About Us

We are building an enterprise-grade AI agent platform designed to power intelligent decision-making across complex, high-impact environments. Our system integrates advanced language models, structured data pipelines, and deterministic logic to deliver reliable, explainable, and production-ready intelligence.

Our focus is on creating systems that feel less like traditional software and more like high-performance operational interfaces - where users can navigate complex information, evaluate trade-offs, and act with confidence.


Role Overview

We are seeking a Visual Design Artist to reimagine and elevate the visual experience of our existing AI platform.

Your primary objective will be to redesign the current interface into a more dynamic, structured, and high-signal environment:

Reimagine the existing UI with inspiration from modern real-time strategy (RTS) interfaces -featuring structured information panels, layered data visualization, and responsive visual feedback - while avoiding overly “game-like” styling and ensuring a clean, professional, enterprise-ready experience.

This role is not about adding superficial “gamification,” but about designing a command-center-like interface that enhances clarity, speed, and decision-making.


What You’ll Be Designing

· A modular, panel-based UI system for complex workflows

· Data-dense dashboards with strong visual hierarchy

· Interfaces that clearly communicate system state, confidence, and outputs

· Interaction patterns that guide users through multi-step decision processes

· A cohesive visual system that balances depth with usability


Key Responsibilities

· Redesign the existing UI into a structured, high-performance interface

· Develop a cohesive visual language (color systems, typography, spacing, iconography)

· Create scalable design systems and reusable components

· Translate complex AI outputs into intuitive, visually digestible formats

· Design high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes

· Collaborate closely with product and engineering for implementation feasibility

· Iterate rapidly based on feedback and evolving product needs


Required Qualifications

· Proven experience in Visual Design / UI Design for complex digital products

· Strong portfolio showcasing data-rich, system-driven interfaces (SaaS, dashboards, or similar)

· High proficiency in tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or equivalent

· Strong understanding of layout systems, visual hierarchy, and information density

· Ability to simplify and structure complex workflows visually

· Strong communication and design rationale skills


Preferred Qualifications

· Experience designing enterprise software or AI-driven products

· Familiarity with RTS-style or system-heavy interface paradigms

· Experience with design systems at scale

· Understanding of frontend constraints (HTML/CSS basics)

· Motion design or micro-interaction experience

Design Direction (Important)

· Inspired by: strategy / RTS interfaces (clarity, structure, responsiveness)

· Avoid: overly stylized, playful, or “game-like” visuals

· Target feel: tactical, minimal, high-performance, and professional

· Outcome: a UI that feels like an operational command center, not a game

---

Deliverables

· Redesigned UI concepts and production-ready screens

· Design system / visual guidelines

· Interactive prototypes (where relevant)

· Developer-ready assets and specifications


Working Style

· High ownership and ability to work independently

· Fast iteration cycles with direct feedback loops

· Strong collaboration across product and engineering


How to Apply

Please share:

· Portfolio (required)

· Brief introduction

· Relevant project experience (especially complex or data-heavy interfaces)

· Availability and expected rate


Compensation £5,000 for the entire project.

Note: This is a project-based role with potential for extended collaboration based on performance.
