About the role
- The product surfaces trends and insights on mental clarity, cognitive load, stress, and more, with a mission to make brain health accessible, measurable, and actionable.

Responsibilities
- Rapidly generate and iterate on design directions, testing ideas with early users to drive engagement
- Build and maintain the company's design system entirely from scratch
- Lead user research to surface unmet needs and validate product hypotheses
- Collaborate closely with engineers to ship implementable, high-quality interfaces
- Partner with the Founder on product strategy - shaping what gets built, not just how it looks
- 2+ years of design experience at an early-stage consumer startup
- Experience building and maintaining a design system (not just handing off Figma files)
Requirements
- Proven track record shipping full-scale consumer apps end-to-end - from concept to production, not just components or marketing sites
- Required skills & mindset:
- Hands-on experience with user research and rapid prototyping to validate hypotheses
- Experience with voice-first, ambient, or AI-assisted product design
- Visa sponsorship is not available - candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
Skills

Compensation
- Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 USD annually
Benefits
