We think about product feel constantly and will push back hard. So should you. Creation has to feel like entertainment — every screen, every interaction. You'll work directly with the founders and ship alongside engineers, not after them. Your work will be seen by millions. What you'll do- Own the core creation flows — the most-touched parts of the app- Design, prototype, and ship — not just spec- Define the visual language for a product used by millions- Run design experiments fast and cut what doesn't convert Tools- Figma- React / CSS — comfortable shipping in code is a strong plus- PostHog — you design with data, not just instinct What we want- Designs for outcomes, not portfolios- Strong opinions on what makes creation feel good- Iterates in hours, not weeks- Takes ownership by default
