Backed by $81M in funding from Smash Capital, Madrona, and Goodwater Capital, Read AI is building the future of AI-powered collaboration. We believe great AI products require clarity, trust, and craft—and design plays a foundational role in making that real.

We are hiring a Senior Product Designer to own the live meeting and capture experience. Users should understand whether Read is working without having to monitor it, know what to do when something goes wrong, and feel confident that Read’s presence is appropriate for everyone in the room—including people who never signed up for the product.

Most AI products assume the user is looking directly s role asks a harder question: how can AI add value while staying secondary to the people in the conversation?

• Design how Read becomes ready, starts, pauses, recovers, and completes capture across desktop, mobile, web, bots, and native platform integrations
• Define how Read communicates its state so users can tell it is working without leaving the meeting
• Keep the meeting—not Read—as the user’s primary focus

• Design what happens when permissions are denied, platforms restrict access, or capture is interrupted or partial
• Make clear what was preserved, what was missed, and what the user can do next
• Help users create a useful meeting record from notes, whiteboard photos, files, and externally recorded media without implying that Read heard something it did not

• Balance transparency for participants with keeping the meeting focused and usable
• Work through the competing needs of the Read user, host, other participants, enterprise administrators, and platform providers

• Define one customer-facing model for capture state that holds across surfaces
• Decide what must remain consistent and where platform-specific patterns are the better answer
• Design for cases where capture mechanisms compete, conflict, or produce duplicate records

As the roadmap evolves, you will also shape live in-meeting assistance: notes, questions, and retrieval designed for latency, uncertainty, and revision, with a clear line between preliminary live content and the finished record.

• 5+ years of product design experience. We weigh the scope you have owned more heavily than the year count, but this role assumes you have already been the design owner of a hard problem area - not only a contributor to one
• Independent ownership of a complex product area in a shipped product, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong interaction and visual craft
• Experience designing multi-state experiences where edge cases, failure modes, and recovery paths are central to the problem
• Systems thinking that creates coherence across surfaces and…
