- **End-to-End Design Ownership**: Lead complete design projects from ideation to implementation, partnering with engineers and other stakeholders to iterate and refine designs based on feedback.
- **Rapid Execution of Features**: Develop user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups, focusing on delivering high-quality features that can be executed quickly.
- **Cross-functional Collaboration**:Work closely with product, engineering, and GTM teams to ensure smooth feature and product design, contributing directly to implementation with hands-on CSS or minor code adjustments when necessary.
- **Design Culture & Process**: Help establish a design-first culture within the company, shaping processes that will define how design is integrated into product development.
- ** Product Vision Alignment**:Collaborate with the founders to align the product roadmap with long-term strategic goals, effectively communicating progress and design decisions to stakeholders.

**Why you’ll want to work here**

- Our platform is incredibly powerful and we push the limits to what can be achieved using AI. We challenge ourselves with problems that haven’t been solved and which don’t have any existing playbook.
