Design intuitive end-to-end product experiences and create high-fidelity interfaces for grocery shopping digital experience.
Responsibilities
- We're looking for a UI/UX Designer with exceptional instincts, strong visual craft, and an obsession with interactive design.
- This role sits equally across UX thinking and UI execution. One day you might be simplifying a complex decision-making flow; the next you'll be refining typography, spacing and motion until every interaction feels natural.
- You'll work directly alongside our Head of Design to shape the end-to-end shopper experience, from early concepts through to polished production interfaces.
- You'll design flows, interactions, prototypes and systems that solve real problems for real shoppers inside real stores.
- You'll help evolve the design system that underpins the product.
- Design intuitive end-to-end product experiences, from discovery and concept exploration through to polished production UI.
- Turn complex user problems into simple, elegant interaction flows.
- Create high-fidelity interfaces with exceptional attention to typography, spacing, hierarchy and visual detail.
- Build interactive prototypes to communicate ideas, validate assumptions and refine experiences before development.
- Use motion and micro-interactions intentionally to improve clarity, feedback and delight.
- Partner closely with engineers to ensure the quality of shipped experiences matches the quality of the design.
- Contribute to and evolve our design system, including components, tokens, patterns and documentation.
- Use AI throughout your workflow to explore concepts, generate ideas, prototype faster and improve design quality.
- Observe real shoppers using the product in stores and translate behavioural insights into better experiences.
Nice to have
- Experience creating or scaling a design system from the ground up.
- Motion design skills with a strong understanding of meaningful animation and interaction.
- Familiarity with Tokens Studio, design-to-code workflows and modern frontend collaboration.
- Experience contributing beyond product into brand systems and visual identity.
- Previous startup experience.
- Experience designing AI-powered or consumer-facing products.
Conditions
- Competitive salary backed by leading venture capital investors.
- Meaningful equity in a company building for the long term.
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
- The opportunity to define the UX of a product millions of people could use every week.
Other
- At algo1, we're reimagining one of the world's most overlooked digital experiences: grocery shopping.
- Every week, billions of people make hundreds of decisions in stores, often distracted, in a hurry, and with little patience for technology that gets in their way. We believe AI can transform this experience, but only if it's paired with exceptional UX and design.
- 3–5 years designing digital products across UX and UI.
- A portfolio demonstrating thoughtful interaction design and beautifully crafted interfaces.
- Strong user experience skills with the ability to simplify complex workflows.
- Excellent visual design fundamentals, including typography, layout, spacing, colour and hierarchy.
- Experience building and evolving design systems using reusable components, tokens and patterns.
- Highly proficient in Figma, prototyping and modern product design workflows.
- Strong understanding of interaction design, usability and accessibility principles.
- Comfortable using AI as part of your everyday design process.
- Thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where shipping and learning happen quickly.
- This is primarily an office-based role for someone who enjoys sketching ideas together, reviewing prototypes side by side, and rapidly iterating with designers and engineers throughout the day.
- Our office overlooks what we think is London's best garden square, just a couple of minutes from Tottenham Court Road.
