Mercor is recruiting UK-based UX/UI Product Designers with technical web engineering experience for a research project with a leading frontier AI lab.

We are seeking experienced UX/UI designers who have worked on end-to-end digital product design and have a strong understanding of how modern web products are built. Candidates should be comfortable working across user experience, interface design, product flows, technical constraints, and design-to-engineering handoff.

This role is focused on digital product design, not brand identity or marketing-site-only design. Strong candidates should have experience designing functional web products such as e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, customer portals, booking flows, onboarding journeys, checkout experiences, or internal operations dashboards.

💡 Important Note for Applicants: To maximize your chances of success, please read our Mercor Candidate Guide before applying. It covers crucial information about their AI matching process, background checks, and payment policies.

• Logged-in customer portals and self-serve platforms
• Internal tools, admin panels, or operations dashboards
• Product design systems and component-based design
• Design-to-engineering handoff and implementation collaboration
• Working closely with product managers, engineers, and data/analytics teams
• Understanding front-end engineering constraints, responsive design, and web implementation tradeoffs

Preferred candidates have experience at one or more of the following companies:

• Publicis Sapient
• Red Badger
• Valtech
• Kin + Carta
• ustwo
• EPAM Continuum, specifically Experience Design / Product Design roles
• Or another leading digital product, UX/UI, or product engineering studio

You’ll help create, review, and evaluate high-quality UX/UI product scenarios, leveraging your experience in product design, web interfaces, user flows, and design-engineering collaboration.

The vetting process involves:

• Resume and portfolio review
• Short interview evaluating UX/UI product design and web product expertise
