- Must be USC/GC/EAD and be able to obtain and maintain a NACI Tier 1 background investigation.
Key Responsibilities - Design and develop user interfaces for AI-enabled applications, dashboards, and workflows, from user research, wireframes, and prototypes through visual design, interaction design, and production front-end code.
- Build responsive, reusable front-end components (e.g., React or Angular with TypeScript) aligned with the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) and agency digital experience standards.
- Design AI-specific user experiences, including conversational interfaces, source citations, confidence cues, and clear labeling of AI-generated versus human-verified content.
- Design human-in-the-loop review screens that let users approve, override, reject, or escalate AI outputs with documented rationale.
- Ensure all interfaces meet Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, test them with assistive technologies using DHS Trusted Tester methods, and prepare an ACR/VPAT for each release.
- Plan and run usability assessments with users, and use the findings, user feedback, and 21st Century IDEA guidance to refine designs.
- Develop user adoption and training materials, including user guides, job aids, and release guidance, and support user enablement and helpdesk activities.
- Collaborate with AI engineers, product owners, and stakeholders in two-week Agile sprints, and take part in design, code, and accessibility reviews.
- Keep designs, code, and documentation in Government-approved repositories, using Government-furnished or open-source design tools.
