Senior Product Designer, AI Hardware & User Interface
About the role
Pocket is a beautifully designed AI recording device and the intelligent apps that transform your captures into real productivity. We're building the founding design team, and this senior role is a cornerstone hire.
You won't just execute — you'll shape the product. You'll lead design across complex surfaces, mentor junior talent, and help define what great looks like at Pocket. The CDO is a hands-on collaborator, not a gatekeeper, and this is a relationship built on mutual investment.
The most exciting part of working here isn't the title or the equity, it's that you'll hold what you make. AI Hardware is an emerging space with almost no established playbook, which means the designers who show up now get to write it. The interaction paradigms, the design methods, the industry vocabulary for this category — they don't fully exist yet. We're building them.
We believe the way designers will define interfaces and experiences in the AI era won't resemble the tools or workflows we use today. You'll be on the team that figures out what comes next.
Founding team equity. Real ownership. A CDO who's here to build something together with you.
