Ui/ai Specialist

Johannesburg, GP, ZA, South Africa

Job Description

We are seeking remote UI/AI Specialist to join our team.


Key Responsibilities



User Interface & Experience Design

Design clean, intuitive, responsive interfaces using modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3, WCAG accessibility guidelines, etc.). Translate requirements and user stories into wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI assets. Conduct user-centric design iterations informed by testing, feedback, and analytics.

AI-Enhanced Design & Automation

Use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, Figma AI, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate layout generation, component creation, content drafting, and workflow optimization. Build reusable AI design prompts, templates, and automations that streamline production. Collaborate with engineering to integrate AI-driven elements directly into product experiences when applicable.

Front-End Alignment

Partner with developers to ensure designs translate accurately into production-ready components. Maintain and evolve design systems with an AI-accelerated approach (naming conventions, accessibility, component logic). Ensure consistency across web, mobile, and multi-platform experiences.

Innovation & Research

Stay current on UI trends, AI tools, and modern front-end frameworks. Explore emerging AI workflows that reduce repetitive tasks and enhance creativity. Recommend scalable solutions that keep the organization ahead of design and automation trends.

Requirements



3+ years in UI/UX, product design, or a related field. (If you can wield Figma like a lightsaber, we're listening.) Strong understanding of responsive design, user flows, and accessibility best practices. Must have an experience using AI tools for design, prototyping, content generation, or automation. Familiarity with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript frameworks) is strongly preferred. Needs to have coding capabilities, specifically for Shopify (Liquid code) and mobile-first elements. Marketplace experience (Amazon or similar) is important to ensure synergy and understanding of workflows. Ability to think strategically while sweating the pixel-perfect details. Excellent communication skills -- both with humans and with whatever AI companion you prefer.

Nice-to-Haves



Experience creating or maintaining a design system. Understanding of LLM prompts and workflows. Motion design / micro-interactions experience. Light humor and a healthy respect for robots... just in case.

What This Role Brings



The opportunity to help define a new hybrid discipline blending UI and AI.
