About the Role
This is the first dedicated design hire for an early-stage neurotechnology company. You won't be inheriting a design system or style guide — you'll be building them from scratch. You'll work directly with the founding team to own the full design surface: from early concept exploration through shipped product. The company is building a genuinely new product category in the cognitive health space that doesn't have an established design language yet. You'll shape what gets built, not just how it looks.
What You'll Do
Own the full product design surface from concept to production
Build design systems and style guides for a nascent product category
Stress-test design ideas with real users and iterate based on feedback
Ship production-ready designs that hold up at scale
Work closely with founders on product strategy and direction
Make strong design decisions and push back when something doesn't feel right
What We're Looking For
Required: 2+ years of design experience at an early-stage consumer startup
Required: Proven track record of shipping full-scale apps from concept to production—not just components, marketing sites, or individual screens
Required: Experience building and maintaining design systems, not just handing off files
Required: Product thinker who can shape what gets built, not just execute visual design
Required: Core team member experience building products people love from the ground up
Nice to have: Exposure to voice-enabled, AI, or ambient product design
Nice to have: Experience designing for consumer health, fitness, or wearable products
The ideal candidate is a bit of a mad artist—someone who takes risks, challenges conventions, brings a multidisciplinary perspective, and is deeply curious about design problems.
Compensation & Details
Competitive salary, equity package, benefits, and flexible PTO.
Location
Early-stage startup role (work arrangement and specific location not specified in posting).
