Founding Designer @ Artificial Societies

The Role

This is a founding design hire. You'll be the first dedicated designer at Artificial Societies, reporting directly to our Co-founder & CTO. You'll have an outsized impact on how our product looks, feels, and works - and how the world perceives our brand.

We're looking for someone who is a designer first. Someone with exceptional taste, craft, and a portfolio that speaks for itself, but who thinks and executes like an engineer. You're comfortable translating vision into working software, whether that means writing code yourself or leveraging AI tools.

What You'll Do

• Own the product design end-to-end — from early concept and exploration through to polished, production-ready interfaces. You'll define how users experience our platform and shape new product features from the ground up.
• Own our brand and visual language — working alongside an external design agency to build and evolve a distinctive, cohesive identity across every touchpoint.
• Build what you design — write front-end code or use AI-assisted development tools to bring your work to life. We value designers who close the gap between mockup and implementation.
• Explore new ways of doing things — experiment with novel interaction patterns, data visualisations, and interfaces that make complex AI-driven insights feel intuitive and accessible.
• Set the bar for design culture — as the first design hire, you'll establish the standards, systems, and workflows that scale with us.
