Job summary

Ajaia is seeking a Digital Product Designer to drive discovery and design across client engagements and Ajaia’s own product suite. You will interview frontline workers, observe workflows, and translate insights into journeys, wireframes, and prototypes that engineers can build from with confidence.

You will test designs with real users before any production code and uphold the design standard across the product suite.

Qualifications

• Runs discovery yourself: interviews, usability testing, and reading behavioral data.
• Moves from synthesis to a working prototype fast.
• Designs the human checkpoints into a workflow rather than bolting them on later.
• Comfortable holding your ground when the evidence points somewhere a stakeholder does not expect.
• AI fluent: uses AI daily to research, synthesize, and prototype, and can tell good output from slop.
• Comfortable working directly alongside engineers through build.
• No minimum years required. We hire on the work.
• Fully remote, and comfortable running interviews and user testing over video.
• A bachelor’s degree is preferred and is not a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Run discovery on client engagements: interview the people doing the work, watch them do it over screen-share, and find the gap between what they say and what they actually do.
• Talk to users of Ajaia’s own products the same way. The product suite is not exempt from the same rigor client work gets.
• Synthesize findings into what people actually need, stated separately from what they asked for, with the evidence for each.
• Design the solution: user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes that an engineer can build from without guessing.
• Decide where a human has to sign off inside a workflow, and design that checkpoint into the product rather than bolting it on afterward.
• Test designs with real users before code exists, not after.
• Push back on a stakeholder’s feature list when the evidence points somewhere else, and explain why in terms they can act on.
• Own the design standard across Ajaia’s product suite so a designer joining engagement three does not have to reinvent decisions made on engagement one.
