Head of Design or Staff Design Engineer

ZO COMPUTER COMPANY is seeking a Head of Design or Staff Design Engineer.

Our cofounders Rob and Ben met on the early Venmo team and have been friends for 13 years. Rob was the founding engineer at Fin (a virtual assistant ahead of its time) and Substack. Ben had a long career at Stripe from . Our HQ is in Brooklyn (near SEY Coffee) and we have an office in San Francisco. This role is NYC only, and we work in-person.

Ben (cofounder): I don't consider myself a designer (or design engineer), but I do consider myself an artist. I make music  and find creative fulfillment in building beautiful software. I've been the de facto designer on the team thus far (product & marketing site). I'm open to chatting with folks that sit anywhere on the Design/Design Engineer spectrum, but you must be comfortable working with the medium (code) directly, and have a deep understanding of agents (through active personal use).

This is an IC role, and you will be responsible for implementing most of your ideas with steering from engineers.

• Seasoned engineer with 8+ years of experience.
• Capable of independently implementing designs while simultaneously up leveling the codebase.
• Exceptional communicator across mediums, with writing as the foundation.
• Patient, egoless seeker of truth and beauty through the timeless way of building.

If you're interested, please let me know by emailing your resume and portfolio to ben at zocomputer dot com.
