Role
Context
The Product Designer works within a cross-functional product squad alongside senior designers, Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders to improve digital experiences used by customers across talabat\'s platform. The role combines practical design execution with structured learning, giving the designer ownership of clearly scoped problems while benefiting from guidance and feedback from more experienced team members.
The position contributes directly to product usability, consistency, accessibility, and customer satisfaction. By understanding user behavior, applying design system standards, testing ideas, and iterating quickly, the designer helps turn product requirements into intuitive experiences that support both customer needs and business goals.
Key Responsibilities
* Build a strong understanding of the assigned product area, target users, and key customer journeys.
* Work with Product Managers and senior designers to understand the problem space before developing solutions.
* Translate clearly defined user and business problems into structured design concepts.
* Create user flows, wireframes, interaction patterns, prototypes, and high-fidelity interface designs.
* Use Figma and related tools to produce clear, implementation-ready product designs.
* Apply established design system components consistently across assigned features.
* Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or limitations within the design system and raise them with the appropriate design team.
* Participate in user interviews, usability testing, and other generative or evaluative research activities.
* Observe user behavior and help convert research findings into practical product improvements.
* Gather feedback from users, designers, Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders throughout the design process.
* Iterate designs based on evidence, critique, usability findings, and technical considerations.
* Present work regularly to the immediate squad to encourage early feedback.
* Participate actively in design critique sessions and cross-functional workshops.
* Explain design choices clearly and connect decisions to user needs and product objectives.
* Document design decisions, assumptions, constraints, and rationale for handoff and asynchronous review.
* Work closely with Engineers to clarify interactions, states, edge cases, and implementation details.
* Maintain attention to visual hierarchy, spacing, typography, consistency, and interaction quality.
* Contribute to journey mapping and user flow development when exploring customer experiences.
* Support usability testing preparation and help document findings.
* Organize design files so that work remains easy to review, update, and hand over.
* Manage assigned design tasks within agile sprint cycles with guidance from senior team members.
* Prioritize design work according to squad objectives and agreed delivery timelines.
* Explore AI-enabled design tools that can improve speed, ideation, research support, and production quality.
* Evaluate new design techniques and tools while maintaining appropriate quality standards.
* Continuously develop UX and UI skills through critique, feedback, peer learning, and industry awareness.
* Maintain curiosity about emerging consumer product patterns, interface standards, and digital behaviors.
* Take ownership of assigned product design problems from initial understanding through final handoff.
Ideal Profile
The preferred candidate has 1-2 years of full-time UX-UI or product design experience, ideally within a consumer-facing digital product, technology platform, marketplace, or mobile application environment.
A bachelor\'s degree in Fine Arts, Design, Visual Communication, Human Computer Interaction, or a related field is preferred. Candidates from other educational backgrounds may also be suitable when supported by a strong portfolio and relevant practical design experience.
A portfolio should demonstrate the complete design thinking process rather than only polished visual outputs. It should show how problems were understood, explored, validated, and translated into user-centered solutions.
Working knowledge of Figma and common prototyping tools is important. Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools and a willingness to explore emerging workflows would be advantageous.
Candidates should understand core UX practices such as user flows, journey mapping, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and iterative interface design. Strong attention to detail is essential, together with genuine interest in how products look, feel, and function.
The role suits someone who communicates clearly, asks thoughtful questions, responds positively to direct feedback, and is comfortable improving work through repeated iteration. Good organization and the ability to manage individual tasks within an agile sprint environment are also important.
