Modern AI lets software reason in real time. That overturns decades of UX assumptions. A chatbot bolted onto old workflows won’t cut it; we need interfaces where humans and agents co-create work, hand tasks back and forth, and build trust in real time.

You will lead Basis into that design unknown: design both the screens accountants see and the invisible UI “toolbox” agents draw from when they assemble those screens.

Imagine Basis 18 months out, then ship toward it one release at a time.

What you'll do

Build
Design and redesign user-agent interactions across multiple surfaces, from first sketch to polished release
Invent agent-ready UI primitives that agents can assemble, edit, and explain in real time
Partner closely with product design on working agents seamlessly into new and existing products
Be a visionary: Pair with founders to sketch Basis 2027, then distill it into quarterly bets
Understand our many accounting users: Building really good systems here start from deep user empathy. You will spend a portion of your time actually doing accounting work in Basis and becoming a user
Learn at warp speed: Immerse in what makes accounting awesome, emergent abilities of LLMs, and various UX for generally-intelligent software, then turn that insight into product decisions
Learning velocity: New domains (hello, accounting!) and new tech click for you in weeks, not months.

We started Basis with the core belief that agents would become an integral part of knowledge work in the near future, and that accounting would be among the first and most important domains where this happened. Accounting is structured, high-stakes, and essential to every business on earth. It's also one of the most underbuilt areas in technology.

Here we are 3 years later, and Basis can now complete a partnership tax workbook end to end. Basis' abilities improve monthly and the rate of improvement itself is increasing. Every day accountants use Basis to create complex journal entries, debug difficult reconciliations, prepare technical accounting memos, and much more. We're deploying real agents to do real work in the real economy.

The world is going to look very different in 2030, and accounting will be at the center of that transformation in ways most people don't yet appreciate. Read more about how we're thinking about the work.
