Senior Product Designer (UX/UI) Korrus Apps - AI-First Design

About OIO and Korrus

OIO is the consumer brand from Korrus, a lighting technology company built on more than 500 patents and co-founded by the Nobel laureate who invented the blue LED. Our products deliver biologically aligned light, the right spectrum at the right time of day, to support how people wake, focus, and rest. Our apps are how customers control that experience and understand what their light is doing for them.

Our apps are live today. They work, and they have taught us a great deal about how people actually use them. We are now rebuilding them on a stronger foundation, and we are looking for the right designer to lead that effort inside a new way of working.

The role

We are looking for a senior contract product designer to lead the design of the cross-platform mobile and tablet experiences across Korrus apps, beginning with OIO. This is both a UX and a UI role. You will own the flows, the information architecture, and the interface.

What makes this role different is how the work gets made. You will design alongside our engineering team inside AI-assisted and agentic AI workflows that take ideas to working application faster than a traditional design-to-development handoff ever could. We are not looking for someone to produce static design files and pass them downstream. We are looking for a designer who co-creates the product in real time with engineering and AI, and who is genuinely excited to deepen that practice.

To be clear about what is possible here: the current OIO interface was designed without a dedicated UI designer and without Figma, using AI alone. We are now bringing in design talent to elevate that work and help define how design and engineering build together in an AI-first environment.

This role reports to our VP, Engineering.

How we see the engagement

We expect this to begin with a focused discovery and audit phase: time for you to learn the products, review how customers use them today, and identify what to keep, what to fix, and what to rethink. From there, we will scope the work together. We are open to your input on the right shape and pace, and we value a designer who would rather scope the work properly than rush to a fixed timeline.

What you'll do

• Design the cross-platform mobile and tablet user interfaces and experiences across Korrus apps, starting with OIO
• Co-work directly with engineering inside AI-assisted and agentic AI workflows to take designs to working application
• Audit the current experiences and identify the gaps, friction points, and structural problems worth solving
• Review usage data and customer feedback, and conduct lightweight research where it sharpens the direction
• Rebuild the information architecture and core flows, from onboarding and device setup through daily use
• Translate the circadian science behind OIO into interfaces that feel simple, calm, and trustworthy
• Apply and extend the existing OIO brand system (the Organic Intelligence palette and visual language) into the apps
• Help shape how design and engineering work together as our AI-first development practice matures

What we're looking for

• A senior designer with a portfolio of shipped consumer mobile apps, including at least one redesign of a live product
• Genuine comfort with AI tools, and real curiosity about using AI to design and build faster; you want to learn more, not less
• Case studies that show how you diagnosed problems and made decisions, not just the final screens
• Depth in both UX (research, IA, interaction design) and UI (visual design, systems, polish)
• Previous experience with design tools such as Figma; deep mastery is less important than adaptability and a willingness to work in whatever toolchain moves the product forward
• The judgment to balance fixing what's broken with respecting what already works for existing users
• The ability to work independently, scope your own work, and make sound decisions with limited direction
• Experience with UX for iOS/Android apps

Strong pluses

• Experience designing inside AI-assisted or agentic development workflows
• Experience with health, wellness, sleep, or circadian products
• Experience designing companion apps for consumer hardware, including device pairing and connected-product flows

Logistics and rate

• Remote, with meaningful overlap with Pacific time zone working hours
• Contract role reporting to the VP, Engineering
• $100 to $140 per hour depending on experience, with the discovery phase scoped as a fixed fee

To be considered

Please share your portfolio along with two to three relevant case studies, ideally including a redesign of a live product. We are especially interested in any work you have done with AI tools in your design process. Finalists may be asked to complete a short paid design exercise so we can see how you work.
