✨ What You'll Do

  • Design the end-to-end UX for OpenArt products—from mapping user journeys to crafting clear and engaging interactions.
  • Act as the bridge between product and design, translating user needs and product requirements into elegant flows and experiences.
  • Partner with product, engineering, and research to define the product's direction and prioritize the most impactful features.
  • Proactively think through different use cases and edge cases, anticipating user needs before they arise.

  • Curiosity & Growth – We love asking "what if?" and embrace learning as part of the journey.
  • Collaboration & Openness – Ideas can come from anywhere. We thrive on feedback and co-creation.
  • Human-Centered Design – Technology should amplify creativity, not get in the way.

🔎 What We're Looking For

Hard Skills

  • Strong background in UX design and product logic—you think in systems, flows, and user journeys.
  • Ability to translate user research and feedback into clear requirements and intuitive designs.
  • Experience creating wireframes, prototypes, and interaction flows with tools like Figma or similar.
  • Solid UI design skills—you can deliver polished outcomes, but UX and product thinking are your core strengths.
  • Comfort navigating ambiguous product spaces, and helping bring structure and clarity.

  • Proactive problem solver—you spot opportunities and propose solutions before being asked.
  • Growth mindset—you're eager to learn, adapt, and evolve with the fast-changing world of AI.
  • Strong communicator—able to articulate design decisions and product reasoning clearly.

🤩 Example Ideal Candidate

  • A "full-stack" designer who loves UX and product thinking as much as pixel-perfect UI.
  • Someone who's equally comfortable mapping user flows as they are sketching prototypes.
  • Excited about working in a startup environment, wearing many hats, and shaping the product direction.
  • Passionate about storytelling, creativity, and AI—and curious about how new tools can empower human imagination.
