The Role

Dash Labs is looking for a Founding Designer to transform how employees interact with AI at work. They are entering the "Netscape moment" for end-user usage of AI, and this is an opportunity to shape both the interaction model as well as the taste + style of a once-in-a-generation moment. The team highly values design and design-thinking, having worked with Stanford D.School and Alan Cooper.

You will work closely with users to identify unmet needs with current AI utilization, and synthesize this research into novel insights about product features and interactions. You will help define and own the design system and visual language, creating an opinionated personality for the product's look-and-feel and combining form and function in a seamless way. You will focus on craft and details, with a fundamental belief of imputed value and how it applies to product design.
