Job summary

Ajaia is hiring a Product Designer (UI/UX) to lead discovery and design on client engagements and Ajaia's own product suite in New York. You will talk to the people who actually do the work, observe workflows, and translate insights into journeys, wireframes, and prototypes that engineers can build from.

This hands-on role requires running interviews, usability testing, and synthesizing findings with evidence.

Qualifications

• Turns synthesis into a working prototype fast.
• Designs human checkpoints into a workflow.
• Comfortable leading rooms when evidence points somewhere others do not expect.
• Works directly with engineers through build.
• AI fluent: uses AI daily to research, synthesize, and prototype.
• On-site in New York with client-site travel for discovery work.

Responsibilities

• Run discovery on client engagements: interview the people doing the work, observe them, and identify gaps between what they say and do.
• Talk to users of Ajaia's products with the same rigor as client work.
• Synthesize findings into validated needs with supporting evidence.
• Design user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes ready for engineering.
• Decide where human sign-offs occur and embed checks in workflows.
• Test designs with real users before code exists.
• Maintain and propagate a design standard across all product engagements.
• Prototype with AI tools as a default approach.
