We are looking for a Founding Designer with 5+ years of experience to own design end-to-end at Inkeep — from product to brand to marketing. You'll be the visual brain of the company, reporting directly to the CEO, and shaping how Inkeep looks, feels, and behaves across every surface a customer or prospect touches. This is a rare opportunity to build the design function from scratch at a fast-growing AI company whose agents are already in production at Anthropic, Midjourney, Clay, and PostHog. You'll have meaningful scope, real ownership, and the freedom to set the standard for a future design team.
What will you be doing?
Own product design end-to-end — designing no-code agent building flows, developer-facing tooling, and complex agentic workflows that feel obvious and elegant
Build and maintain the design system — creating components, patterns, and documentation that set the bar for quality and consistency across product, marketing, and brand
Own the marketing site, landing pages, and campaign assets — shipping pages that are fast, accessible, and unmistakably Inkeep
Create sales and marketing materials — pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, social graphics, and ad creative that make every customer-facing artifact feel cohesive
Shape the Inkeep brand — setting the visual language across website, product, social, video, and events, with strong opinions on typography, color, motion, and voice
Inkeep helps companies ship AI Agents for customer experience, GTM, and operations teams.
Inkeep Agents are deployed at scale today with leading companies like Anthropic, Midjourney, Clay, and PostHog to help with everything from customer support to in-product copilots to sales.
Our Agent Engineering team works closely with Enterprises and high-growth teams to deliver on reliable agents quickly, but we also offer a full open source platform so your teams can own and manage agents in the long run.
Accessibility is our goal: agents can be edited and managed by both engineers and business teams, all in a single platform.
Business teams get an intuitive drag-and-drop visual builder while engineers get developer SDK with type safety, CI/CD, version control, and all the code-based tools they expect.
Platform highlights:
Backed by Khosla Ventures, Y-Combinator, Great Point Ventures, and other leading investors.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
