Strength Tracking Wearable. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Fort is hiring a Founding Designer to define how Fort looks, feels, and communicates across product, brand, and growth. This person will shape the visual and product experience of a premium wearable for strength and health, focusing on the app with opportunities to oversee creative across other moments like product marketing, social, email, packaging, and community. You’ll be empowered with the best tools, a design-focused environment, and resources to work with or hire others into the design team at Fort.
What they're looking for
- Shape the Fort app experience across workout summaries, weekly progress, muscles trained, strength trends, recovery context, and health narratives
- Make training data feel clear, calm, useful, and emotionally resonant
- Help translate complex sensor data, strength tracking, and recovery signals into simple product moments people can actually understand and act on
- Design interfaces that feel premium and intelligent, not clinical, crowded, or gamified in a cheap way
- 5+ years of experience in product, mobile, or brand design
- An exceptional portfolio with strong taste, clear thinking, and polished execution
