About The Position

OpenArt is an AI-native visual storytelling platform used by millions of creators worldwide. We build production-grade tools for AI image and video generation, with a focus on making advanced models usable, intuitive, and expressive for real users.
Our work sits at the intersection of creativity, storytelling, and applied AI. We care deeply about product clarity, usability, and translating powerful technology into experiences that feel natural and accessible.
We are looking for a Product UI/UX Designer to own the end-to-end design of core OpenArt workflows. This role is highly cross-functional and product-oriented, spanning user research, UX architecture, interaction design, and polished UI execution.
You will work closely with product, engineering, and research to define product direction, shape user journeys, and turn ambiguous ideas into clear, usable systems. This is a role for designers who think in flows and systems, not just screens.

Requirements

• Strong background in UX design with solid product thinking
• Experience designing systems, flows, and end-to-end user journeys
• Ability to translate user research and feedback into actionable design decisions
• Proficiency with design and prototyping tools such as Figma
• Strong UI fundamentals, with an emphasis on clarity and usability over decoration
• Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving product environments
• Clear product mindset and strong judgment around trade-offs
• Collaborative and open to feedback, iteration, and cross-functional work
• Proactive problem-solver who identifies opportunities and proposes solutions
• Strong communication skills, able to clearly explain design rationale and decisions
• Interest in learning and evolving alongside rapidly changing AI technology

Nice To Haves

• A product-focused designer who values UX architecture and systems thinking as much as visual polish
• Comfortable moving between user flows, interaction design, and prototyping
• Excited to work in a startup environment with high ownership and influence
• Interested in creativity, storytelling, and how AI can enable new forms of expression

Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end user experiences, from user journeys and interaction flows to detailed UI execution
• Translate user needs, research insights, and product requirements into clear, intuitive designs
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to define product direction and prioritize high-impact features
• Anticipate edge cases and secondary use cases, ensuring robustness and clarity across workflows
• Bring structure to ambiguous problem spaces by asking the right questions and synthesizing inputs
• Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that balance usability, creativity, and storytelling
• Contribute to a consistent design language that supports scalable product development
• Advocate for human-centered design in AI-powered products
