Check out our product and docs at and to see what we’re building.
We’re looking for a Founding Designer to work directly with our founders and take end-to-end ownership of design at Kapa. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing AI company and design state-of-the-art AI experiences used by millions of users every month.
You’ll be the first dedicated design hire, shaping everything from core product UX to brand identity, website, and collateral. If you’re excited about high ownership, high standards, and building something from first principles, this role is for you.
Why this is an absurdly rare opportunity
You’ll work directly with the founders, who have led design so far, and help define the design function from day one. You'll work with a team of 25+ stacked with former founders and operators from NASA, McKinsey, BCG, Airbnb, Uber, CERN, and Goldman Sachs. This is a team made of insanely ambitious people who are passionate about building, shipping, and scaling.
On top of an excellent team, we are backed by absolute legends:
- Initialized Capital (Garry Tan, YC President & Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder)
- Amjad Masad & Michele Catasta, Founder & VP of AI at Replit
- Douwe Kiela, Stanford Professor, co-author of the original RAG paper, founder of Contextual AI
- OpenAI engineers
