## About the role

We’re looking for our first founding designer to define this system end to end, from the first prototype to the last pixel. Design a new interface for agents. Chat alone is not the answer. You’ll define generated interfaces, controls, progress states, review, and recovery for work ranging from cross-tool research and document creation to personalized outreach at scale.

## What they're looking for

- Taste. You can explain exactly why an interaction works, not just whether it looks good. Show us product designs you love and tell us what makes them exceptional
- Obsession with craft. You care about typography, spacing, motion, native platform conventions, and every detail between the happy path and the edge cases
- Systems thinking. You design reusable primitives and patterns, not one-off screens. Your work should solve today’s product needs while making the next ten ideas easier to build
- Proactivity. You create your own tasks. When something feels missing or below the bar, you propose a solution and improve it as if the product were your own
- We care more about the quality of your work and the slope of your growth than your credentials. Send us live products, prototypes, screenshots, or anything else that shows how you think and build
