About UX Pilot AI

UX Pilot is an AI-powered design platform that enables designers, product managers, and teams to create high-quality UX/UI designs in minutes. With 60,000 monthly signups and $5.3M ARR, we're transforming how digital products are designed, from initial concept to production-ready mockups.

We're at an exciting growth stage: proven product-market fit with individual users, and now expanding into enterprise team collaboration. We're building the features that will make UX Pilot essential for product teams at companies like Qualys, Verizon, Agoda, and hundreds of fast-growing businesses.

The Role

Location: Remote (Europe preferred, with overlap with CET timezone)

Type: Full-time

Reports to: Founder

Team: Product/Design

We're looking for a Lead Product Designer who can own the product experience end-to-end and shape what UX Pilot looks and feels like as we scale. Design at UX Pilot is about balancing creative vision with deep attention to detail, and pushing what users expect from an AI-native design tool.

You'll work directly with the founder and the product team to drive the design of our core platform, our AI workflows, and the systems that hold everything together. You'll be expected to think like an owner: define the bar, ship at velocity, and lead users to the aha moment as fast as possible.

What You'll Do

Own the Product Experience End-to-End

Own the design of complete user journeys, from first touchpoint through core workflows to retention-driving moments
Design for the full B2B complexity: multi-role workflows, admin/user permission layers, onboarding for teams, and enterprise-grade settings and controls
Translate AI-powered and technically complex functionality into experiences that feel obvious and effortless
Produce wireframes, flows, prototypes, and production-ready high-fidelity UI, at pace
Define the design principles and quality bar for the platform and hold the team to it
Lead zero-friction design: remove every unnecessary step between a user signing up and getting to value

Design Systems and Platform

Own and evolve UX Pilot's design system, making it leaner, more scalable, and AI-aware
Define the patterns, components, and tokens that power consistent experiences across web, editor, and enterprise surfaces
Partner with engineering to ship system-wide improvements that compound across product teams
Build the foundations that let us move fast without breaking quality

Velocity and Craft

Ship at the speed AI SaaS demands: rapid iteration cycles, hands-on Figma execution, daily decisions
Balance individual contributor work with leading by example, including being deeply hands-on
Prototype and validate quickly with real users; ruthlessly cut what doesn't move the needle
Push the bar on visual craft, motion, and interaction quality

Cross-Functional Leadership

Work directly with the founder on product direction and strategic bets
Partner closely with product managers and engineering on roadmap, scoping, and tradeoffs
Collaborate with brand and marketing on consistent expression across all touchpoints
Mentor designers as the team grows

What We're Looking For

Experience

8+ years of product design experience, with proven impact on complex consumer or B2B SaaS products
Demonstrated experience with complex design systems and enterprise products
Track record of owning end-to-end product experiences, not just shipping features in isolation
Experience in a startup or scaleup environment, ideally in fast-paced AI or developer tools

Skills and Competencies

Expert in Figma and modern design system tooling
Excellent visual design with a sharp eye for typography, layout, motion, and detail
Strong systems thinking: you can hold the whole product in your head while shipping a single screen
Deep understanding of how to approach zero-friction design and lead users to aha moments quickly
The ability to make solid product and design decisions in ambiguous or complex problem spaces
Outstanding written and verbal communication

Velocity Mindset

You understand the velocity of shipping in the AI SaaS field and operate at that pace
Comfortable with rapid iteration, fast feedback loops, and daily prioritization
Bias for action: you'd rather ship and learn than polish in isolation

Why Join UX Pilot

High-Impact Role: Own the product experience that will drive our next phase of growth from $5M to $20M+ ARR. Your design decisions directly shape what tens of thousands of users see every day.
