We’re developing AI-driven systems that automatically create, refine, and experiment with software experiences. Our team is small, fast-moving, and backed by strong investors. We're growing quickly and looking for someone to take ownership of design across our product.

Backed by Y Combinator, Gradient, and leaders from companies like Uber, OpenAI, and Meta.

What You’ll Work On

• Designing end-to-end user flows for our AI-powered experience editor
• Shaping the workflows for generating, reviewing, and iterating on auto-created product experiences
• Working on experimentation flows, insights, and result interpretation
• Partnering closely with engineers to navigate UX decisions and elevate design quality
• Building out our visual identity and establishing a cohesive design system
• Collaborating with the founders on product direction and early team-building
• Talking directly with users to simplify the product and identify improvements
• Taking on additional responsibilities as needed in a fast-moving environment 👷

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a designer who can also implement — or an engineer with strong design instincts.

You should have:

• 1–4+ years in product design, frontend engineering, or a hybrid design/engineering role
• Proficiency with modern frontend tools (React, Type Script, CSS)
• Excellent visual taste and attention to detail
• A history of simplifying complex flows and making them intuitive
• Comfort working across product, design, and engineering functions

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with frontend performance optimization
• Background in branding, design systems, or visual identity work
• Founder or early-stage startup experience
• Experience with mobile UI (iOS/Android, Flutter, React Native, etc.)

When This Role Might Not Be a Match

• You prefer long, polished design cycles with extensive iteration
• You don’t want to talk to customers or own features end-to-end
• You prefer working in a narrow part of the product rather than broadly across the stack

Requirements

• 1–4+ years of relevant design or design+engineering experience
• Full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco (Mon–Sat schedule)
• Must be located in the Bay Area or willing to relocate before starting
• US work authorization required; O-1 sponsorship may be possible for exceptional candidates

  Tailwind, Shadcn
• AI: modern SDKs and model integrations

• Seniority level
  
  Mid-Senior level
