We
are hiring a Head of Design to own product design and user
experience across the CASABOT platform. The role reports to
the Chief Executive Officer and inherits a small in-house team
of two.

This
is a hands-on leadership seat. The Head of Design will
contribute directly to the work, set the visual and
interaction language for the platform, and build out the team
over the next twelve to eighteen months. The trajectory is
genuine — strong performance in the role positions the seat to
evolve into Chief Design Officer.

What
you will own

•         Product design across the full CASABOT surface stack — HiveOS
UI, BOTty interaction, mobile (iOS and Android), web, and the
Augmented Reality experience.

•         The CASABOT design system — patterns, components,
accessibility standards, and design tokens.

•         Brand stewardship — visual identity, motion language, and the
consistency of how CASABOT shows up to customers, partners, and the public.

•         Cross-functional partnership with the acting Chief Technology
Officer, mobile engineering leads, and the Chief Revenue Officer on
customer-facing surfaces.

•         Hiring, mentoring, and growing the design organization as the
company scales.

First
ninety days

Three
priorities, in order:

1.       HiveOS UI — the in-home control surface customers and
installers see every day.

2.       Mobile — iOS and Android apps as the primary remote and
management touchpoint.

3.       BOTty interaction — the conversational and behavioral design
that defines the CASABOT personality.

Year
one and beyond

Expand
ownership into web, the Augmented Reality experience, and full
brand-system stewardship. Build the team — hiring decisions
are yours to recommend and lead. Establish design as a peer
function alongside engineering and commercial.​

The
temperament we need

CASABOT
is a startup. The Head of Design must work both smart and hard
— meeting deadlines is not optional, and the pressure is
constant. We need a leader who delivers under load, makes
decisions when information is imperfect, holds the line on
quality, and does not break when timelines tighten. We are
direct, ambitious, and we ship.

Location
and working arrangement

Based
in the United Arab Emirates is strongly preferred. Remote
candidates with substantial overlap to the Gulf Standard Time
business day will be considered. Some travel will be required.

Process

Direct
applications only. CASABOT is not engaging recruitment
agencies for this search. 

Shortlisted
candidates will meet with the Chief Executive Officer, the
acting Chief Technology Officer, and other senior members
of the leadership team.

Requirements

Required experience

•         Senior product design experience leading multi-platform
consumer products.

•         Proven track record of shipping at quality and on
schedule in a startup environment.

•         Direct experience hiring, leading, and developing design teams.

•         Deep, hands-on fluency in Figma and modern prototyping tools.

•         Comfort owning end-to-end work — research, interaction,
visual, prototyping, and design QA.

•         Track record of building and maintaining design systems
at scale.

Preferred experience

•         Smart home, consumer hardware, connected devices, or
premium hospitality technology.

•         Multi-surface design — mobile, web, embedded, and one or
more of: spatial, AR, or voice.

•         Brand-system fluency and the ability to partner with, or
replace, agency support.

•         Prior exposure to working in or near the Gulf region, or
to expanding businesses across Europe.

Benefits

Compensation

CASABOT
offers a competitive base salary calibrated to seniority and
experience.  Stock options form an integral part of the compensation

the Head of Design will participate meaningfully in the
company’s equity program. Specific figures, equity
allocation, and vesting terms will be discussed with
shortlisted candidates.
