MMecka AI is hiringSenior UI/UX Designer

About Mecka AI

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.

We design and operate global systems for data labeling, data capture, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI and robotics teams. These products are used daily by operators, contributors, country managers, and customers across multiple countries.

Design quality matters. Our tools are operational, complex, and used at scale — clarity, speed, and usability are critical.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior UI/UX Designer based in Toronto to own product design end-to-end across Mecka’s web and mobile applications.

This is a 0→1 design role. You’ll build design systems from scratch, shape product direction, and turn complex operational workflows into beautiful, intuitive experiences. You’ll work closely with engineers, operators, and founders, shipping quickly and iterating in real production environments.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in early-stage startups and balances taste, speed, and practicality.

What You’ll Work On

Product & UX Design

• Design end-to-end user experiences for:

  • Web applications

  • Mobile applications

  • Internal operational tools

• Translate complex workflows (labeling, capture, ops) into clear, usable interfaces

• Own user flows, information architecture, and interaction design

Design Systems (0→1)

• Build and evolve Mecka’s design system from scratch

• Define components, patterns, and visual language

• Ensure consistency across products while enabling fast iteration

• Partner closely with engineers to ensure designs ship cleanly and scale well

AI-Assisted Design & Prototyping

• Use modern AI design and coding tools to accelerate iteration

• Build functional prototypes using tools like Claude Code, Codex, and similar

• Rapidly validate ideas by pairing design with lightweight implementation

• Help define how AI-assisted workflows fit into Mecka’s design process

Collaboration & Shipping

• Work closely with frontend engineers to ship high-quality UI

• Partner directly with founders and ops teams to understand real user needs

• Ship quickly, test in production, and iterate based on feedback

• Balance polish with speed — knowing when “good enough” is the right call

Who You Are

Required Experience

• 6+ years of experience in UI/UX or product design

• Proven experience taking products from 0→1

• Experience building design systems from scratch

• Strong portfolio showing end-to-end product ownership

• Experience designing web applications (mobile is a strong plus)

Strong Signals

• Experience designing mobile apps (iOS, Android, or cross-platform)

• Comfort using AI-powered design and prototyping tools

• Ability to go from idea → prototype → shipped UI quickly

• Strong visual taste paired with pragmatic UX judgment

• Experience shipping fast in early-stage or fast-moving environments

You Are

• Opinionated, but collaborative

• Fast, pragmatic, and detail-oriented

• Comfortable with ambiguity and incomplete requirements

• Excited to build foundational systems, not just features

• Motivated by real-world impact, not just visual polish

Why This Role

• Own design at a critical stage of Mecka’s growth

• Build foundational design systems used across the company

• Work directly with founders, engineers, and operators

• Ship real products used daily across global operations

• Shape how Mecka approaches product, UX, and design quality
