About The Hiring Company

Check you match the skill requirements for this role, as well as associated experience, then apply with your CV below.

Join the hiring company as they build and safely deploy aligned, superhuman AI. For decades, technology was "just a tool" - could it be a colleague?

The hiring company consists of a talented and focused team that is building an AI pair programmer that feels like a full colleague inside your computer - capable, conversational, and reliable across domains.

If this isn't AGI, then what is? Join this innovative company if you want to build and safely deploy aligned AGI in products that matter.

As a Principal Product Designer, you will talk to users, develop user experience strategy and design, and take ownership of everything that takes a product from good to "can't imagine it any other way".

Things that might make you a good fit

  • Familiar with dev tools : the hiring company's users are software engineers, so it helps if you have been (or are) a software engineer, or have designed dev tools before
  • Full cycle designer : you have owned everything UI / UX and product at a startup
  • Very hands-on : you are a principal level thinker, but are still blurringly fast with Figma
  • Comfortable with complexity : you handle highly complex and technical products with relative ease
  • High-energy : you love what you do
  • Ambition : you want to make something great
  • Creative : you have many ideas and you love bringing them up
  • Attention to detail : you noticed that we forgot the " : " after "Very hands-on", and it bothered you.

The Company Culture

  • Integrity. Words and actions should be aligned.
  • Hands-on. Most of the team has previously led engineering teams. At the hiring company, there are no managers. You will spend the vast majority of your time on engineering.

If you want to solve hard problems, this is the right place for you.

  • Teamwork. Move as one team, not individuals.
  • Focus. Ethically deploy AGI. Everything else is noise.
  • Quality. The company has high standards for both the people and the products.

Benefits and perks

  • Benchmark-based compensation in the 75th or 90th percentile, including base salary, generous equity, and benefits
  • 401K with 6% match
  • Flexible working hours
  • In-person (SF or Vienna) or remote
  • A small, fast-paced, highly focused team

FAQ About The Hiring Company

What's the motivation?

Automation has led humanity from subsistence farming to becoming a globally connected society. AGI is the ultimate chapter of the story of human tool-building, presenting the potential to decouple productivity and ingenuity from human labor.

What if the last 50 years of technological progress happened in 2 days? The hiring company wants to make this a possibility.

Funding?

The hiring company has raised $28M from tier 1 investors.

How do they balance deploying the technology today with ambitions for AGI?

They think deploying AI within the right interfaces is just as important as the technology itself. Building an AI pair programmer helps them do both at the same time.

They aim to launch gradually improving AI assistants while pursuing work on what will ultimately become AGI.

Do they train their own models?

Can I work from anywhere?

Applicants from anywhere around the world are welcome. Visa requirements will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

I don't meet all the criteria, should I still apply?

If you feel you have something to contribute to the mission and you're a high-energy person, absolutely. Exceptions are made for exceptional people.

In all hires, we are looking for either 1) difference makers on world-class teams or 2) individuals who would become this very quickly if placed on such a team tomorrow.
