Visual Designer

About A1

There are over 5 billion users using basic applications today such as email, notes, and tasks that are not AI-native. Our mission is to build a proactive smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organizing, and workflows, with minimal prompting. Our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion. The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior. Our objective is to help users complete tasks daily with over ~90% reduced time.

Responsibilities

• Design the visual language, design system, and UI components for A1's product across web and mobile.
• Create visual patterns that help users parse AI-generated content, distinguish system states, and understand confidence and reliability signals.
• Design for information density and hierarchy in AI interfaces where content is dynamic, variable, and often uncertain.
• Work with product and UX designers to translate interaction flows into polished, accessible visual designs.
• Build and maintain a design system that supports speed, consistency, and clarity.
• Define visual standards for error states, empty states, loading states, task states, and AI-generated output.
• Contribute visual assets and design specs that engineers can implement accurately.
• Make AI-heavy interfaces feel clear and structured without overwhelming users.

Requirements

• Experience as a visual or UI designer with a portfolio across web or mobile products.
• Strong skills in typography, color, layout, and visual hierarchy.
• Proficiency in Figma and experience building or contributing to design systems.
• Ability to design for dynamic content where AI output varies in length, format, tone, and reliability.
• Understanding of accessibility standards and how to design for legibility and contrast.
• Comfort designing under ambiguity, with evolving product requirements.
• Experience working closely with product and UX designers in fast-moving teams.
• Awareness of how visual cues communicate AI system behavior, trust, and confidence.

How We Work

The best products today in the world were built by small, world-class teams. We are a high talent density and hands-on team. We make decisions collectively, move at rapid speed, striking a balance between shipping high-quality work and learning. Joining our team requires the ability to bring structure, exercise judgment, and execute independently. Our goal is to put a truly magical product in the hands of our users.

Interview Process

For design roles, we expect candidates to submit a portfolio as part of the application process. If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach out to schedule 2 rounds of interviews and a design assessment. Applications are evaluated by our team members. Interviews will be conducted via virtual meetings and/or onsite. We value transparency and efficiency, so expect a prompt decision. If you've demonstrated the exceptional skills and mindset we're looking for, we'll extend an offer to join us.
