About The Client
Our client is a stealth-mode communications and AI startup founded by early Facebook product engineers. Backed by top-tier venture capital and respected angel investors, they are rethinking how people connect and get work done, combining the power of AI with human-centered design.
The founders are engineers with a strong eye for UI, and every pixel in the product so far has come from them. Now they’re looking for their first design partner: the fourth person to join the team, and the first hire outside of the founders. That’s how much they value design.
What You’ll Do
Looking for a Founding Product Designer who can move fast, design with clarity, and bring ideas to life on screen. This role is hands-on: prototyping, iterating, and shipping product with speed and precision.
You’ll design for web and mobile (iOS/Android), helping to solve complex product challenges like how AI fits into human workflows, whilst ensuring the product feels personal, intuitive, and connected.
- Design intuitive, aesthetically sharp experiences across web and mobile. 
- Rapidly prototype and iterate in Figma (or your preferred tools). 
- Collaborate daily with founders to turn product ideas into polished UI. 
- Balance speed with user insight, always considering real-world use cases. 
- Explore new ways to integrate AI while keeping human connection at the center. 
- Bring fresh ideas, challenge assumptions, and push the team to think differently. 
What You’ll Bring
- Strong track record designing consumer-grade products with high aesthetic quality. 
- Skilled at simplifying complex problems into elegant user experiences. 
- Scrappy and execution-focused—you get pixels on screen fast. 
- Comfortable with ambiguity and motivated to shape a product from zero to one. 
- Open, collaborative, and able to give and receive feedback well. 
- Bonus: technical fluency or ability to tweak code (e.g. CSS, HTML, React, React Native) (not required). 
Why Join Us
- Impact from day one: Shape the product and company from the ground up. 
- Design-led culture: Work with founders who deeply value design. 
- Strong backing: Supported by leading VCs and respected angel investors. 
If you’re excited to design the future of AI-powered communication, we’d love to hear from you!
