About Uniphore
Uniphore is one of the fastest-growing Enterprise GenAI companies—built-for-scale and designed for the enterprise. We drive business outcomes across multiple industry verticals and enable some of the largest global deployments.
At Uniphore, we are building the modern GenAI stack for the enterprise. That includes all required layers and capabilities: data, knowledge, agent model training, deployment, operationalization, and applications that act both as conduits for GenAI actions as well as sources of training data for our models.
Unlike mega-tech vendors who deal with decades of legacy code—or startups with no enterprise customer base—we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the GenAI moment. As AI becomes more powerful, every part of the enterprise that impacts the customer will be disrupted. We believe the future will run on the connective tissue between people, machines, and data: all in the service of creating the most human processes and experiences for customers and employees.

Deep experience with user roles, permissions, governance, auditability, reliability, and enterprise trust requirements.
Work closely with customer-facing teams to understand friction points, map workflows, and modernize legacy user journeys.
GenAI & Agentic Experience Design

Create UX patterns for:
AI copilots and assistants
AI task automation flows
Multi-agent orchestration interfaces
Human-in-the-loop decision validation
AI explanations, transparency & trust signals
Partner with ML/AI engineering to ensure UI/UX integrates seamlessly with model behavior, constraints, and capabilities.
