Product Associate UX / Intern / Working Student

TL;DR — Construction software looks like it was designed in 2000. Because most of it was. As Product Asociate, you define how alago looks, feels and behaves.

alago brings AI-powered project management to the construction industry. As our Product Associate, you'll own a core product areas end to end: how messy project data becomes an early warning that a €200M project is about to go wrong.

That's what we're fixing. 15 people, 30+ customers, €1M+ pre-seed from leading construction-tech VCs and one of Germany's largest project developers. The product is live and used daily on real construction sites — which means the interesting work is only starting.

Aufgaben

What you'll actually do

• Design the product. Take features from rough idea to high-fidelity UI. You'll work on the tools construction teams open every single day and make them feel effortless.
• Make AI feel right. Define how AI shows up in Alago and what it feels like to work with it. Nobody has solved this well for construction yet.
• Prototype and spec. Build clickable prototypes in Figma or with AI tools, and contribute to specs so the team can ship fast.
• Run discovery. Talk to users, research how other products solve similar problems, and turn what you find into concepts the team can build on.
• Grow the design system. Design components in Figma and work with engineers to build them.
• Make Alago look good everywhere. Brand, landing pages, launch materials, everything that carries the product outward.

Qualifikation

Must-haves

• Enrolled student in design, HCI, media informatics, architecture, or a related field.

Bonus points

• You have strong opinions on products you love and hate. You notice details other people miss.
• Experience with Figma Make, Claude, Cursor, Lovable or similar.
