UI/UX Designer
You lead design where the human decides and the machine executes. AI tools generate and iterate; you own the taste, hierarchy, typography, RTL correctness, and accessibility they cannot. No manual pixel-pushing — the decision is always yours, never the model.
Our industry moves fast, and what we need from you will change with it — sometimes quickly. That's not the fine print; it's the reason the work stays interesting. We want people who treat change as fuel: they learn fast, stay curious, and stay ahead of the curve instead of chasing it.
- Own Alsheikh Media's visual identity: brand, color, typography, and imagery. The single source of truth for how we look on every product, channel, and post.
- Own the ASM design system across our products — Arabic-first typography, RTL layouts, dark mode, accessibility — as the source of truth the AI output must clear.
- Direct AI design tools to generate and iterate; you run the editing room — pick the direction, kill the wrong options, catch when the model is confidently wrong.
- Design the talent marketplace and business directory end to end: profiles, project matching, agency discovery, verification flows, trust signals, search.
- Taste is the job: 3+ years bilingual product design where Arabic is not translated English. AI executes; your judgment decides what is right.
- Ship to production with no handoff — read and correct what AI generates, whatever framework we build on.
- Live exercise, not a portfolio recital: show what you discarded and where the tool misled you.
What we look for, beyond skills
- You are a Manager of One. You set your own direction, organize your work, and ship without being told.
- You ship. Day one, week one: real code, real features, real users. No months-long onboarding.
- You build multilingual-first. Every interface you design works in Arabic and English from the start.
- You use AI tools, aggressively. If you resent them or haven't tried them, we are not the right team.
- Your degree is not the point. We don't require a university degree or any certificate: if you have them, they're a bonus; if you don't, your work is what we judge.
- We hire talent, not paper. AI has let hard-working people learn on the internet and ship real work, at 20 or 40. We want people who believe in their talent, not their credentials.
- You write and speak English. Our code, docs, and async communication are in English.
- You want to build for the Arabic world. The team reflects the users we serve.
- You are comfortable on camera. We are a media company: we film our work and our office. You do not have to make content, but you have to be comfortable being in it. If that bothers you, this is not the place.
- You are willing to teach. We run community workshops, courses, and knowledge-sharing programs. Every team member contributes, whether it's AI literacy, web development, or product design.
The truth about working with us
- We pay in USD, on time, always. That is the commitment we keep.
- We are small: 3 people and the two founders. No politics, no alignment meetings, no bureaucracy. Just build.
- We work calm, focused hours. 40-hour weeks, no heroics, weekends are yours. Speed comes from focus, not grinding.
- We are in Syria and the UAE. Power cuts happen. Internet drops. Sanctions and currency shifts are quarterly realities.
- We tell you the truth during hiring. Our retention depends on it.
- We would rather run understaffed for 3 months than hire the wrong person.
