Founding UI/UX & Graphic Designer

About the Role

This is a founding design role at a Y Combinator–backed consumer wearable startup, where you’ll own the entire visual presence of the product and brand. From the iOS app to the website, social channels, and launch collateral, your aesthetic sensibility will define how users experience a premium consumer hardware product from day one. It’s a high-ownership position with a direct path to leading design as the company scales.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end UI/UX design for the iOS app.
• Lead design across the website, social channels, communications, and email.
• Create event invitations and launch collateral that embody the brand.
• Define and maintain a unified consumer design language across all touchpoints.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–8 years of experience in UI/UX and graphic design, ideally at a consumer-facing company or equivalent rigorous design environment.
• A standout portfolio demonstrating strong graphic design fundamentals and exceptional aesthetic taste — this is the most important factor.
• Proficiency with Figma and a broad design stack spanning mobile, web, and marketing collateral.
• Exceptional sensibility suited to a premium consumer hardware brand.
• Ability to work independently and own a wide range of design surfaces without heavy oversight.
• Background from a strong design school or consumer product company is a plus.

• Salary: £70,000
• Equity: Meaningful founding equity stake
• Visa sponsorship: No new visa sponsorship; H-1B transfers considered
