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.

What You'll Do

Own product design end-to-end: user research, information architecture, interaction design, and visual design

Define interaction patterns for AI-native workflows, surfacing AI capabilities, handling uncertainty, and building user trust

Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that communicate product vision clearly

Conduct user research – interviews, usability testing, data analysis and translate insights into product decisions

Build and maintain design systems that enable consistent, high-quality UI across the product

Work closely with engineers through implementation, ensuring design quality in the final product

Define a clear UX vision and strategy for how enterprise users interact with AI-powered workflows, balancing innovation with usability

Contribute to product strategy and roadmap discussions as a key voice in what we build
