Our autonomous agents continuously monitor KPIs, surface anomalies, diagnose root causes, and recommend next steps so organizations can act decisively.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in product and brand design with hands-on front-end implementation.

Nice-to-Haves

• You’ve built or evolved a brand from zero-to-one and shipped product UI in the same role
• Experience working directly with founders and founding teams to bring their vision forward - and contribute to it
• Experience with AI-assisted workflows in developer-first tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)
• Experience working on brand design and product design in the same role
• Experience with Nextjs or similar frameworks
• Detail-obsessed, but still indexed on speed
• Located in Bay Area (nice to have but not required)

When it’s not a good fit

• No experience using AI-assisted workflows in your day-to-day
• Perfectionism regularly blocks speed
• You rely on others to structure your work. We need a proactive builder
