Description

• This is an opportunity with a new portfolio company of Menlo Ventures, currently in stealth. • We're on a mission to make data intelligent, beautiful, and accessible to everyone. Our founding team and design advisor—all ex-Apple—obsess about user experience and have built products that millions love. We're pre-seed funded with deep Silicon Valley roots, backed by tier-1 investors. • As our first designer, you’ll work closely with the founders and our design advisor to define how humans collaborate with AI. You’ll own the entire design process for our core AI + data experiences, craft our design language, shape our brand identity, and influence every user touchpoint—from product to marketing. We are also open to expanding this into a Design Engineer role if skillset and interests align.

Requirements

• 7+ years in design roles at design-centric companies, crafting exceptional products • Experience designing 0->1, both in terms of product and design environment (pure startup vs. new work within existing company) strongly preferred • Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma) and the flexibility to adapt to new tools as needed • A strong grasp of interaction design, information architecture, and visual design principles, along with the ability to conduct user research and testing • Enthusiasm for AI and data visualization, and a desire to push boundaries at the intersection of intelligent systems and visual storytelling • Opinions about human–AI interaction, informed by experience and a desire to balance automation with human judgment • A user-obsessed mindset, dedicated to delivering delight through every detail • A proven ability to excel in fast-paced, evolving environments with a bias toward action and self direction • Frontend development skills in Next.js and Tailwind CSS, with ability to build and ship production-quality code

Benefits

• Base salary: $125K – $200K, depending on experience and equity balance • Equity based on cash compensation • Medical, Dental, Vision
