LL DO – Bring a strong, opinionated perspective on how the product should serve our users and where it should go - actively shaping product direction, roadmap priorities, and PMF decisions alongside product and engineering, not just executing on them – Design across the full product experience for two distinct but connected audiences enterprise buyers who need clarity and confidence to adopt, and developers and technical users who demand precision, depth, and tools that respect their workflow – Own problems end-to-end within your product team, from early discovery and problem framing through prototyping, validation, and shipping production-quality solutions – Translate complex AI infrastructure concepts - agents, observability, governance, deployment - into experiences that feel intuitive and trustworthy regardless of the user's technical depth – Contribute to the design system by raising the quality bar on shared components, patterns, and interaction standards - thinking in systems, not one-offs
