* Lead design's transition to an AI-accelerated way of working and help to decide how designers use AI in their daily practice, in line with the company's overall direction.

* Own design craft, quality standards, and the coherence of the experience across all MapTiler products and services.

* Own the design roadmap, which runs in parallel to the product and marketing roadmaps.

What we expect from you

* At least 8 years of experience in UX, UI, or product design, including 3+ years in a design leadership role.

* Experience building and leading a design team, including hiring, performance management, and career development.

* Strong design craft, shown by a portfolio or a case study of projects you led, and the ability to set and defend quality standards.

* Hands-on experience using AI tools in design work, and a well-argued view of where they help and where they do not.

* Ability to align with or lead Developer Experience (DX), ensuring B2B / B2D products work effectively for both human users and AI agents.

* The ability to explain design decisions with concrete arguments based on qualitative and quantitative user research.

* The ability to influence and negotiate at the executive level.

* An understanding that good design serves a deeper purpose than looking good.

* A strong drive for self-improvement, learning, sharing knowledge, and trying new approaches.
