UI/UX Designer

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.

What You'll Do

• 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., 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

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.
