About A1

There are over 5 billion users using basic applications today such email, notes, tasks that are not AI-native. Our mission is to build a proactive smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows, with minimal prompting.

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. Our objective is to help users complete tasks daily enjoyable with over ~90%* reduced time.

Role

You will own the UX of A1's core app experience. This means designing the end-to-end flows users go through every day - how they start tasks, how they follow along as the AI works, how they stay in control, and how they recover when something goes wrong.

This is a UX role for a HCI product. You need to understand both user needs and AI system behavior well enough to design product flows that feel clear, reliable, and controllable.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Own UX for A1's core app surfaces across iOS, Android, and web.

  • Design complete user flows for AI-assisted tasks - from intent capture through to task completion, including handoff, progress tracking, and error recovery.

  • Design how the app surfaces what the AI is doing, what decisions it has made, and what the user needs to confirm or adjust.

  • Map and design the full range of AI states a user encounters - loading, thinking, acting, waiting, completing, stalling, failing, and recovering.

  • Work with product, engineering, and ML teams to define user requirements and translate them into concrete design solutions.

  • Conduct usability research to understand where users lose trust, feel uncertain, or disengage.

  • Produce wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity designs that engineering can build from directly.

  • Contribute to the design system and shared UX patterns for AI app surfaces.

  • Design for both simple everyday interactions and complex multi-step AI workflows within the same product.

What You Will Need

  • Experience as a UX designer on consumer mobile or web apps, with a strong portfolio.

  • Solid skills in user flow design, wireframing, and high-fidelity prototyping in Figma.

  • Ability to design for systems that are asynchronous, non-deterministic, and context-dependent.

  • Clear thinking about user trust, control, feedback, and transparency in AI-driven product experiences.

  • Experience conducting user research and turning findings into design decisions.

  • Comfortable working in fast-moving teams with evolving product scope.

  • Ability to balance simple consumer UX with complex AI system behavior.

  • Good judgment on usability, edge cases, failure handling, and recovery flows.
