Why Semaverse (semaverse.ai)

The world’s most sophisticated investment and corporate strategy teams are drowning in unstructured information. Analysts spend days stitching together fragments of data, struggling to connect dots fast enough to act on billion-dollar opportunities.

Semaverse changes that.

We’re building agentic AI with intelligent memory, a platform that transforms fragmented information into a living, semantic knowledge graph, then empowers AI agents to reason, plan, and act alongside humans. From diligence and deal evaluation to post-merger integration, we help professionals see what others miss and decide with conviction.

Our products; Market Sense, AI Vault, Diligent AI, and Post-merger AI are reshaping how analysts, investors, and portfolio directors work. Backed by an experienced team of technology and product co-founders, we’re building the next generation of enterprise software for decision-makers.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior UX Designer to own the craft of turning complex M&A and investment workflows into elegant, intuitive experiences.

This is not a design support role. It’s a seat at the table in a company redefining how knowledge and agents work together. You’ll spend the majority of your time on our enterprise SaaS applications and a smaller portion shaping our Chrome Companion extension. This also includes influencing and shaping go to market collateral for the website and customer/investor materials.

We created a sophisticated prototype, now we are building our MVP. You’ll work closely with the CTO, CPO, Frontend and Backend Engineer to deliver a thoughtful user experience that showcases our AI capabilities.

Your mission: make agentic AI legible, trustworthy, and actionable for professionals whose decisions move markets.

What You’ll Do

• Design end-to-end workflows for M&A and investment use cases, diligence, market scans, competitive intelligence, portfolio tracking, and post-merger integration.
• Invent interaction models that translate AI agent reasoning into clear states, citations, and multi-step actions users can trust.
• Craft data-dense layouts for analysts that make complexity navigable, insightful, and fast.
• Prototype with Figma and Framer to bring ideas to life quickly and persuasively.
• Partner directly with analysts, investors, and portfolio directors to validate usability and sharpen design decisions.
• Contribute to and evolve Semaverse’s design system for enterprise-grade consistency and scalability.
• Ensure accessibility and inclusivity at every step (WCAG 2.1+).
   

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of UX/Product Design experience in enterprise SaaS, fintech, research, or analytics tools.
• A portfolio that shows mastery of interaction design: clarity, hierarchy, and elegance in complex workflows.
• Experience thriving in startup or high-growth environments — balancing speed, ambiguity, and craft.
• Advanced fluency in Figma and Framer, with evidence of rapid, high-fidelity prototyping.
• Expertise in information visualization and workflow mapping for data-heavy domains.
• Proven track record of shipping enterprise products in partnership with PM and engineering.
• Nice-to-have: Experience designing for AI, LLMs, or agent systems — especially around trust, explainability, and human-AI collaboration.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 6 months, you will have:

• Redesigned and shipped a critical analyst workflow with measurable impact on deal evaluation speed and insight discovery.
• Delivered prototypes that influence product direction and secure customer and founder buy-in.
• Contributed foundational components to the design system, enabling faster, more consistent product delivery.
• Earned the trust of analysts and investors as a designer who understands their world and makes their work better.
   

Culture

At Semaverse, we foster a culture of collaboration, growth, and continuous learning. We value diverse perspectives and believe that great ideas can come from anyone. Our fully remote work environment empowers you to take ownership of your time and work while staying connected ad-hoc through Slack and regular catchups and planning.
 

• Semaverse is located in London, UK, but operates as a fully remote company. You can be anywhere as long as work gets done and communication is smooth. 
• We believe in team work and autonomy. We hire and work with individuals we can trust to get things done and who actively seek collaboration where it counts. 
• We know you can make good decisions, your experience is valuable and your contribution is more than working through tickets. 

You can expect to have peace and quiet to work, build and solve meaningful and interesting tasks. But you will also be expected to contribute with ideas and in discussions with your experience. Finally, active collaboration and feedback is expected whenever and however it makes sense. That can be design workshops, customer feedback sessions, product development with engineering, a chat or something else.

Being part of Semaverse means working directly with the founders who have deep, long experience in tech and product in many industries with Cloud Computing, Big Data, Data Science, ML and AI.

Relationship

You will be a contractor not an employee. However, we aim to make your income predictable and have allowances for private and public holidays. While you have a lot of independence, you will be part of a team and we will treat you well.

Application

To apply, share your portfolio with 2–3 case studies that highlight:

• How you simplified complex, data-heavy problems.
• The interaction design tradeoffs you made.
• The impact your work had on users or business outcomes.

Interview Process

Simple three stages with quick turn around.

1. A 45 minute call introducing Semaverse, yourself and checking for a reasonable fit.
2. A one day paid work on a real task with the CPO's guidance. The aim is to learn how you approach a real issue. We are mindful that full onboarding is not possible in a day. So this is about learning about your skills, ways of working, and not finishing multiple tasks with unrealistic expectations in a day.
3. Meet the team - talk to a couple of people to ensure there is a good fit on both sides and excitement to start working together.

How we work
We have daily stand-ups sharing updates and blockers, and weekly product and technology focused sessions. We work remote, mostly UK and Ukraine, and asynchronous but we do try and be available (Slack) most of the day for ad-hoc conversations and collaboration as needed.

You can use AI in your day to day work as long as it is used considered, carefully and only as a tool to help your productivity and not as a replacement of your skills.
