About MAGIC AI

MAGIC AIis an elegant in-home health coach that utilises computer vision, connected weights, and 3D cameras to provide personalised training sessions led by world-renowned athletes. We have gained recognition and exposure, being stocked in Selfridges, featured on Good Morning Britain, and listed as one of Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies of 2024. With just a small team, our company achieved a substantial revenue rate during its first financial year.

MAGIC AI is the pioneer in offering users the opportunity to perform exercises in front of an intelligent hologram mirror. Our cutting-edge proprietary computer vision software enables real-time form correction, rep counting, and live feedback, resulting in a fully customised workout experience. We have also collaborated with top athletes to create exclusive workout content, revolutionising the way users can be trained in sports, strength training, yoga, dance, and more. With us, individuals can benefit from personalised tracking and feedback, as if being privately coached and corrected by the world's best, without the hefty fees typically associated with personal training.

We have secured venture capital funding from prominent multi-billion-dollar VC funds, who have also invested in well-known companies such as Grover, Scalapay, Onfido, as well as notable founders and angels from Spotify, Stripe, Facebook, Hopin, and Tough Mudder.


About the Role

We are hiring the company's first Senior Product Designer, who will take ownership of design across all aspects of our organisation, spanning from the mirror application to the website, marketing assets, and ideally hardware. Currently, most of these responsibilities are managed by our freelance designer and our CPO, with whom you will collaborate closely. Our small team consists of highly accomplished individuals, each having achieved prior exits. You will find this role to be highly fulfilling.

What is Involved

  • Collaborate closely with our CPO and freelance designer to take charge of product design, championing a user-centred design approach.
  • Take charge of design for the mirror application, website, marketing assets, and potentially the hardware (mirror, bench & dumbbells).
  • Lead the discovery process and conduct frequent user research, including interviews and testing, in conjunction with the CPO.
  • Evaluate and implement design systems to facilitate effective communication with developers.
  • Opportunity to potentially assume a leadership role as the design team expands.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience in product design or UI/UX design within a startup / high growth environment.
  • Demonstrated experience of creating and managing design systems and design assets.
  • Highly product minded with a good understanding of how to build products.
  • Proficiency in using Figma and project management tools like JIRA.
  • Meticulous and thorough in paying attention to details.
  • Experience collaborating in Agile Scrum teams.
  • Self-motivated and capable of working independently.
  • Able to work effectively and cooperatively in a team setting.
  • You don't have to be a regular gym-goer, but you should be passionate about developing technology that will revolutionise how people exercise!

Nice to Haves

  • Experience in designing software for Human Machine Interfaces, such as smart appliances (e.g., fridges and microwaves), in-car displays, and preferably smart mirrors.
  • Experience designing physical products, not just software.
  • Having previous experience or knowledge as a developer is beneficial, particularly with an understanding of how software interfaces are constructed (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).
  • Passion for fitness, ideally with experience building fitness products and working out.
  • Having a deep understanding of behavioural psychology and human-computer interaction patterns.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary.
  • Share Options in the company.
  • An impact from day one. Our business is scaling by the day. You'll work on ambitious projects, and your contribution will significantly impact the success of MAGIC AI now and in the future.
  • Unlimited Holiday (self-directed time off)
  • Flexible Home/Hybrid Working from our London HQ (At least 2 days WFH per week)
  • Mental Health Wellbeing support
  • Hardware budget for brand new Macbook or other.
  • Professional learning & development budget.
  • All. The. Fun. Regular awesome socials.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
