UX / UI Designer

About Us

Afori is changing the way of work in one of the world’s largest industries: insurance.

We are an AI-first company with a vision to enable the insurance industry to embrace an agentic world. We do this by crafting AI agents built for the insurance sector that simplify brokers' everyday work. Our platform automates backoffice tasks, starting with their most frequented tool: the email inbox. Afori AI understands insurance processes, eliminates manual workflows, and uncovers growth opportunities.

All of this while fostering a culture of radical candor, high performance, and relentless problem-solving for our customers, while having a lot of fun🙂.

In just a few months, we launched our first product and onboarded the first users, raised a 12x oversubscribed €4m seed round from General Catalyst (early investors in Airbnb, Stripe, Mistral) and high-profile angels (Mustafa Suleyman, CEO Microsoft AI; Alex Rinke, Founder & Co-CEO Celonis; Christopher Lohmann, ex CEO HDI & Gothaer).

We are an experienced founder team with deep sector understanding, as well as strong understanding of how to scale a startup, having built Insurtech unicorn wefox (peak valuation of €4.5bn) before. You will get the opportunity to join a fast-scaling startup as one of the first employees and significantly shape the future of the company and the insurance industry.

Your Impact

As UX/UI Designer at Afori, you will own the end-to-end user experience for our AI-powered product that simplify's the brokers every day work. You will turn complex processes, insurance context, and AI-driven automations into simple, elegant, intuitive user journeys.

Your work will directly shape how thousands of insurance professionals experience AI in their daily workflows; from Outlook-based inbox workflows to deep operational processes and agentic task flows.

This is a role for someone who loves transforming messy workflows into beautiful clarity and designing products that customers immediately understand and love.

- Rapid Prototyping: Develop prototypes (low- and high-fidelity) to test ideas quickly with customers and engineering.
- Design System Creation: Build and maintain our first design system to ensure consistency, simplicity, and speed.
- Shipping Mindset: Work end-to-end with engineering to ensure implementation quality and iterate fast after launch.
