About the role

  • One week you're refining the identity system, the next you're designing app screens with product, the next you're making something for social that people actually want to share.
  • This is a senior role, but it's a builder's role too - you make the work, not just direct it.
  • As we grow, you'll set the creative bar for everyone who joins after you.

Responsibilities

  • Own Overlay's visual identity - logo system, typography, color, motion, art direction - and carry it across everything we make.
  • Design the product experience alongside engineering: app UI in Figma, from flows to polished shipped screens.
  • Create social and campaign creative natively for each platform, in partnership with our marketing lead.
  • Partner with our industrial design agency to keep the brand, product, and hardware feeling like one object of desire.
  • Build the design infrastructure (systems, templates, AI-assisted pipelines) that lets a small team produce like a big one.
  • About Overlay Overlay is building the world's first intelligent makeup robot-reimagining beauty application through robotics, perception, and design.
  • We've raised significant funding and we're a small, technical team building in person in Oakland.
  • The Role You'll be our first in-house designer, working alongside our external industrial design firm.
  • A feel for a premium, design-minded customer - taste that shows up in the details.
  • Ease with ambiguity, change, and the occasional blank page - you scope your own work and ship without a creative director.

Requirements

  • You can prototype in code, or use AI to get there.

Compensation

  • The annual salary range for this position is $155K - $200K annually based on level in addition to equity & benefits.

Company info
