UX Designer

📍 Job Overview

Job Title: UX Designer

Company: Bjak

Location: United States (Remote)

Job Type: Full-time

Category: UX/Product Design

Date Posted: July 31, 2026

Experience Level: Mid-Level (2-5 years)

Remote Status: Fully Remote

🚀 Role Summary

• Spearhead the end-to-end User Experience (UX) design for Bjak's core AI-native application, impacting billions of users globally.

• Design intuitive and reliable user flows for complex AI-assisted tasks, ensuring user control and transparency throughout asynchronous processes.

• Translate intricate AI system behaviors and states into clear, understandable, and actionable user interfaces across iOS, Android, and web platforms.

• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Machine Learning (ML) teams to define user requirements and deliver impactful design solutions that enhance user efficiency and enjoyment.

📝 Enhancement Note: This role is pivotal for Bjak's mission to integrate AI into everyday applications. The focus on HCI and AI system behavior suggests a need for designers who can bridge the gap between complex technology and user needs, ensuring a seamless and trustworthy experience. The "remote" status with a US-based requirement implies adherence to US labor laws and potentially specific time zone collaboration expectations.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• Own and drive the UX design strategy for Bjak's core application surfaces across iOS, Android, and web platforms.

• Design comprehensive user flows, from initial intent capture to final task completion, encompassing AI progress tracking, decision surfacing, and robust error recovery mechanisms.

• Develop detailed wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity prototypes within Figma to effectively communicate design concepts to engineering teams.

• Map and design for the full spectrum of AI states, including loading, thinking, acting, waiting, completing, stalling, failing, and recovering, ensuring clear user feedback.

• Conduct targeted user research and usability testing to identify pain points, areas of uncertainty, and opportunities for improving user trust and engagement with AI functionalities.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and ML specialists to define user requirements, iterate on designs, and ensure technical feasibility.

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of a cohesive design system and shared UX patterns for AI-driven application surfaces.

• Design for both simplistic, everyday interactions and sophisticated, multi-step AI workflows within a unified product experience.

📝 Enhancement Note: The emphasis on "owning" UX and designing for "AI states" indicates a high degree of autonomy and responsibility. The need to balance "simple consumer UX" with "complex AI system behavior" highlights the unique challenge of this role, requiring a designer adept at managing ambiguity and intricate system logic.

🎓 Skills & Qualifications

Education: While no specific degree is mandated, a strong foundation in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design, or a related field is implied by the role's nature.

Experience: 2-5 years of professional experience as a UX Designer, specifically on consumer-facing mobile or web applications, with a demonstrated ability to manage complex product lifecycles.

Required Skills:

• Proven experience as a UX Designer with a strong portfolio showcasing consumer mobile or web app design projects.

• Expert proficiency in Figma for user flow design, wireframing, and high-fidelity prototyping.

• Deep understanding of designing for asynchronous, non-deterministic, and context-dependent systems, particularly those involving AI.

• Clear conceptual thinking regarding user trust, control, feedback mechanisms, and transparency in AI-driven product experiences.

• Demonstrated experience in conducting user research and translating research findings into actionable design decisions.

• Ability to thrive in fast-paced, agile environments with evolving product scope and requirements.

• Strong judgment for usability, edge cases, failure handling, and designing effective recovery flows.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for cross-functional teamwork with Product, Engineering, and ML teams. Preferred Skills:

• Experience with AI product design or designing for complex intelligent systems.

• Familiarity with designing for conversational interfaces or agent-based systems.

• Experience contributing to or developing design systems.

• Knowledge of HCI principles and user-centered design methodologies.

• Experience with A/B testing and data-driven design optimization.

📝 Enhancement Note: The "2-5 years" experience level suggests a mid-level role where candidates are expected to be proficient in core UX skills and capable of independent work, but may not yet be leading large teams or setting company-wide design strategy. The emphasis on a "strong portfolio" is critical for demonstrating these capabilities.
