Job description

MiAO AI was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in Singapore, having raised over SGD 95 million from globally renowned investors. Our founding team previously built large-scale live-service gaming products with over 25 million DAU and 100 million MAU.

The next leap in AI isn't about getting smarter — it's about becoming yours. Seventy years of AI research keep proving the same thing: general methods win over clever designs. Models are getting stronger. Protocols are converging. Infrastructure is commoditizing. But one layer remains scarce — the layer that makes AI truly yours.

We're building personal AI agents — an AI that knows you better on day 30 than day 1, not because it got stronger, but because you shaped it.

Our workflow is 100% AI-driven — engineering, product, operations, no exceptions. No middle management. Radically flat. Every team member gets unlimited access to frontier AI models. We spend on efficiency, not process.

Who we're looking for:

Believe in the Bitter Lesson — let AI discover, not discover for it.

About This Role

You own the complete user-facing experience. You deliver features end-to-end — from understanding user needs, to designing interaction patterns, to shipping high-performance and polished experiences, bridging the gap between agent capabilities and what users actually perceive.

You’ll join a small, elite core team, working closely with the Founding Engineer and Software Engineers, reporting directly to the founders.

What You’ll Do

• Design and deliver the core experiences of how people interact with personal AI agents — e.g., conversation, feedback, personalization, and onboarding
• Solve complex UX challenges at the intersection of AI capabilities and user intent — making powerful agent behaviors feel simple and trustworthy
• Build and maintain the product's design system, ensuring consistency while adapting to increasingly complex agent workflows
• Drive product direction through prototyping and iteration — you define what to build and why
• Validate designs with data and user feedback, collaborating closely with the agent backend team

You May Be a Good Fit If You...

• Your daily workflow is 100% AI-driven — AI isn't an assistive tool, it's your default way of working
• 2-4 years of product design or product engineering experience, having delivered software products that users love — not prototypes, but products with real users
• Experience designing interactions for AI-native products — e.g., conversational UI, agent feedback loops, streaming output interfaces
• Proficient in modern frontend technologies (e.g., React, Next.js, TypeScript) with experience handling streaming data and complex async state
• A portfolio demonstrating excellent design taste and product thinking
• Deep attention to craft quality — the difference between "it works" and "it feels right" matters to you
• Comfortable with ambiguity — when a problem is unclear, you make it concrete through prototyping rather than documentation

Nice to Have

• Experience building design systems or animation/micro-interactions
• Experience with agent systems or LLM-powered applications
• Worked in an early-stage startup environment, driving product direction without detailed specs
• Please include links to your shipped product work in your resume. Applications without one may not proceed to interviews.

Other Information

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Design, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Languages: Working proficiency in English and Mandarin, as this role works daily with Mandarin-speaking internal stakeholders, whose documentation and communication are largely in Mandarin.
• Location: This is a full-time, on-site position in Singapore.
• Visa Sponsorship: MiAO AI provides visa sponsorship and immigration legal support for qualified candidates.
• Benefits: Comprehensive medical and dental insurance, 18 days annual leave plus public holidays and parental leave.
