AI Product Designer
Onsite | Abu Dhabi
AppliedAI is a pioneering AI technology company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, building AI solutions for regulated industries including healthcare, insurance, government, and financial services. We're looking for a designer who blends world-class craft, systems thinking, and genuine curiosity about AI to help shape the experience of our Opus platform.
We're building a category-defining AI product, and we need someone who can imagine experiences that don't exist yet — then bring them to life with elegance, precision, and speed. Whether you're a few years into your career or many, what matters most is the quality of your thinking and the craft in your work.
Define the Vision
- Contribute to a north-star experience for how users interact with AI — intuitive, human, and beautifully simple.
- Help shape the design language, patterns, motion principles, and identity that define our product for years to come.
- Translate business goals into cohesive product concepts and experience strategies.
Own & Ship Great Product
- Take ownership of a product area end-to-end: research, user flows, prototyping, visuals, interactions, and implementation.
- Drive features from concept to prototype to shipped experience, with real attention to detail.
- Collaborate closely with engineering to make sure craft, behaviours, animations, and micro-interactions survive the build process.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with stakeholders across engineering, product, AI teams, and leadership.
- Communicate design rationale clearly to both technical and non-design audiences.
- Be a thought partner on strategy and trade-offs, not just an executor of specs.
Research, Insights & Data
- Partner with research to understand user behaviours, needs, and pain points.
- Use qualitative and quantitative data to guide decisions and measure success.
- Run iterative experiments, define goals, track metrics, and refine designs based on insight.
Craft & Design Culture
- Set a high bar for UX, visual design, interaction quality, and emotional experience.
- Contribute to and help evolve our design system — scalability, consistency, and delight.
AI-Specific Work
- Design new interaction paradigms for AI agents, automation, co-pilots, and generative experiences.
- Partner with AI model training teams to prototype behaviours, prompt patterns, and explainability features.
- Experiment with new modalities — text, voice, workflow automation, predictive UX, intelligent defaults.
Qualifications:
Required
- Product design experience in high-craft, product-forward companies or design agencies.
- A portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end ownership and shipped, polished digital products.
- Strong systems thinking, visual design, and interaction design ability.
- Comfort working fast and iteratively in a startup-like environment.
- Ability to lead ambiguous problems through to clear, polished solutions.
Preferred
- Experience designing AI-driven or data-intensive products.
- Experience collaborating with AI model training or LLM teams.
- Experience partnering with major technology companies or external design teams.
- Motion design or prototyping expertise (Figma, ProtoPie, Principle, Framer).
Benefits:
Opportunity to work with a leading AI technology company.
Collaborative and innovative work environment.
Growing, entrepreneurial and forward-thinking culture.
Career growth and professional development opportunities.
Exposure to a thriving ecosystem working from our Abu Dhabi HQ.
21 days of paid annual leave.
Comprehensive medical insurance.
Visa sponsorship for international candidates.
