About the Team
The Product Team creates high-quality end-to-end experiences for travelers, partners, and Expedia Group. Within Product & Technology, the AI Experiences team is shaping the next generation of travel shopping, exploring how AI can help travelers discover possibilities, make informed decisions, and confidently plan trips in a world of increasing choice and complexity.

•Translate complex AI capabilities into experiences that are intuitive, transparent, and understandable, helping travelers make confident decisions while maintaining a sense of control.
•Design across conversational, visual, and multimodal interfaces, creating cohesive experiences that meet travelers where they are and support different decision-making styles.
Partner Across Disciplines

•Influence product direction by balancing traveler needs, business outcomes, and technical opportunities while thoughtfully navigating the realities and limitations of AI systems.
•Help teams identify opportunities where AI can genuinely improve the traveler experience rather than simply adding complexity.
Prototype, Learn, and Iterate
•Bring ideas to life through prototypes, experiments, and tangible design artifacts that accelerate learning and decision-making.
•Work directly with real AI outputs and evolving technologies to evaluate interaction patterns, identify edge cases, and uncover opportunities for improvement.
•Leverage research, analytics, experimentation, and customer feedback to continuously refine experiences and influence roadmap priorities.
Elevate Design Quality
•Contribute patterns, frameworks, and best practices that advance Expedia Group's approach to designing AI-powered experiences.
•Partner with fellow designers through critiques, reviews, and mentoring to raise the quality and consistency of work across the organization.

•Experience designing complex product experiences in collaboration with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional stakeholders.
•Understanding of how AI-powered experiences should communicate confidence, uncertainty, recommendations, limitations, and failure states.
•Ability to simplify ambiguity and articulate design rationale to audiences ranging from engineers to senior leaders.
•Proficiency with Figma and experience contributing to shared design systems and scalable component libraries.
Preferred Qualifications:
•Experience shipping AI-powered products, including conversational, recommendation, generative, voice, or multimodal experiences.
