About the role
About Aside
We’re building Aside, the most intelligent AI browser that handles everyday complex work. Our vision is the agentic operating system for personal workflows, built on a crafted browser user experience.
After our viral launch in June 2026, we got 3M+ views, 20K+ users within two weeks. We’re backed by Y Combinator and angels such as Dane Knecht (Cloudflare).
The Context
Aside is software people live in every day, so design is core to the product, not a layer added at the end. Our challenge is to combine familiar browser interactions with a new kind of AI assistant experience without making either feel bolted on.
We’re looking for our first founding designer to define this system end to end, from the first prototype to the last pixel.
What you can expect to work on
- Rethink the browser interface for AI. Combine 30 years of familiar browser conventions with entirely new AI capabilities, while making the product feel native to both macOS and Windows.
- Design a new interface for agents. Chat alone is not the answer. You’ll define generated interfaces, controls, progress states, review, and recovery for work ranging from cross-tool research and document creation to personalized outreach at scale.
- Create thoughtful coworking experiences inside the web. Help people find the right page, understand or translate content, complete forms, compare options, and hand work to Aside without breaking their flow. The assistance should feel calm, clear, and trustworthy.
- Own the product surface end to end. Shape onboarding, browser chrome, task interfaces, settings, and the design system that ties them together. Prototype quickly, work closely with engineers, and stay involved until the implementation feels right.
What we’re looking for
- You can explain exactly why an interaction works, not just whether it looks good. Show us product designs you love and tell us what makes them exceptional.
