About Rahal

Rahal is the travel mini-app inside Iraq’s Super Qi ecosystem; a Rocketship redefining how millions of travelers search, book, and manage journeys across flights, hotels, and digital services. We make travel simple, safe, and accessible to everyone, everywhere.

As part of a fast-growing travel-tech team spanning Iraq and the UAE, you’ll design experiences that inspire confidence, delight, and connection for every traveler who books with Rahal.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a hands-on Product Designer who can turn ideas into elegant, human-centered digital experiences.

In this role, you’ll design the future of travel booking for millions of Qi users; from seamless flight and hotel journeys to emerging experiences like eSIMs and trip management. You’ll work hand-in-hand with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to craft design that feels effortless, trustworthy, and distinctly Rahal. You’ll translate Rahal’s traveler-first vision into intuitive experiences, lead agile delivery with cross-functional teams, and continuously improve our OTA systems (flights, hotels, and digital add-ons like eSIMs)

This is a hands-on role for a creative who obsesses over details, thrives in ambiguity, and brings a deep empathy for users across the MENA region.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Execution

  • Lead the full design lifecycle -from concept sketches and wireframes to final high-fidelity visuals and developer-ready assets.
  • Create design systems and component libraries that unify Rahal’s brand experience across the Super Qi ecosystem.
  • Maintain design consistency while championing usability, accessibility, and performance.

User Insight & Testing

  • Translate user data and qualitative research into actionable design decisions.
  • Build and iterate interactive prototypes using Figma to test hypotheses and validate flows with real users.
  • Conduct usability tests and A/B experiments to continuously improve the traveler experience.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Marketers to ensure designs meet traveler needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
  • Provide clear design specifications, interaction logic, and motion principles for development handoff.
  • Conduct post-launch QA to ensure every pixel matches the design vision and performance expectations.

Innovation & Craft

  • Stay ahead of UX trends in OTA, travel, and super-app ecosystems, integrating best practices from leaders like Booking.com, Hopper, and Careem.
  • Push creative boundaries-explore how AI, personalization, and dynamic content can make Rahal the most loved travel companion in the region.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 2+ years in UX/UI or Product Design, ideally for mobile-first consumer products.
  • Tools: Mastery in Figma for design, component creation, and prototyping.
  • Portfolio: A strong, modern portfolio that demonstrates user-centered design thinking and clean, scalable interface solutions.
  • Process: Experience designing end-to-end journeys- discovery, booking, payment, post-trip -or equivalent high-stakes transactional flows.
  • Communication: Excellent collaboration and presentation skills; able to articulate rationale and guide stakeholders through design decisions.

Highly Desired

  • Travel-Tech or Hospitality Experience: Understanding of OTA, booking, or loyalty ecosystems.
  • Regional Insight: Familiarity with Arabic UX/UI, cultural nuances, and accessibility in the MENA context.
  • Motion & Microinteractions: Bonus if you can bring experiences to life through animation and transitions that enhance usability and delight.

Personality Traits

  • 🔥 Biased for Action — thrives in ambiguity, acts fast, and learns even faster.
  • 🌍 Traveler-Obsessed — every decision starts with “How does this help the traveler?”
  • 🤝 Team Player — collaborates naturally across functions and geographies.
  • ⚙️ Operator Mindset — thrives in start-ups and scale-ups; comfortable navigating growth and chaos.
  • 🎯 Strategic & Executional — balances long-term vision with hands-on delivery discipline.

Why Rahal

  • Be part of Iraq’s fastest-growing travel platform inside the Super Qi ecosystem.
  • Work with passionate builders shaping the future of digital travel in the Middle East.
  • Solve real traveler problems at scale, from seamless flight booking to next-gen loyalty.
  • Join a Rocketship where ownership, speed, and creativity truly matter.
