We are still in the earliest stages of development, so you’ll have the ability to truly impact the product from a strategic design lens. We are a close-knit, strong technical team focused on building beautiful and intuitive products. We believe intelligent AI systems have the potential to give people more freedom, dignity, and agency to do the things they love – as such, we seek to build in a human-centered way to reimagine our relationship with technology. In this role, you’ll own the product user-experience end to end – contributing to product strategy, running design sprints, and crafting a vision to ensure a simple and elegant design.
Example Projects:
• Collaborate often with engineers to design and ship high quality product improvements
• Conduct user research, prototype testing, and contribute in synthesizing research insights
• Deliver and refine clear storytelling around product needs and opportunities
• Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
• Create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes and high-fidelity visuals
• Collaborate with product team to iterate on feature ideas quickly in close knit design jams
• Build and refine our design system & component library to help deliver a cohesive product

What We Do
We build AI systems that can reason, in order to enable AI agents that can accomplish larger goals and safely work for us in the real world. To do this, we train foundation models optimized for reasoning. On top of our models, we prototype agents to accelerate our own work, seriously using them in order to shed light on how to improve the underlying model capabilities, as well as the interaction design for agents.
We aim to rekindle the dream of the *personal* computer—for computers to be truly intelligent tools that empower us, giving us freedom, dignity, and agency to do the things we love.
