About the Role
We're looking for a UI/UX Design Engineer who enjoys both designing user experiences and building them.
This isn't a traditional UI designer role, nor is it purely a frontend engineering position. You'll own the experience from concept to implementation—designing intuitive interfaces, creating polished interactions, and developing production-ready front-end components that bring those experiences to life.
You'll work closely with product, engineering, and AI creatives teams to build fast, elegant, and highly engaging user experiences for a consumer AI product.

**Important: Hiring Location Restriction

We will only consider applicants based in our specified hiring locations: **Japan, Singapore, China, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, and Eastern Europe.

Applications from candidates outside these locations will not be reviewed. Please apply only if you meet this requirement.

What You'll Do

• Design intuitive user flows, wireframes, mockups, and high-fidelity interfaces.
• Translate designs into responsive, production-ready front-end experiences.
• Build and maintain reusable UI components and contribute to our design system.
• Improve user experience by refining interactions, animations, accessibility, and visual consistency.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to rapidly prototype and iterate on new features.
• Help shape the overall product experience through thoughtful design decisions and technical implementation.
• Stay up to date with modern UI/UX trends, front-end technologies, and AI product experiences.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in UI/UX design, frontend engineering, or Design Engineering.
• Strong portfolio showcasing both product design and shipped web experiences.
• Proficiency with Figma for UI/UX design and prototyping.
• Strong frontend development skills using: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/TypeScript and React (preferred) or another modern frontend framework.
• Deep understanding of responsive design, accessibility, and modern web standards.
• Experience creating reusable UI components and design systems.
• Strong eye for typography, spacing, visual hierarchy, and interaction design.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with rapid iteration.

Nice to Have

• Experience with motion design and micro-interactions.
• Familiarity with Tailwind CSS or modern CSS frameworks.
• Experience building AI-powered products or consumer-facing SaaS applications.
• Knowledge of animation libraries such as Framer Motion or GSAP.
• Understanding of usability testing and UX research.

What Makes You Successful

• You care equally about how a product looks and how it works.
• You can move from an idea to a polished implementation without extensive handoffs.
• You enjoy solving UX problems with both design thinking and code.
• You thrive in fast-moving environments where shipping, learning, and iterating matter more than perfection.
• You're proactive, collaborative, and comfortable owning projects from start to finish.

Why Join Aurify?

• Build one of the fastest-growing AI consumer products.
• Work with cutting-edge AI technologies in image and video generation.
• Have a direct impact on product direction and user experience.
• Collaborate with a small, highly talented team that values speed, ownership, and craftsmanship.
• Shape experiences used by creators around the world.
