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.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
