What this job asks for AI summary
A senior product design role focused on building AI-driven features within Zoom's agentic assistant product, ZoomMate. The work spans interaction frameworks, motion design, and pixel-level polish, with an expectation that the designer will also use AI-assisted coding tools to prototype and ship their own designs. The role suits an experienced, independently operating designer comfortable working across design systems, conversational UI, and agentic product experiences.

Why we read it this way (8)
This role sits at the intersection of product design and AI-assisted prototyping/coding — the primary day-to-day work is UX/product design (Figma, motion, design systems), making 15-1255 the best fit, but the explicit expectation to 'use AI coding tools to build and ship your own designs' introduces a meaningful software-delivery component, hence 15-1252 as the runner-up.
The posting is structured hybrid/remote; Zoom's headquarters is in San Jose, CA, but the role is listed with a remote work style and a wide national salary band, so remote=true is appropriate.
The BS degree requirement is paired with 'or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree gate applies.
AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0) are listed in the requirements section as a single interchangeable set — one skill emitted with alternatives.
React, TypeScript, CSS, and animation libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP, Lottie) all appear under the explicit 'Nice to have' heading.
The compensation range ($171,800–$375,900/year) is unusually wide; the posting notes a location-based compensation structure and that starting pay depends on qualifications and experience.
SOC 15-1255 is "Web and Digital Interface Designers", but this role was labelled "User Experience Researchers and Designers" — the code and title disagree, so the occupation (and its BLS denominator) may be wrong.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
