The Role

Job Title: UX Researcher & Designer

Location: Berlin, Germany

Why this role matters

We recently shipped an early prototype of our core platform and now need dedicated UX leadership to validate and refine our direction. Without this dual-hat role, we cannot systematically run the research cycles and rapid UI iterations necessary to protect users from trust-based threats.

What you'll do

Full end-to-end ownership of UX research, interaction design, and UI execution across both consumer web and B2B SaaS interfaces.

• Design, execute, and analyze qualitative user interviews and quantitative usability studies.
• Rapidly prototype interactive web interfaces leveraging AI-assisted design tooling and Figma AI.
• Formulate sharp product hypotheses and run continuous test-validate-learn cycles.
• Analyze behavioral data and product analytics to directly inform interface iterations.
• Partner closely with our Berlin engineering team to evolve the product from prototype to product-market fit.

Who this is a fit for

• Proven track record designing consumer web interfaces and B2B SaaS tools in early-stage startups.
• Experienced running hands-on qualitative interviews and quantitative usability studies.
• High-velocity prototyper adept with modern interaction design and AI-assisted workflows.
• Data-fluent designer skilled in using analytics to validate behavioral hypotheses.
• Thrives in zero-to-one ambiguity with extreme autonomy and high agency.

What it's like to work here

The company operates in a highly fluid, early-stage environment where team cadences are actively being shaped. The operating rhythm centres on rapid feedback loops, pairing short daily syncs with weekly live syncs to stay closely aligned. Decisions are driven by data and hypothesis testing rather than top-down decree. The team values extreme autonomy, high agency, and comfort with ambiguity, operating out of the Berlin office to iterate rapidly from 0-to-1.

The offer

• End-to-end design ownership on a greenfield product with zero red tape.
• Rapid, hypothesis-driven iteration cycles backed by daily and weekly live syncs.
• Direct impact shaping our operating cadences and product culture from the Berlin office.
• High-agency environment where data and user feedback guide decisions, not top-down decrees.

This probably isn't for you if

• You come exclusively from a pure agency background and expect defined project briefs.
• You need structured processes and established design systems already in place.
• You prefer separating UX research from UI design rather than owning the full cycle.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
