Design micro-interactions and visual elements to enhance user experience and trust on an investment platform.
О компании
- We've raised over a billion dollars for thousands of founders in all 50 states, from ostrich farms to unicorns like Substack, Replit, & Mercury.
- We're a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to keep the American dream alive. We're fighting to keep America defined by optimism, innovation, and opportunity—the best place for the ambitious to turn ideas into reality.
- We believe America is full of untapped talent, and that helping more founders get off the ground leads to a better future. Our goal is to help 20,000 more founders get off the ground. We're just getting started.
- We're a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.
Обязанности
- We're looking for a designer who obsesses over how things feel — the 200ms fade that makes a page feel alive, the hover state that invites a click, the scroll animation that makes you want to keep going.
- moves real money. People are making investment decisions on our platform. The difference between a UI that feels trustworthy and one that feels sketchy often comes down to the micro-details: timing curves, easing functions, loading states, transitions between views. That's your world.
- You'll work alongside our Lead Designer and engineers to bring polish and life to every surface of the product. You're not just designing screens — you're choreographing how the whole experience moves.
- We're very good at figuring out visa sponsorship when required.
Требования
- Motion is your medium. You think in keyframes and easing curves. You know the difference between ease-out and cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) — and you have an opinion about when to use each. Animation isn't decoration to you; it's communication.
- Pixel-perfect eye. You see the 1px misalignment everyone else missed. You notice when letter-spacing is off by 0.02em. You're the person who screenshots a UI and circles the thing that's bugging you before anyone else even noticed.
- Ship it, don't just spec it. You can build what you design. Whether it's CSS animations, Framer Motion, Lottie, or GSAP — you're comfortable implementing your own work in code. Bonus if you're using AI tools like Cursor or Replit to move even faster.
- Taste over trends. You have a strong point of view on what looks and feels good. You're inspired by great product design — Linear, Stripe, Arc — but you don't cargo-cult. You develop your own sensibility and defend it.
- Speed matters. You don't spend three weeks on a transition spec. You prototype fast, ship it, see how it feels in production, and iterate. Perfection is the result of fast loops, not slow deliberation.
- AI-native designer You use AI tools to prototype and build. Cursor, Claude, Replit, Midjourney — whatever gets you from idea to implementation fastest. The days of a designer silo'd off in Figma are numbered, and you know it.
- Fluent in code You can read and write CSS, work with React components, and implement animations directly in the codebase. You don't need an engineer to translate your vision — you can put it in the product yourself.
- Visual storytelling You understand how motion, color, and typography work together to create an emotional response. You can make a landing page feel exciting or a settings page feel calm — and you know why those are different problems.
- Systems thinker You don't just design one-off animations. You build reusable motion patterns and interaction primitives that work across the entire product. Consistency at scale.

- We're strong believers in an in-person culture. Our HQ is in San Francisco — we have two offices, one in the Mission and one in Seacliff with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
- We're a small team of ~30 that hires carefully. In this new AI world, one star can outcompete 10 average people. We'd rather stay lean, move fast, and spend our time building — not navigating big-company bureaucracy.
- We're tight-knit enough to spend 10 days on a train together without killing each other. Four times over the years, we've all taken the Amtrak coast to coast, stopping in 12 cities. We're a team of doers and thinkers who are insatiably curious — not just about work, but about kickboxing, mountaineering, chess, and everything in between.
- Investment Flow Polish The moment someone invests on should feel significant — not like clicking 'Add to Cart.' Design the transitions, confirmations, and celebratory moments that make investing feel like the big deal it is.
- Page Transitions & Scroll Animations Our marketing pages and founder profiles need to feel alive. Design and implement scroll-driven animations, page transitions, and reveal patterns that make people want to keep scrolling.
- Component Motion Library Build a library of reusable micro-interactions — button hovers, card expansions, modal entrances, toast notifications — that give the entire product a cohesive, polished feel.
- Dark Mode Transitions We use dramatic light-to-dark transitions across our pages. Push these further — make the mode shifts feel cinematic, not just a color swap.
- You've built scroll-driven animations or page transitions that made people say 'whoa.'
- You have a portfolio full of things that <em>move</em>, not just static mockups.
- You've worked on a product where trust and credibility mattered — fintech, health, commerce.
- You're a former founder or a future one — the problem we're working to solve feels personal to you.
