About
We are building an AI-native SaaS for real estate. The product is a PropTech platform where LLMs and AI agents are not bolted on top – they are the architecture. Owners, operators and guests interact with the AI system through natural language. AI autonomously generates compliance documents, routes staff, answers guest queries from a RAG-indexed knowledge base in real time and orchestrates financial split-payments.
But the product is only half of it.
We are equally an AI-first delivery organization. The way we discover, define and ship is as differentiated as what we ship. Product discovery, specification, design and validation run through a tight loop in which humans operate at the level of intent, structure and judgment, and AI agents do most of the typing. Designs are not throwaway pictures – they feed directly into the machine-readable artifacts our coding and review agents consume.
What you will own & do
AI-First Way of Working
Daily, deep, native use of AI tools for mockup generation, prototype scaffolding, copy iteration, design exploration, asset generation and design-system upkeep.
Treat AI tools the way an engineer treats their IDE: opinionated, tuned, integrated into every step of your workflow.
Co-design, with the Tech Lead and the Business Analyst, the boundary between what you produce by hand and what is generated, transformed or validated by agents.
Contribute to internal evals from the design side: define what "good" looks like for AI-generated UI and for our user-facing AI experiences.
End-to-End Product Design
Own the end-to-end product design process: information architecture, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups and clickable prototypes for web and mobile.
Translate validated product intent and specifications into clear, usable, beautiful screens and flows – working from the Business Analyst's discovery output, not waiting on hand-holding.
Keep dense, complex functionality usable: dashboards, multi-tenant views, role-based experiences, real-time data and back-office tooling that people actually enjoy using.
Own the whole flow, not just the screens: frame the problem with the product team, map the user journey, decide what should exist at all – then design it. You are accountable for the outcome of the experience, not for the delivery of mockups.
Lead with UX over UI: structure, flows, states, edge cases, copy and decision points come first; visual polish follows and serves them.
Iterate quickly, kill weak concepts early, and ship surfaces you can stand behind.
Working with the Product Team
Work closely with the product team daily: discovery, planning and prioritisation with the Chief Operating Officer and the Business Analyst. Design is in the room when scope is decided, not briefed afterwards.
Challenge requirements from the user's side: propose simpler flows, cut what does not need to exist, and push back when a feature does not earn its place.
Keep the team aligned remotely: clear async write-ups, recorded walkthroughs and decision logs so a distributed team across Ukraine and Dubai never waits on you to explain a design.
Designing AI & Agent-Driven Interfaces
Design natural-language and agent-driven interfaces: chat surfaces, mixed conversational + structured UIs, agent hand-offs, transparency of AI actions, edit/undo affordances – core to our product, not decoration.
Design for the failure modes of LLM-driven products: uncertainty, latency, wrong answers, partial actions – so users stay in control and trust the system.
Design System & Handoff to the AI-First Machine
Establish and maintain a design system together with engineering: components, tokens, patterns and accessibility baselines – consumable by both humans and code-generation agents.
Structure design artifacts so they map cleanly onto the spec layer and onto the components our coding agents generate – design that survives translation into code.
Partner with the Business Analyst so screens, specs and acceptance criteria stay in sync; when the design changes, downstream artifacts change with it.
Validation & Usability
Run usability sessions on prototypes before engineering writes a line of code; de-risk decisions early.
Participate in discovery from a design and usability angle – sketch concepts live, pressure-test ideas with real owners, operators and guests.
Own design QA: measure what shipped versus what was designed, and feed learnings into the next iteration.
What we are looking for
Must have
4+ years of relevant experience in product design, UX/UI or product/design hybrid roles, with senior-level ownership of end-to-end design.
A portfolio showing shipped product surfaces – not just Dribbble shots – including work where you shaped the flow and the product decision, not only the screens.
0 1 builder: worked directly with Heads and/or Founders and Engineering – not joining an already-scaled product org.
Hands-on UX/UI ability: high-fidelity mockups, prototypes and design-system work.
Experience designing for AI/LLM-driven products: chat, agents, mixed conversational + structured UIs, AI-assisted workflows – and you understand their failure modes.
Comfortable with complex B2B / multi-sided product surfaces: dashboards, multi-tenant SaaS, role-based experiences, real-time data, complex back-office tooling.
Daily, deep, native use of AI tools: mockup generation, prototyping, copywriting, design exploration. You have a real, opinionated workflow built around them and can defend your choices.
Design-system craft: components, tokens, patterns and accessibility – structured cleanly enough that engineers (and agents) do not have to guess.
Comfortable working directly with engineering on feasibility and component handoff.
Experience-first mindset: you talk about users, jobs and outcomes before pixels.
Strong written and verbal English (B2+); remote-ready in a distributed team (Ukraine + Dubai) with async-friendly communication.
Strong advantage (Nice to have)
Background in PropTech, hospitality tech, Fintech or multi-sided marketplace platforms.
Exposure to IoT / smart-home product surfaces, payment flows or compliance/regulatory workflows.
Experience setting up or significantly improving an AI-assisted design workflow (exploration mockups prototype validation) on a real product.
Motion / interaction design and prototyping depth for conversational and agentic UIs.
Why this role
You will help build the first AI-native operating system for real estate in Dubai and the AI-first design practice that shapes it. Both are differentiators, both are hard and both are yours to own at the senior level.
Genuine design ownership – of the product's UX, its design system and the agent-driven interfaces. This is not a "pixel-push the tickets" role.
Clear growth trajectory – this role evolves into Lead Product Designer and then Head of Design as the team scales.
Direct access to the CEO and the Chief Operating Officer – short decision loops, no middle management.
Technically ambitious product surface – AI agents, RAG, IoT, real-time systems, government and regulatory APIs and eventually tokenization infrastructure.
AI-first by default – you will co-design how a product gets designed and validated inside an AI-first delivery machine.
Seat at the product table – you shape what gets built, not just how it looks once decided.
Remote-first across Ukraine, Lviv office opening soon (attendance optional), Dubai HQ (One Central Plaza) as the company base.
Conditions
Full-time, long-term; contract format agreed individually.
Remote, anywhere in Ukraine (must be located in Ukraine).
