We're building the operating system for the next generation of computing — one where AI agents replace apps and your technology finally works for you instead of the other way around. We're a stealth-mode startup with a world-class founding team with deep roots in consumer AI, extended reality, and wearable technology — including founders of some of the most recognizable hardware and software platforms of the last decade. We're backed by strategic partnerships with leading silicon and manufacturing companies, and we're hiring our first designer to define the interaction language of a platform that has never existed before.
You will define what it means to interact with always-on AI when there are no apps, no menus, and no conventions to fall back on. Meaningful early-stage equity Full medical, dental, and vision coverage Fully remote with occasional in-person time in Silicon Valley or Paris for key milestones We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for all employees. The hardest design problem in consumer technology right now is also the one nobody has solved yet — what does an agent-first, always-on AI experience actually feel like to use?
As our first Design Lead you will own those solutions. You will work directly with the CPO to define the interaction model across our mobile app and our wearable platform — designing user flows, interaction patterns, and experience frameworks for a paradigm that has almost no reference points in the existing design canon. You will be doing the work — wireframes, prototypes, user flows, interaction specifications — not managing a team of designers.
You will collaborate closely with the iOS, Android, and AI engineering teams to ensure that what you design can be built, and that what gets built matches what you designed.
We actively use AI tools across our team — including AI design and development tools — and expect someone who has a genuine point of view on how to use them well. What You'll Design The core interaction model for our agentic platform — defining what it means to interact with an always-on AI agent The companion mode experience — the in-app preview that gives early mobile users a window into what the platform will feel like as a wearable, before the hardware ships Onboarding and trust architecture — the flows that introduce a genuinely novel paradigm to users who have never experienced anything like it, and earn their permission to be always-on A design system and component library — the reusable patterns and specifications that let the engineering team build consistently and let the design language scale as the platform grows Prototype and test rapidly — using high-fidelity prototypes to validate interaction hypotheses with real users before committing them to production code 5+ years of UX and product design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating interaction design depth — not just visual polish ~ Proven experience designing for novel or unconventional interaction paradigms — voice interfaces, ambient computing, conversational AI, wearables, or AR are all directly relevant ~ Strong systems thinking — you design interaction patterns that scale, not one-off screens ~ Experience designing for mobile platforms — deep understanding of iOS and Android interaction conventions, and equal comfort knowing when to break them ~ Strong written English and proven ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams in a remote environment ~ zero‑UI or voice‑first interaction design; consumer AI product experience; familiarity with on‑device AI capabilities and constraints #
