About the role

The most ideal person for this role understands the psychology behind great consumer products and have a proven track record of designing experiences that become part of people's daily lives. You're as comfortable crafting pixel-perfect interfaces as you are defining product strategy and working with engineers to bring ideas to life.

What You Will Work On

  1. Consumer Platform Interface: Design the modern-day Library of Alexandria - a platform where people can discover and interact with the world's greatest minds. Create intuitive interfaces for clone discovery, interaction, and knowledge exploration.

  2. Mind Finder Experience: Design the world's first search engine for human minds, with novel interfaces for exploring thought patterns, expertise, and personality matches. This includes crafting beautiful, intuitive ways to surface relevant clones and expertise.

  3. Simulation & Interaction Systems: Design next-generation interfaces for clone interactions - from video calls to messaging to citation systems. Create experiences that make digital interactions feel natural and meaningful.

Preferred Abilities

  • Experience designing products that reached millions of users at consumer technology companies

  • Deep understanding of consumer psychology frameworks (habit loops, engagement patterns, user motivation)

  • Strong sense of brand stewardship - ability to maintain consistent brand voice and identity across all touchpoints while scaling rapidly

  • Expertise in designing viral growth and retention mechanisms

  • Strong grasp of gamification principles and notification strategy

  • Proven track record of driving user adoption through behavioral design

  • Experience crafting onboarding flows that convert and retain users

  • Mastery of engagement metrics and how design decisions affect them

  • Strong collaboration skills with engineering teams

  • Advanced proficiency in Figma and modern design tools

  • (Optional) Background in behavioral psychology or HCI

Why You Might Like This Role

  • Build the modern day library of Alexandria

  • Design experiences that will reshape how humanity shares knowledge

  • Apply consumer psychology to entirely new interaction paradigms

  • Create habit-forming products that genuinely improve people's lives

  • High autonomy in defining product direction and user experience

  • Help build a trusted global brand from the ground up

  • Drive design decisions that could impact millions and then billions of users

  • Join a fast-growing startup creating an entirely new market

  • Work with a team that approaches problems from first principles

Why You Might Not Like this Role

  • No existing blueprint - the path to the optimal consumer platform will be non-linear

  • High-stakes design decisions that could affect millions of users

  • There will likely be a lot of failures before you get the wins (due to the nature of experimentation on a new medium for digital interaction & discovery)

  • Fast-paced environment with rapid iteration cycles

  • Not a traditional 9-to-5 position

  • We are a fully in-person team
