Founding Designer

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're designing the interfaces for a new generation of AI products. You'll shape how users interact with complex systems – making powerful technology feel simple, intuitive, and trustworthy. Designing for AI presents unique challenges: How do you help users understand what the AI is doing? How do you build trust when outputs are probabilistic?

How do you create workflows that leverage AI capabilities without overwhelming users? You'll be solving these problems daily, defining interaction patterns that don't exist yet. This is a high-ownership role. You'll be the design voice in the room, working directly with founders, engineers, and customers to define what we build.

You should be comfortable with ambiguity, excited by constraints, and motivated by shipping products that real people use.
