Vienna, VA (On-Site/Office)
Job Description:
This isn’t a traditional UX role focused on process ceremonies and long research cycles — it’s a
builder role at the center of an early AI platform. We’re looking for a hands-on UI/UX designer
who can translate deep technical capabilities into a product experience that is clear, fast, and
visually compelling. You won’t just refine flows — you’ll define them. You won’t wait for perfect
inputs — you’ll create momentum and direction.
Our ideal candidate is energized by early-stage product work and understands how to design
under uncertainty. You are comfortable working from evolving requirements, incomplete data,
and fast feedback loops. You know how to study the competitive landscape, extract best
practices, and rapidly shape them into a differentiated product identity. You care about usability,
but you also care about product velocity and business impact.
This role is especially well suited for designers who want something new and highly relevant -
moving out of slow-moving projects, government programs, or legacy technologies into a fast,
product-driven AI platform. If you’ve been looking for a way to apply your skills to modern AI
products with real user impact and rapid iteration, this is an opportunity to reset your trajectory.
You’ll work directly with engineering, product strategy, and sales/marketing leadership to shape
the primary user experience of the Holokai platform — from our desktop Chat Enablement
interface to our SaaS administrative control plane. If you enjoy turning complex systems into
intuitive products and want visible ownership over the user experience of an emerging AI
platform, this role provides that opportunity.
About Holokai
Holokai is building a platform to accelerate the secure, rational adoption of Enterprise AI. Our product enables organizations to safely deploy AI tools through model access controls, governance guards, and policy enforcement — while still delivering strong user productivity through a desktop chat experience and integrated AI workflows.
We are an early-stage startup with pilot customers, rapid product iteration, and direct customer feedback loops. Designers at Holokai work close to product decisions and engineering implementation, not as a downstream function but as a core part of product creation.
Who Thrives in This Role
Designers with commercial startup or SaaS product experience who want greater ownership and product influence
Designers currently supporting legacy technologies or less relevant use cases who want to transition to modern AI product design
Designers who relocated to the DC metro area from commercial tech hubs and want to stay in product-focused work
High-talent early-career designers or recent graduates with strong portfolios and high learning velocity
Builders who prefer shipping and iteration over heavy process and documentation cycles
Designers who enjoy working directly with engineers and shaping product direction early
Duties/ Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end UI/UX design of the Holokai product across desktop and SaaS platform interfaces
Translate complex AI, security, and governance capabilities into intuitive, user-centered workflows
Design clean, visually strong interfaces that highlight product differentiators and build product trust
Create wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and production-ready design assets
Establish and evolve Holokai’s visual and interaction identity across the platform
Work directly with engineers to ensure designs are practical, implementable, and performant
Partner with product, sales, and marketing to align UX with adoption and growth goals
Incorporate feedback from pilot customers and early users into rapid design iterations
Evaluate competitor and adjacent products to identify usability patterns and opportunities
Contribute directly to front-end implementation where practical (design systems, components, styling)
Required Skills/Abilities
Strong portfolio demonstrating shipped product UI/UX work for modern SaaS or desktop applications
Ability to design for complex technical products and data-rich interfaces
Demonstrated ability to design and ship product features with limited structure and evolving requirements
Comfort making strong design decisions without extensive formal user research infrastructure
Portfolio examples showing practical, production-oriented interface work — not only conceptual exercises
High proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (Figma or equivalent)
Ability to move quickly from concept to production-quality design artifacts
Strong visual design skills including layout, typography, and interaction clarity
Practical understanding of frontend constraints and implementation tradeoffs
Ability to collaborate tightly with engineering teams
Self-directed with high ownership and bias toward action
Strong communication skills and ability to justify design decisions
Comfort working in early-stage startup environments with rapid iteration cycles
U.S. Citizenship required
Nice to Have Skills
Experience contributing to design systems or reusable component libraries
Frontend implementation experience (React, Angular, or similar frameworks)
Experience designing AI, analytics, security, or workflowdriven interfaces
Brand and visual identity development experience
Education and Experience:
Bachelor’s Degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Travel Requirement:
Occasional travel may be required
