UX/UI Designer — United States

About The Company

Ajaia is an AI implementation consultancy and product studio dedicated to helping organizations transition from AI experimentation to achieving measurable returns on investment. Our expertise spans four core practices: AI Strategy and Advisory, Workforce Training and Enablement, Process Optimization, and Custom AI Development. We engage directly with executives and frontline workers to ensure that our AI solutions result in tangible changes in production environments, rather than merely impressive pilot presentations. At Ajaia, our focus is on real-world impact and sustainable transformation.

About The Role

Ajaia is seeking a highly skilled Digital Product Designer to lead discovery and design efforts across client engagements as well as Ajaia’s internal product suite. This role requires a hands-on approach where you will conduct user research, observe workflows, and transform insights into user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes that engineers can confidently build from. You will validate designs with real users prior to development and uphold the highest standards for the look and behavior of all products delivered by Ajaia.

This position is fully remote, with all discovery, user testing, and collaboration conducted online. The ideal candidate will be fluent in leveraging AI tools to accelerate research, synthesis, and prototyping while maintaining a critical eye to ensure quality and usability. Compensation ranges from $10,000 to $14,000 base salary per month, depending on experience, plus a performance bonus of up to 100% of base salary.

Qualifications

• Proven expertise in user research, synthesis, and design of digital products.

• Experience conducting interviews, usability testing, and behavioral data analysis.

• Strong proficiency in creating user journeys, wireframes, and interactive prototypes.

• Ability to integrate human checkpoints within AI-native workflows effectively.

• Fluency in using AI tools daily for research, synthesis, and prototyping.

• Comfortable collaborating closely with engineering teams through the build process.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to advocate design decisions based on evidence.

• Fully remote work capability, including conducting interviews and user testing via video conferencing.

• Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required; hiring decisions are based on demonstrated work quality.

• Nice to have: public portfolio or case studies, experience designing AI-native workflows, consulting or agency experience, and familiarity with lightweight front-end implementation.

Responsibilities

• Conduct discovery on client projects by interviewing users and observing their workflows through screen sharing.

• Engage with users of Ajaia’s internal products with the same rigor as client engagements.

• Synthesize user research findings into clear, evidence-backed user needs distinct from requested features.

• Create detailed user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes that engineers can implement without ambiguity.

• Design and embed human approval checkpoints within workflows rather than as afterthoughts.

• Test designs with real users before any production code is written.

• Challenge stakeholder feature requests constructively when evidence suggests alternative solutions.

• Maintain and evolve design standards across all Ajaia products to ensure consistency.

• Leverage AI tools as a default part of the design process, discerning when manual intervention is necessary.

• Provide design deliverables that enable engineers to begin development immediately and remain engaged during implementation to ensure fidelity.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary ranging from $10,000 to $14,000 monthly based on experience.

• Performance bonus opportunity up to 100% of base salary.

• Fully remote work environment with flexible scheduling.

• Opportunity to work on innovative AI projects with a forward-thinking team.

• Continuous learning and growth in AI-driven design methodologies.
