Lead Capability Experience Designer (UX) - Technology

Job Description

Every day at FIS, innovators, problem-solvers and changemakers work together to create technology that advances the world of finance. We embrace new ideas, challenge what's possible, and empower our teams to make a lasting impact. If you're ready to help shape the future of fintech — Unlock your next chapter with FIS .

About the role:

This is not a traditional design role. As Capability Experience Designer for Engineering & Infrastructure, you will sit at the intersection of how engineers work and how they grow — designing the experiences, tools, and enablement systems that help FIS engineers adopt Agentic AI, operate modern infrastructure, and develop the skills to thrive in a human + digital workforce.

You will work across the Engineering Service Delivery lifecycle — from onboarding and agentic code review through to platform operations, SRE practices, and cloud-native working — designing solutions that are embedded in the workflow, not layered on top of it. Your design canvas is the engineer's daily reality: their IDE, their runbooks, their deployment pipeline, their on-call rotation.

What you will be doing:

• Engineering Service Delivery — Agentic AI Adoption
• Design the end-to-end engineer experience for adopting Agentic AI tools — from first awareness through to confident, productive use in day-to-day delivery.
• Map the Engineering Service Delivery lifecycle and identify the moments where enablement, guidance, and skill-building have the highest impact.
• Build intuitive onboarding journeys for Agentic AI capabilities: AI Gateway, Agent Runtime, SDK standards, and agentic code review workflows.
• Design the Human ↔ Digital Worker task boundary experience — helping engineers understand what to delegate, when to escalate, and how to maintain accountability.
• Prototype and iterate enablement touchpoints (in-workflow nudges, contextual guides, decision aids) using adoption signals and engineer feedback.
• Infrastructure Operating Model — Platform Engineering, SRE & Cloud
• Design capability experiences for Platform Engineering, SRE, and Cloud operating model roles — from self-serve platform consumption to on-call readiness and incident response.
• Create workflow-embedded enablement for engineers onboarding to the Central AI Gateway, Agent Runtime, and cloud-native infrastructure patterns.
• Map SRE and Platform Engineering journeys: identify friction points, knowledge gaps, and moments of need where targeted enablement changes outcomes.
• Build scalable assets — runbook templates, decision frameworks, escalation guides — that embed good practice into infrastructure operations rather than asking engineers to context-switch into a learning system.
• Partner with Platform and SRE leads to design operating rhythm tools that support the shift from activity-based to outcome-based performance.
• Capability Framework & Talent Development
• Translate the Diamond-shape Talent Model (Thought Leadership + Dev + Action) into concrete learning pathways, role profiles, and progression criteria for AI-era engineering roles.
• Design the Capability & Learning session framework— facilitating structured capability discovery across engineering and infrastructure populations.
• Build the Learning Management and Knowledge System architecture: validation approach, applied learning, and judgment development in the flow of work.
• Use engineer performance, adoption, and platform usage data to continuously evaluate capability gaps and refine solutions.
• Maintain enterprise-wide design standards and reusable patterns across engineering academies, platforms, and channels.
• Cross-Functional Design & Stakeholder Partnership
• Work directly with Engineering leadership, Platform teams, SRE leads, AI Platform Program owners, and Workforce Design to ensure capability solutions are grounded in real delivery context.
• Conduct ongoing user research with engineers — shadowing workflows, running feedback loops, and translating insights into improvements rapidly.
• Audit and optimize existing enablement materials for cognitive load, relevance, and usability within engineering contexts.
• Ensure all solutions are accessible, inclusive, and designed for the diverse range of engineering roles and seniority levels across FIS.
• Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree or equivalent in UX Design, Human-Centered Design Thinking, Learning Experience Design, Computer Science or related field.
• Proven experience designing enablement, learning, or behavior-change solutions within engineering, technology, or infrastructure organizations.
• Strong UX fundamentals: journey mapping, workflow analysis, service design, interaction design, and prototype-and-test methodologies.
• Understanding software engineering delivery practices — familiarity with how engineers work, how code moves from idea to production, and where friction lives in developer workflows.
• Experience translating complex technical or organizational change into practical, intuitive experiences for technical audiences.
• Ability to conduct user research with engineers and turn insights into rapid, iterative improvements.
• Strong collaboration, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills across both technical and non-technical

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience supporting Agentic AI, developer tooling, or AI platform adoption programs.
• Familiarity with Platform Engineering, SRE, or Cloud operating models and the roles within them (SRE, Platform Engineer, Cloud Architect, DevOps).
• Industry expertise in Banking, Payments, Cap Market, Finance
• Knowledge of developer experience (DX) design principles and toolchain-embedded enablement approaches.
• Experience creating capability frameworks, role taxonomies, or learning architecture for engineering populations.
• Familiarity with digital adoption tools, in-workflow learning, and performance-support design patterns.
• Understanding of AI-enabled or personalized capability solutions within enterprise engineering contexts.
• Experience facilitating workshops or capability discovery sessions with senior engineering or infrastructure leaders.

What we offer you:

Ready to build what's next?  At FIS, you'll have the opportunity to grow your career, contribute your ideas, and help create technology that powers the global economy.

This role includes:

Direct impact on how FIS engineers adopt and operate Agentic AI, how we modernize legacy products — shaping the future of how engineering & infra work gets done at scale.

A seat at the table in a high-priority AI Platform program with visible executive sponsorship.

Opportunities for personal and professional growth in a fast-moving, innovation-focused environment.

Inclusive, collaborative work culture with resources to give back to your community.

Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
