About WerQ AI & This Opportunity :

Applying now allows us to connect early, streamline interviews, and have a rapid onboarding process once funding is secured. If you’re excited to help shape the future of work that is more people-centered, we’d love to hear from you!

  • Visual Design & Branding : Develop a cohesive aesthetic that aligns with WerQ AI’s brand values, ensuring consistency across all digital touchpoints.
  • User Research & Testing : Conduct user interviews, usability tests, and feedback sessions to validate design assumptions and iterate rapidly.
  • Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams : Partner with product managers, AI architects, and developers to ensure designs align with technical constraints and product goals.
  • Design Documentation & Guidelines : Maintain a centralized library of design assets, style guides, and component libraries for easy reuse and scalability.

Who You Are (Culture & Value Fit) :

  • Creative & Empathetic : You place the user at the center of every design decision, ensuring solutions address real-world needs and desires.
  • Innovative & Analytical : You combine a strong design sense with data-driven insights to continually refine user experiences.
  • Adaptive & Curious : You thrive in a fast-changing environment and embrace new tools, methods, and feedback loops.

  • Gamification Expertise : Proven experience implementing and applying the Octalysis gamification framework.
  • Prototyping & Design Tools : Proficient in tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD. Experience with motion design or interactive prototypes is a plus.
  • User-Centered Research & Testing : Ability to plan, conduct, and synthesize results from user research and usability studies.
  • Responsive & Accessible Design : Familiarity with WCAG standards, mobile-first principles, and adaptive layouts.
