Design Engineer - SF

In your first month, we expect you to be able to think clearly about how to design meaningfully better experiences for users — not just polish surfaces, but improve how people understand, trust, and use the product.

In your first 60–90 days, you should be shipping bigger product changes that make OpenWork feel less like “AI chat with tools” and more like a real workspace for human + agent collaboration.

I started OpenWork while running my previous startup on AI workflows. The product came from wanting to share my own agent setup with coworkers — not as prompts in a doc, but as reusable skills, tools, MCPs, and workflows the whole team could actually use.

That’s still the core idea.

Your org’s workflows should compound. Your agents should be shareable. Your tools should be connected. And the interface should make all of this feel obvious.

Only SF for this role.

Not “I’d be ready to move there.”

SF.

Comp: $130k–$200k salary + 1–5% equity.

If you want to apply, you need to send all three:

1\. cool shit you did

2\. your GitHub

3\. an explanation of your current design process in this new era

Not one of them. All three.

A polished resume is less interesting.

A meeting lands on your calendar

If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
