Founding UI/UX & Graphic Designer

About the Role

This is a foundational design role at a Y Combinator–backed consumer wearable startup, where you'll own the entire visual presence of the product and brand from day one. Sitting at the intersection of product, marketing, and identity, you'll shape how users experience the brand across every digital touchpoint — from the iOS app to the website, social channels, and launch collateral. Your taste and aesthetic judgment will directly define a premium, cohesive consumer design language 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.

• Proficiency in Figma and a broad consumer design stack spanning mobile, web, and marketing collateral.

• Aesthetic sensibility suited to a premium hardware and consumer technology brand.

• Ability to work independently and own a wide scope of design work with minimal direction.

• Background from a top design programme or consumer company with a tasteful, user-facing product is a strong plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary of $150,000 USD (or approximately £75,000 GBP for the London office), plus up to 1–2% equity . Visa sponsorship is not available; H-1B transfers are accepted.

Location

Primary location is London, United Kingdom , with flexibility to work from San Francisco or remotely. The role is on-site by default but open to remote arrangements depending on the candidate.
