Job summary

Abaka AI in Silicon Valley is building a new product and software team. You’ll own the user experience across web and mobile, shaping how our products look, feel, and fit together from day one. Collaborate with engineers and the team lead to design systems: foundations, components, and tokens so every product feels consistent and intuitive.

We value curiosity, systems thinking, and a bias to ship. Minimum qualifications include 1–4 years of UI/UX experience, a strong portfolio, and clear English

Qualifications

• 1–4 years of experience in UI/UX design.
• Portfolio showing web and mobile product design.
• Strong UX fundamentals: information architecture, interaction design, user flows, and usability.
• Strong visual craft: layout, typography, hierarchy, and attention to detail.
• Clear evidence of systems thinking: reusable components, patterns, or a design system you built or contributed to.
• Fluency in Figma and rapid prototyping.
• Ability to explain and defend design decisions to engineers and stakeholders in clear written and spoken English.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product design for web and mobile: discovery, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished UI.
• Frame problems before solving them. Talk to users, study how they work, and challenge requirements when there's a better answer.
• Build our design system from scratch: foundations (color, type, spacing, iconography, tokens) and a shared component library used across products.
• Design consistent experiences across our products and platforms, so each new product starts from the system rather than from a blank page.
• Partner closely with engineers to ship: prototype quickly, hand off clearly, and review what's built to keep quality high.
• Use research, usability testing, and product data to validate decisions and keep improving what's live.
• Help shape how the team works: design reviews, critique, and the processes a growing product team needs.
