This is a full-time opportunity based in the New York City with a fast growing, well-funded startup building AI native products at scale. The company is focused on transforming complex workflows into intuitive, high impact user experiences using cutting edge AI, modern frontend technologies, and a robust design foundation. You will join a small, high velocity team working across product, engineering, and leadership to define the future of an AI driven platform.

If you’re looking for a role where you can shape the entire design direction of a company from day one, this is it. As the first or senior design hire, you’ll own the full design lifecycle—from zero to one product strategy to polished visual execution—while partnering directly with founders and senior engineers. This is a rare chance to build a design system from scratch, influence product architecture, and ship AI powered workflows that meaningfully impact users’ lives. You’ll thrive here if you’re a high ownership builder who loves rapid iteration, enjoys working closely with customers, and wants to leave your fingerprints on a product, culture, and brand that will scale for years.
