A1 is building a proactive AI smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows.
Our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion. The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior.
RoleYou will shape the visual language of A1's product. In AI applications, visual design must do more than look polished. It must help users understand dynamic content, system behavior, reliability signals, and complex AI-driven workflows.
This role supports HCI by making the interface clearer, more readable, and easier to trust.
What You'll Be DoingDesign the visual language, design system, and UI components for A1's product across web and mobile.
Create visual patterns that help users parse AI-generated content, distinguish system states, and understand confidence and reliability signals.
Design for information density and hierarchy in AI interfaces where content is dynamic, variable, and often uncertain.
Work with product and UX designers to translate interaction flows into polished, accessible visual designs.
Build and maintain a design system that supports speed, consistency, and clarity.
Define visual standards for error states, empty states, loading states, task states, and AI-generated output.
Contribute visual assets and design specs that engineers can implement accurately.
Make AI-heavy interfaces feel clear and structured without overwhelming users.
Experience as a visual or UI designer with a portfolio across web or mobile products.
Strong skills in typography, color, layout, and visual hierarchy.
Proficiency in Figma and experience building or contributing to design systems.
Ability to design for dynamic content where AI output varies in length, format, tone, and reliability.
Understanding of accessibility standards and how to design for legibility and contrast.
Comfort designing under ambiguity, with evolving product requirements.
Experience working closely with product and UX designers in fast-moving teams.
Awareness of how visual cues communicate AI system behavior, trust, and confidence.
