About

We are building an AI-native SaaS for real estate. The product is a PropTech platform where LLMs and AI agents are not bolted on top - they are the architecture. Owners, operators and guests interact with the AI system through natural language. AI autonomously generates compliance documents, routes staff, answers guest queries from a RAG-indexed knowledge base in real time and orchestrates financial split-payments.

But the product is only half of it.

We are equally an AI-first delivery organization. The way we discover, define and ship is as differentiated as what we ship. Product discovery, specification, design and validation run through a tight loop in which humans operate at the level of intent, structure and judgment, and AI agents do most of the typing. Designs are not throwaway pictures - they feed directly into the machine-readable artifacts our coding and review agents consume.

What you will own & do

AI-First Way of Working

• Daily, deep, native use of AI tools for mockup generation, prototype scaffolding, copy iteration, design exploration, asset generation and design-system upkeep.

• Treat AI tools the way an engineer treats their IDE: opinionated, tuned, integrated into every step of your workflow.

• Co-design, with the Tech Lead and the Business Analyst, the boundary between what you produce by hand and what is generated, transformed or validated by agents.

• Contribute to internal evals from the design side: define what "good" looks like for AI-generated UI and for our user-facing AI experiences.

End-to-End Product Design

• Own the end-to-end product design process: information architecture, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups and clickable prototypes for web and mobile.

• Translate validated product intent and specifications into clear, usable, beautiful screens and flows - working from the Business Analyst's discovery output, not waiting on hand-holding.

• Keep dense, complex functionality usable: dashboards, multi-tenant views, role-based experiences, real-time data and back-office tooling that people actually enjoy using.

• Own the whole flow, not just the screens: frame the problem with the product team, map the user journey, decide what should exist at all - then design it. You are accountable for the outcome of the experience, not for the delivery of mockups.

• Lead with UX over UI: structure, flows, states, edge cases, copy and decision points come first; visual polish follows and serves them.

• Iterate quickly, kill weak concepts early, and ship surfaces you can stand behind.

Working with the Product Team

• Work closely with the product team daily: discovery, planning and prioritisation with the Chief Operating Officer and the Business Analyst. Design is in the room when scope is decided, not briefed afterwards.

• Challenge requirements from the user's side: propose simpler flows, cut what does not need to exist, and push back when a feature does not earn its place.

• Keep the team aligned remotely: clear async write-ups, recorded walkthroughs and decision logs so a distributed team across Ukraine and Dubai never waits on you to explain a design.

Designing AI & Agent-Driven Interfaces

• Design natural-language and agent-driven interfaces: chat surfaces, mixed conversational + structured UIs, agent hand-offs, transparency of AI actions, edit/undo affordances - core to our product, not decoration.

• Design for the failure modes of LLM-driven products: uncertainty, latency, wrong answers, partial actions - so users stay in control and trust the system.

Design System & Handoff to the AI-First Machine

• Establish and maintain a design system together with engineering: components, tokens, patterns and accessibility baselines - consumable by both humans and code-generation agents.

• Structure design artifacts so they map cleanly onto the spec layer and onto the components our coding agents generate - design that survives translation into code.

• Partner with the Business Analyst so screens, specs and acceptance criteria stay in sync; when the design changes, downstream artifacts change with it.

Validation & Usability

• Run usability sessions on prototypes before engineering writes a line of code; de-risk decisions early.

• Participate in discovery from a design and usability angle - sketch concepts live, pressure-test ideas with real owners, operators and guests.

• Own design QA: measure what shipped versus what was designed, and feed learnings into the next iteration.

What we are looking for

Must have

• 4+ years of relevant experience in product design, UX/UI or product/design hybrid roles, with senior-level ownership of end-to-end design.

• A portfolio showing shipped product surfaces - not just Dribbble shots - including work where you shaped the flow and the product decision, not only the screens.

• 0 → 1 builder: worked directly with Heads and/or Founders and Engineering - not joining an already-scaled product org.

• Hands-on UX/UI ability: high-fidelity mockups, prototypes and design-system work.

• Experience designing for AI/LLM-driven products: chat, agents, mixed conversational + structured UIs, AI-assisted workflows - and you understand their failure modes.

• Comfortable with complex B2B / multi-sided product surfaces: dashboards, multi-tenant SaaS, role-based experiences, real-time data, complex back-office tooling.

• Daily, deep, native use of AI tools: mockup generation, prototyping, copywriting, design exploration. You have a real, opinionated workflow built around them and can defend your choices.

• Design-system craft: components, tokens, patterns and accessibility - structured cleanly enough that engineers (and agents) do not have to guess.

• Comfortable working directly with engineering on feasibility and component handoff.

• Experience-first mindset: you talk about users, jobs and outcomes before pixels.

• Strong written and verbal English (B2+); remote-ready in a distributed team (Ukraine + Dubai) with async-friendly communication.

Strong advantage (Nice to have)

• Background in PropTech, hospitality tech, Fintech or multi-sided marketplace platforms.

• Exposure to IoT / smart-home product surfaces, payment flows or compliance/regulatory workflows.

• Experience setting up or significantly improving an AI-assisted design workflow (exploration → mockups → prototype → validation) on a real product.

• Motion / interaction design and prototyping depth for conversational and agentic UIs.

Why this role

You will help build the first AI-native operating system for real estate in Dubai and the AI-first design practice that shapes it. Both are differentiators, both are hard and both are yours to own at the senior level.

• Genuine design ownership - of the product's UX, its design system and the agent-driven interfaces. This is not a "pixel-push the tickets" role.

• Clear growth trajectory - this role evolves into Lead Product Designer and then Head of Design as the team scales.

• Direct access to the CEO and the Chief Operating Officer - short decision loops, no middle management.

• Technically ambitious product surface - AI agents, RAG, IoT, real-time systems, government and regulatory APIs and eventually tokenization infrastructure.

• AI-first by default - you will co-design how a product gets designed and validated inside an AI-first delivery machine.

• Seat at the product table - you shape what gets built, not just how it looks once decided.

• Remote-first across Ukraine, Lviv office opening soon (attendance optional), Dubai HQ (One Central Plaza) as the company base.

Conditions

• Full-time, long-term; contract format agreed individually.

• Remote, anywhere in Ukraine (must be located in Ukraine).

• Please include a link to your portfolio.
