About the opportunity
As part of the Delivery Hero network, talabat is the pioneer of the online food ordering industry in the Middle East. We're on a mission to become one of the most "Experience-first" companies in the region, and we're looking for a Product Designer to grow with us.
We are looking for a Product Designer who is passionate about building intuitive, scalable, and user-centered digital products.
At the IC2 level, you have moved beyond basic execution and entry-level support. You take autonomous ownership of feature-level end-to-end design within your product squad. You partner comfortably with Product Managers and Engineers to navigate complex interaction problems, leverage user data, and contribute directly to feature-level strategy and delivery.
If you thrive in an agile, fast-paced environment, love turning user insights into elegant interface solutions, and want to build products used by millions of people daily, we’d love to meet you!
What’s On Your Plate?
End-to-End Execution: Own the full design lifecycle for feature initiatives—from discovery and user research to wireframing, interactive prototyping, and pixel-perfect production delivery.
Problem Definition & Framing: Work directly with your PM and Engineering leads to translate user needs and business requirements into clear, validated design solutions.
User Research & Insights: Plan and execute evaluative user research (usability testing, user interviews) and utilize quantitative metrics to validate design hypotheses.
Design System Stewardship: Apply and advocate for our design system consistently across web and mobile experiences. Identify gaps, propose new components, and help evolve system patterns.
Systems & Edge Case Thinking: Design with a deep understanding of complex backend workflows, edge cases, offline states, and multi-step user journeys.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with developers during handoff and QA to ensure technical feasibility and craft quality during release.
Design Advocacy & Communication: Present design solutions, logic, and trade-offs clearly to squad stakeholders, incorporating feedback iteratively.
Craft & Process Innovation: Participate actively in design critiques, help facilitate ideation workshops, and integrate AI tools to accelerate design workflows.
What you need to be successful
What Did We Order?
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, Design, HCI, Visual Communication, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Experience: 3–4 years of full-time UX/UI design experience in an agile, consumer-facing digital product environment (e-commerce, food delivery, or hyper-scale platforms).
Portfolio: A strong product design portfolio demonstrating end-to-end problem-solving, UX rationale, edge-case consideration, and polished visual UI execution.
Tooling Expertise: Advanced proficiency in Figma (component libraries, auto-layout, interactive prototyping) and familiarity with AI design tools.
Data & Research Competency: Demonstrated experience using qualitative feedback and quantitative metrics (A/B testing, funnels, heatmaps) to guide design iterations.
Cross-Functional Skills: Solid understanding of technical constraints, design handoff workflows, and collaboration with Product Management and Engineering ("Three-in-a-Box" model).
Mindset: Autonomous, detail-oriented, open to critique, and driven by a continuous growth mindset.
